“It Worked, Bob—My Plan Worked!”
She Exclaimed.
“Darling, this is New Year’s day and
a time for making fresh starts. I’ve an
idea for getting an order for the whole
lot and to Ripleys at that, but don’t
ask me what—just trust me and hope
for the New Year changing our luck,
darling!”
That evening Margie spent an hour
or so over a letter which she addressed
to file “People Say This:” department
of the Crandall newspaper.
The next day Margie Insisted on
hanging around the green liou.se until
Bob nearly went mad with her per
sistence. Then a long distance call
did come through from the buyer at
Ripley Brothers’ store.
“Marchant, say, have you still, by
any chance, got that prospect of half
a million geraniums, and can you be
sure to have them ready on a day we
will later specify—in full bloom by
then? We’ve just picked up a rip roar
ing idea for decorating the outside of
the store with them this spring and
here’s hoping to high heaven we can
still engage them at that date. Name
your own price.”
Boh, happy as a lark, scarcely knew
the buyer had broken the connection
for Margie was dancing about wildly
yelling—“It worked, Bob—my plan
worked!”
“Margie darling, I’ve just had one
grand and glorious shock hut I’m not
fool enough to think I earned It. I
know the answer, so spill the first half
of the story, honey—quick !”
“Bob dear, I wrote in to that column
as though I was some great landscape
artist. They published the letter and
Ripleys took the suggestion to heart.
You see, I said it was a shame that the
stores out here in this section of the
country didn’t ape the big stores where
I hailed from, decorating every window
of their stores with window boxes piled
high with gaudy red geraniums through
the spring months and summer, too,
and with green and red everlasting
shrubs the winter through—just like
so many do in France. I went into de
tail even, hut that doesn’t matter now.
They took it to heart, engaged your
whole crop just so you and I can take
our “geranium honeymoon”!
Put to Bcat'i by Elephants
In medieval ‘ hir _ criminals were
sometimes put to d^..ih by elephants.
A lovely party of Saturday af
ternoon was the seated tea giv.-ii
by Miss Dorothy Jones at hei
home.

were used in the decorations o'
the living room and dining room.
Fine boughs were ananged oi
the mantels in both rooms am
in floor baskets placed at inter
vals. Red berries in an attra<
tive antique bowl formed the
centerpiece of the lace coveret
iea table, other arrangements ot
these berries completing the dec
orations. The guests were seat
ed at small tables, each being
marked by a unique red New-
Year’s bell.
The hostess was assisted in en
tertaining by her mother, Mis.
