BARBER 1508 ELMWOOD AVENUE Lake Forest Garden Club Plans for Flower Show The Lake Forest Garden club is making arrangements for its display of June flowers to be held on Saturday, June 16, and Sunday, June 17, in the service buildings of Mrs. Rockefeller McCormick's estate. Mrs. John An- drews King is chairman of the show, and her committee is composed of Mrs. Philip Armour, Mrs. Kent Clow, Mrs. John Coleman, Mrs. Robert Gardner, Mrs. Walter S. Brewster, Mrs. Lester Armour, Mrs. William McCormick Blair, Mrs. Rockefeller McCormick, Mrs. Noble Judah, Mrs. William Mitchell, Mrs. Donald Ryerson, Mrs. John W. Scott, Mrs. Cyrus Adams, and Mrs. Ralph Milman. The show will be primarily to illustrate the decorative uses, and the best quality of June flowers and flowering shrubs. In judg- ing, the quality of the plant material used will be considered but the decora- tive use and effect will be the deciding factor except in the classes of iris, peonies and philadelphus, when the plant material only will be considered. All entries are to be in the hands of the chairman, Mrs. King, 165 Green Bay road, Lake Forest, before 6 o'clock on Tuesday, June 12, it is announced. The show is not limited to garden club members. All who are interested in gardens and flowers are not only in- vited but urged to exhibit. The prizes in all classes will be first prize, blue ribbon ; second prize, red ribbon; third prize, yellow ribbon. There is to be a class for arrangements by children, the first section of which will be for arrangements by children 10 years old or under, and the second section is to be a child's supper table arranged by children 11 to 15 years inclusive. There are nine classes in all. Mrs. John Coleman and Mrs. Robert Gardner of Lake Forest are in charge of the Flower market to be held during the two days of the show, and all are earnestly requested to donate flowers or plants for the market. Playshop to Give Theater Garden Party on Tuesday A theater garden party is to be given on Tuesday, June 5, at 2:30 o'clock, in the garden of Mrs. Harrison B. Riley's home, 1822 Sheridan road, Evanston, by the Town and Gown playshop, spon- sored by the Drama club of Evanston, and the School of Speech of North- western university. Grant Mitchell of the "Baby Cy- clone" company will be the guest of honor and will make an informal ad- dress. Miss Harriet Allyn will give some dramatic character sketches. Miss Allyn's work as the mother in Mrs. Ehlert's prize-winning play at the Goodman theater, "The Undercurrent," in the recent play tournament, has been largely instrumental in securing a professional engagement for the play at the Palace theater in the near future. The invitation cards being sent out announce there will be "tulips and tea, peonies and punch." An entrance fee is to be paid at the gate. STUDENTS NOMINATE DAWES Charles Gates Dawes was nominated as a compromise candidate for presi- dent at the mock republican conven- tion staged by students of Northwest- ern university at N.U. gym Tuesday night. Dawes' nomination came on the third ballot after a deadlock between Hoover and Mayor Thompson had de- veloped. His plurality was 25. Sena- tor Norris was named as his running mate and the two most important planks in the party platform were farm relief, based on the McNary- Haugen bill, and support of the eighteenth amendment.
