'P Lenhart and Mrs. F. A. Lahr, moved in bright and early Saturday. marn- ing and took charge. The floral busi- ness for the day was turned over to them in its entirety. The ladies had ‘barely time to give the stock a few | preliminary pats when patrons began | rolling in, and the stream continued all day, ‘When evening: came only a few, A good-hearted knight of the grip chanced in, saw the stragglers, reach- ed for-his purse and ordered the whole lot .sent to the city hospitals.

The Hos- kins company turned over everything it had for sale in its floral line without reservation and without cost, and ev- ery penny paid for flowers during the' long, busy Saturday, went into the Red Cross fund. The ladies are profuse in their ex- pressions of gratitude for the gener- esity of the Hoskins’ store and the liberal patronage of the Bismarck pub- lic. It was a big day. | "SOCIETY NEWS.
