Saunders of WINNETKA TALK September 17, 1927 FLOWER CHEER SPREAD THROUGH GUILD'S AID Graphic Picture Shows Flower Guild's Work Among Poor, Sick and Lonely Residents of Winnetka with gardens have shown great interest in the splen- did philanthropic work of the Chicago Plant, Flower and Fruit guild whose mission it is to provide flowers for the poor, the sick, and the lonely in Chi- cago. Mrs. C. C. Daughaday, local chairman of the guild, has given us the following picture of striking incidents of this work, from the pen of Mrs. W. H. Lyford, vice chairman of the executive committee : Has anyone a doubt as to what flowers will do for the unhappy, under- privileged women and children whose homes and bedsides are being bright- ened by the Chicago, Plant, Flower, and Fruit guild? If such doubt exists in anyone's mind, let it be dissolved by the word picture of Mrs. W. H. Lyford of Wheaton. Mrs. Lyford, who is prom- inent in the social and philanthropic life of Wheaton and of Chicago, is vice chairman of the guild's executive committee. She says: "I believe that the real reaction to an appeal such as the Plant, Flower, and Fruit guild comes not from an idealized conception of its beauty, but from actual contact with its benefi- ciaries. The idea is fine, the object easily grasped, its functioning under- standable, but the real love, joy, and beauty only can be known by seeing the flowers actually put in the hands, or by the bedsides of our unfortunates. "There is the story of a little boy in one of our settlements who, after receiving his share, returned for an- other flower. The settlement worker, Telephone Wilmette 3347 DR. FRANK B.

You've al- ready had yours' 'Oh yes, Lady, but this is fur me kid sister,' he answered. Seeing the look of disbelief on the face of the lady, he darted away and re- turned panting, carrying a tiny, crip- pled 'kid sister' down four flights of tenement stairs, just to get a bit of bloom. "Then there was a little lass, just recovering from a long illness, to whom no efforts to rouse her had made an appeal. When the Visiting Nurse appeared in the door of the 'third floor back' wtih an armful of gay posies, the weak, wan wisp of hu- manity sat up in bed with out- stretched arms, crying, 'Oh Miss Blank, are there any violets or dais- ies? I've always wanted to see some! I've heard of them. Violets? Are they really violets? Did God send them?' And the nurse said 'Yes.' "Another destination, through a settlement worker, was a tiny apart- ment over a garage. Here were found a mother and five children, the young- est a babe in arms. They were in abject poverty, having only dry bread and meat scraps in the larder, and half a broken-nosed jug of milk. The settlement worker brought food, meat, potatoes, vegetables, tea, and fresh milk. All this was received with sin- cere gratitude and thanks from each little urchin in turn, whose face pre- viously had been scrubbed in water from a dirty wash tub. "Then came the flowers--two dozen white carnations handed to the mother. She burst into torrents of tears, praying and calling on all the Saints to bless the donors. Exactly four years had the poor soul lived in that dingy, forlorn place, going to the street for what she could buy, never going off the block, too busy having babies and caring for them to get away, and never in all that time hav- ing even seen a green leaf, to say nothing of a flower. "Sitting or walking in one's garden, or unpacking florists' boxes of gor- geous bloom can bring not a tithe of the genuine heartsease and satisfac- tion that the bestowal of one little bunch of violets on a weary, worn speck of humanity affords."
