We ordial invitation to all singers to meet with us art in the program. The ten miles from Camden, >vay 34 five miles and turn on hill near Galloway's on. A warm welcome to Moore, President. HohU'hh To Garden Club The many guests wlvo accepted the invitation of Mrs. Dacre Bush to come to "Woodacre" tf> see her flower .garden in the glow of lights, enjoyed a real treat, last Thursday evening. A light April shower during the day left glistening drops on many leaves and blossoms, ami the air was fresh from the gift of the skies. The center- of attraction was the flower-filled patio, lying 'between the long and spacious poaches that are built on three sides of the attractive home, on the north side of the house. In the center of this court, a lily pool nestles, from which the misty spray of a fountain ix>se and fell like a shimmering silver. veil. Lights placed throughout the yard revealed a wealth of beauty. Above the 'pool and across its breadth a Laxly Banksia rose hung its sprays of yellow flowers in graceful profusion?around the water, close to its edge, Azaleas, in shades of pink bloomed; dainty blue, white and pink Seillas lifted their flowers on stems a foot high and looking very much like Lilies of the Vally on Long stems. A particularly handsome Iris, White ,Knight, attracted' much comment?while many of our well-loved purple Iris grew about the court. A delicate 'lavendar Tulip, resembled an exquisite orchid; while a yellow Tu-I lip, Retroflex, was charming in every way. A flower rarely seen in Camden, was a Bouganvillea, the plant being covered with rosy-pink flowers. Mertensia, little known to gardens here gro\Ving about two feet high, bore sprays of flowers, some blue, others pink?as the flowers change color after opening. Double-flower-j ing cherries, rosette-like flowers, in shades of pink, were admired; an os-j pecially pretty variety of these being the Weeping Japanese cherries, on Which the branches grow in graceful, drooping sprays. A few late Jonquils in tones of cream and pale yellow were seen. A Wisteria vine, growing the length of one of the porches,' could not be fully appreciat-j ed 'by artificial light, but the frag-| ranee of the flowers filled the air. Beyond the length of a croquetground reached by several steps down, many Dogwood trees bore aj wealth of blossoms and Red Bud' trees rose tall and graceful, with their' own charm. A colored light burning near the trees, transformed each leaf] ami blossom and the entire scene into a mysitic world, where all was rosetinted and enchanting! r It would require many pages to tell all of the flowers grown in this garden. During the evening delicious | refreshments were served. I The gracious hospitality of Mr. and ] Mrs. Buslh made the hours one of real1 joy to all present. A poet said? j "The charm of the flowers for beauty, The song of the birds for mirth? One is nearer God's heart in a^ garden | Than anywhere else on earth." j It is safe to say that each guest of the evening left the scene so much like an hour spent in fairyland, with a deeper appreciation for the beauti- j ful, a keen sense of pleasure found in; the delightful social contact and with j a greater enthusiasm for working to; make their own gardens more attractive. Mrs. Bush has been a valuable member of the local Garden Club for the past few years and the club and other guests greatly appreciate her kindness in sharing the beautiful gardens with flower-lovers from Camden and many other places.?R.

The seen# was a symphony in green, the? emerald-green lawns rolling in terraces from the road to the house, broken only by iris-bordered paths to the fountains. Green chairs and tables were placed under the trees, which presented a variety of harmonious greeri, 'including the water oaks, cedars, magnolias and longloaf .pines. Evergreen arches lead up the main path to (the house, the colonnades of which wero draped with huge clusters of wisteria. The visitors in their gayly colored spring clothes added to the effectiveness of the scene as they wandered around the grounds. The flowers wero at the height of their bloom and presented a riot of color. Among them were rod, pink and white azaleas, borders of brilliant pansies, clusters of lavender verbena, great masses of yellow jasmine, huge bushes of spirea like sprays of a fountain, Oherokee roses covering the fence at the road-side, rhododendron, | purple and lavender iris, crab-apple blossoms atvd the beautiful Judas I tree.
