Along Azalea Row
This is to report that a little
extra ballooning in the pride de-
■apartment of members of Azalea
Garden club is not without justi
fication. With the weather quite
in reverse of sun-stroke indica
tions, there were 72 including
members and guests to applaud
the program of our Christmas
party—the program, one of the
best of the season. The list of
guests make 13 a lucky number.
They were:
From Portland -Mrs. Marshall
Dana (also a member; from Polk
county, Mrs. L. A. Humphrey
(Mrs. Tony Olsen’s mother);
From the Dakotas, Mrs. Ersa
Fischer; from Crescent City, Mrs.
Magruder; from Brookings and
Harbor, Dorothy Widney, Minna
Akers,
Ruth Smitte, Johnnye
Moore, Madalyn Carroll, Edna
Young, Mrs. A. G. May, and Mrs.
Ida Hall of Smith River. Noted
among the throng, the many trips
of Mrs. Clara Mclndoe to the
business section —the ‘‘bankers
table:” of the financial chairman.
And from the smile on the lat
ter’s face, we may judge that
the “take-ihome-pay” for club
was satisfactory.

the day, Mrs. Charles Grayshel,
Mrs. Jessie Hoagland, Mrs. Ray
Guerrettaz, Mrs. Lloyd Moss, Mrs.
Louie Stoller, Mrs. James Koeh
ler, under chairmanship of Mrs.
Tony Christianson, provided a
lovely back-ground for the rest
of the program.
The Carol Singers, under di
rection of Mrs. C. A. MacKenzie.
in fact the entire musical pro
gram deserve more than a cas
ual mention. For this reason, Mrs.
MacKenzie will be asked to take
over this column in the future
to tell us all about her work in
this department.
The five-minute talks on the
horticultural symbols of Christ
mas by Mrs. Miller, Mrs. McVay,
Mrs. Hibbard, and Mrs. Hendry,
were vignettes charming and full
of information. To have contain
ed all this information, reference,
entertainment and to be so brief,
took a lot of ‘‘doing.”
Represented by her corsages
and great general assistance to
the financial ehiarman, though
absent from the meeting, Mrs.
Stonehouse. It is tô be hoped
she may be with us in the future.
Next meeting, Jan. 11, is the
Azalea Garden Club’s birthday
party, pre-view of the big annual
flower fiesta and flower show, so
keep an eye on “things growing’
as against that time.
Thought for the Day
“Nature may be a thing of
beauty and is indeed a symphony,
but—within its apparent quiet
ness and changelessness, is an
active, purposeful, co-ordinated
machine. Each part is dependent
upon another, all are related to
the movement of the whole. For
ests, grass-Lands, soils, water, an
imal-life—without one of these
the earth will die—will become
dead as the moon.” (Osburn, in
■‘our Plundered Planet.”)
