Mrs. Quen tin Gregory. State U. D. C. His torian, and a Club Woman from Halifax j;ave a most helpful dem onstration in flower arrangements which was the high spot of the morning program. Mrs. Gregory exhibited a large display of flower containers. Mosti of the containers were soft greens, .whites and ivory colored. She had a few blue and clear glass containers. None of them had contrasting colored de signs. Mrs. Gregory said, "baskets are the hardest of all flower con-, tainers to arrange." A number of 'flower holders for vases were shown and dlscassed and Mrs. t Gregory told the women that or dinary chicken wire made a most satisfactory bolder. One of her most timely suggestions was con cerning the arrangement of pan sies. Select a low bowl for pansies. put a small bolder in tbe center of the bowl and put sand in tbe bowl to hold tbe pansies or sand alone may be used. Mrs. Hazel ; Wheeler, Home Agent in Halifax County, assisted Mrs. Gregory in putting on the demonstration. | There was 110 afternoon pro gram hut most of the women brought lunch and enjoyed the ^hinob hour together. Some of the (women remarked that they enjoy ed tbe fellowship of the lunch hour us much as any Rurt of the Federation program. C. S. Simmons, of Pollocksville.
