Mrs. Goulet’s work was ‘the faatuie-of a program not only pleasant but informative. SOCIETY — PERS Besides the double hisbiscus and sapodilla arrangement shown in the accompanying picture, she used coral vine, and other blos- sorts and “greenery” which can be found everywhere on the Is- land. One simple and beautiful filler for large spaces which need decorating is the use of sprays of aurelis, a plae green and white hedge plant. Mrs. Goulet noted @hst the aurelia is placed in Bud- @hist temples in the Far East. Shé tucked shorter stemmed leaves around the edge of the vase. Another aid is to break up twigs or a small stick to place in the flower container. It serves as a brace for long stems and keéps the flowers from bunching into a clump rather than a grace- ful fan. Cock's-erow, a curly twisted kind of croton in deep crimson and. coppery shades with green was attached to spike holder and ced in a shallow oblong con- iger with red hibiscus for one of Mrs. Goulet’s “little miracles.” Exotic ‘‘niche-filler” was creat- ed by placing a fan-shaped bit of coral bush (not to be confused with coral vine), which looks like a copay pen leaf, in a holder a wooden image. In this easé, an African one was used, but any figurine could be enhanced. #0 : Coral vine festooned ‘across the background of a plant with sword- pointed leaves, or hibiscus and coral vine used with the same plant after its spikey tops are broken off diagonally proved to be another simple to do but sur- anor beautiful to behold selec- Daisies. in a2 soup bowl with fern, iwinklés and the tiny sta penta blossomes, the deli- cate but hardy rock rose... . . things like these which can be found easily. . .was the theme theme for the decor at the luncheon was 8t.

Brought to mind a time years ago when it was springtime and spring was in the heart of my kid brother who was about six. I had been out on my horse riding through the country- side and had brought back crab- apple blossoms and pussy-willow sprays. Mother was pleased with the gift, but I had to divide everything because I livéd at my grandmother’s. She said some- thing about wishing we had a few more flowers to put in the living- Boks disappiered thst afternppn.

We were exclaiming about how nice they looked when @ neighbor came rushing in grab- bling shrilly that vandals had had ruined her flowerbeds, tramp- ling on the narcissus and swip- ing her prize daffodils. Young Bob was not about. When he came in mother lectured him, sympa- thetically, but firmly. He took it with bewilderment, then disap- peared again. . .and the flowers went with him. Half hour later the phone rang. The neighbor lady said “The funniest thing. I went out, to show my husband the damage in my garden and there were my daffodils back in the ground. Of course they won't grow again. Would you like to send your little boy over to get some? Somebody might just as well have the benefit of them now for table bouquets?” Before Mother could explain that she had sent Bob over to return the flowers and to apolo- gize, the lady said, “‘Why there’s your son now . . ,and he looks as if he had been crying.” ALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN _ ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE DIAL: Citizen Office, 2-5661 ea CANCER FILM, FORUM CONDUCTED MONDAY Dr. Lance Lester will be pre- sent te answer questions in open ferum which will be conducted at Wesley House on Monday evening at 7:30 p. m. in con- nection with a film, “Self Ex- amination for Cancer.” The program is arranged for the Kindergarten Mothers Club ef Wesley House at the club- house on Varela Street.

Judge Eva Warner Gibson, Ju- venile Court, Monroe County was introduced as speaker of the even- ing by Miss Pauline Nihoul, pro- gram chairman. Judge Gibson's topic, ‘Revitalizing Our Hopes” was most vividly outlined in the recommendations to be presented ‘by the Childrens’ Commission of Florida to the coming state leg- jislature. “Our children are our hopes for the future of our country and the proper facilities must be ob- tained for them,’ she said. Increased teacher pay, more school rooms, more text-books, minimum lunch fund and many other important items were listed. As a member of the Childrens’ Commission Judge Gibson told about her visits to the various industrial schools for boys and girls and the facilities available also for mentally retarded, deaf and blind and mute children. They are adequate but must be maintained at this level and im- proves as population of state in- creases.
