iy "12 ri WRN Ladder June 25, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 41 Still Appeal for Flowers, Plants for City's Needy, Residents of Winnetka and vicinity who are contributing cut flowers to the Chicago Plant, Flower and Fruit Guild for distribution to the crippled, sick and needy will be interested in an answer to the question, "Are the flowers appreciated?" This Guild sees to it that the under- privileged receive the flowers brought in by people who own gardens and that are left with attendants at the Guild's booth at the Chicago station of the Northwestern railroad near Gate 16. This booth is open daily from 7:30 to 10:30 in the morning ex- cept on Saturdays and Sundays. A chairman of the Guild committee says: "Are the flowers appreciated? That question has been asked many times by outsiders, but to several of the earnest workers from the Chicago Plant, Flower and Fruit Guild, which opened its booth in the Chicago sta- tion of the Northwestern railroad, for the first time this year, June 1, the answer has come. Not only have the flowers gone regularly into some of the darkest corners of our County hospital to make the last few hours and days more bearable for the hope- lessly incurable patients, and into wretchedly poor homes in the center of our big smoky city--where our wonderful visiting nurses report an unusual activity of the stork this past month, and where little children follow the 'distributor of flowers' in the street begging for 'just one flower' which they tenderly place in an old tin can or a milk bottle and set right in their front window--also they have gone to many little old crippled and bed-ridden grandmothers and forlorn grandfathers and cheered them by their bright colors and fragrance, and given to them a feeling of contact with the 'great out-of-doors.' "One beautiful woman, who is giv- ing of her best to the children of the street, told of a group of sixty boys to whom she had taught the game of checkers to help keep them off the street occasionally. She had worked up a spirit of competition among them and promised prizes to the four big winners. For prizes she chose four perfect roses, each with a lovely fern, and checker boards thinking the hoards would be fairly devoured, but to her astonishment, the boys' pure joy was so great in their flower that even the coveted boards were forgotten! When sunshine can be brought into so many lives and even rough street boys can so prize 'just one flower' should not our luxuriously and comfortably housed suburbanites be thankful that women of insight have devoted so much of their time to the rise of so valuable an organization as the Chicago Plant, Flower and Fruit Guild, and share with others their flowers and fruits--and busy fathers consider it an honor to carry into Chicago a bundle of flowers even though wrapped in newspaper?" Mr. and Mrs. James Fentress have gone to Europe for two months, for the purpose of studying the guild sys- tem in private schools. Their home at 1127 Sheridan road has been taken for the summer by Madame Elizabeth Rethberg, the opera singer.
