During the period of 10 weeks j in which the new Wave underwent | recruit training, she received in- struction in Naval history, Naval organization and administratio n, military courtesy, traditions and ' discipline, physical training and I military drill. I Before entering the Naval serv- ! ice Miss McGillis was graduated I from Girls' High School , Boston. GARDEN ROUND TABLE Ths program of the Garden Club was continued with another dis- cussion on Flower arrangements by Mrs. George O. Bartlett at the home of .Miss Annie S. Crowell. Out- standing bouquets at the Spring Flower Show in Boston were con- l aidered first. Special attention was I given to the arrangements in the I 18th Century Drawing Room ex- | hibit. One of these bouquets was j about twice the height of the I container and lacked foliage which is traditional. To the modern eye j this arrangement was not complete. Mrs. Bartlett said "When you can- not obtiain foliage which belongs ' to the flower you are using, be very careful about what you do use . . . During the interim of war a change came about in arranging flowers . . . We began working with things around us and had to resort to ingenuity—Huckleberry, asparagus fern or sword ferns is always available at florist shops. Each of these has a character of its own and thought should be given in the adaption of any one of them. There is a change in texture. . . These three types of foliage may be used together or only one or two of them, but never combine sword fern and huckleberry. . . . Huckleberry has very little curve and is sometimes difficult, while asparagus has a lovely curve and is long and graceful . . . This tern is 1 a standby especially In winter. Sword fern or any commercial fern is always safe and easy to handle, presenting less of a problem than either of the other two greens.*' Mrs. Bartlett returned to the subject of arrangements. She said, . "It you receive a dozen roses, use 11 of them together, one alone . . . | Do not be afraid to cut the various lengths . . . Break up the bouquet. The same holds true with carna- nations. Remember, the flowers aw all right. It is the people who get to quarreling." The speaker continued, "if you are having a party and have done a lot toward the menu, remember that your table arrangement con- tributes as much to the success of the party as anything else. Do not leave It to the last minute. Success comes from doing the thing right, front the correctness! rather than the elegance of the ! arrangement . . . Flowers reflect a disturbed state of mind more than ' anything else can. Placing a bou- quet on a standard or platform ! always accelerates It." The speaker then referred to the Gladiolus Tristis as one of the worthwhile exhibits at the Flower 1 Show. She described it as a small' cream-colored Easter Illy having no foliage, which begins as a fragile bulb and can be planted In the garden In the fall. It is wise to mound it and protect it further by planting It against a .wall. When grown outside Its height it is about one and a half feet. She showed colored pictures of herb and flow er gardens, which set forth the arrangement of the plants. GRADUATE NUR8ES The Cape Cod Association will meet at « p.m. Monday at the Nurses home.

Come In todayI © Cape & Vineyard Electric Company Continued from Pn[t I Centerville's good cooks cooperal- j ing, the results were most success- ! ful. Pound cakes, sponge calces, ¦ molasses cookies and hermits, rai- , sin gingerbread , brown bread sand- wiches, brambles and the daintiest and tiniest of crullers graced the tables, as well as two old glass compotes tilled with lemon drops, j cinnamon candles, horehound can- dies and molasses mints, which had travelled for the occasion all the way from a country store in Ver- mont. Mrs. Eric Starck in a very becoming old gown and Miss Annls Sturgis in a very handsome change- able silk dress of long ago saw to it that everyone was served in abundant fashion. Lest the idea might get around that the whole afternoon was de- voted to beautiful ladies eating cake and drinking tea and coffee, there were many other pleasant things to remember. There were old maps of Centerville—one in I860, the other 1880,—old school readers and spelling books, local Papers of the period and a shelf full of pictures of the village through the years. Miss Reba Fuller had kindly loaned a table and some clothes pins that had. been made at the old wood working mill, while Miss Mabet Phinney exhibited an old wooden grain shovel with fine lines, also fashioned at the mill. In case you needed the third di- mension, a stereoptican was on view and in uses on the desk. Mrs. Starck and Miss Sturgis had loaned some fine old china and glass on which the cake and candy was served, while Mrs. Starck displayed some teaspoons of the Barnstable Monroe silver. Many Hyannis friends Joined the happy group, in the afternoon. Among them was Miss Jean Bil- lings, who came as an emissary from Lorania's Bookshop, bringing the library a birthday present. Ap- propriately, indeed, it was a book and one that will be prized as it deserves. Helen Roues' "New En- cyclopedia ot Interior Decoration." Already the waiting list is long. Warm letters of greeting came from many distant friends—one from the Brewster Ladies' Library Association and one from the, South Yarmouth Library with friendly wishes and congratulations. A very treasured one came from Mrs. Jos- eph Hallett, a resident of Center- ville, wintering in New Hampshire. She had taken time to jot down her pleasant recollections of Center- ville and the library when she was growing up in the villa™ People had been asked by letter to make this the occasion, if they so desired, of adding a gift to the building fund. This met with a wide response and over two bun- dred dollars was the day's gift to the future. There are so many both In the village and out ot the village who helped to make the day a happy and successful one. In small ways and larger ways they are all contribut ing to Centerville Library's wldei service in the community. Molasses Cookies FIRE OOBUSS When Least Expected. PLAY BATE Don 't be underinsured.
