It is double the size of the common snowdrop, Galanthus nivalis, and makes twice the show al- thougb one would not be without the TIw hherald the approach of çPring tinier and more faitbful variety. The Elwes snowdrop is. a regular bloomer but for some reason is very slow of incrense. The same bulb wilI repro- duce itself year after year and pro- duce its single bloom,. but if it makes ON HOST HOUSE PROGRAM Mrs. Edgar Fellers of Wilmette, soprano, and Helen York, pianist, were joint artists in a musicale given at the Illinois Host House a A Cen- tury of Progress just before the clos- ing of the Fair.

CHÉSS CLUB WINS The Wilmctte ' bess club played Waukegan M da. November 5, in its first north short match -of the year. Two games were played by eacb par- ticipant. The first teain tied, eacb club winning six games, and the sec- ondteani won by the score of 8 ýto 4. The following wvon botb their games: First team, Mr. Major; second.team, O. A.. Harris, W. Winberg, C. H.. Jones. a new bulb every three years it is do- ing well. You should buy a liberal supply of. this giant forin to make a planting as the -planting will be perm- anent enougb but it will not increase much. The. tiny common1 snowdrop does mucb better and colonizes well. It cornes up well in the grass and is more permanent* than the crocus be- cause it matures its leaves early enough niot to be mucli hurt by the first mow- ing of the lawvn. It requires quite a number of these little bulbs to make a showing, but a substantial patch of these snow white blossoms with their green frilled central cup is an annual delight. Another old-time and very early bulb is being revived in garden interest by California growvers. This wvas formerly known as milla or triteleia uniflora and is an attractive littie white- star- of about the size of the snowdrop with a pale blue band down the center of each corolla division. This -follows closely after the snowdrops, and is an attrac- tive littie plant of the lily family with strap-shaped green leaves. It is* a fine companion for the snowdrops and scillas. Snowdrops, appropriately named, arc thc first flowers of spring. Sometimes ini a Fehruary thawv they bang out their three-corncred snowv littie belîs as far north as northern Illinois and soutlieril Michigan. Planted near the founda- tion on the south side of a house they find a most favored location. Plant them under a window and some day. while there are patches of snow in thc distance, you may glance dowvn and see a breath of springtime almost at your f eet. TELLS BIGGEST THRILL Jimmy Cagney, who plays the part of a gob in the Warner Bros. produc- tion of "H-ere Comes the Navy," de- clares that the biggest thrill of the whole picture occurred at Sunnyvale, Calif., when he stood atop the moor- ing mast of the U. S. S. Dirigible Macon. and watched two men lift the huge liglter-than-air craft from its, moorings-the final test of the ship's buoyancy, before she makes ber as- cension. FEEL LIKE "'OLD GRADS- Making a picture about the United States navy gave Pat O'Brien and Di- rector Lloyd Bacon. the same feeling as an "old grad" gets when lie goes back to. bis college for a class reunion. Two weeks aboard the U. S. S. 'At- zona, 'where Warner Bros. filmed "Here Comes the Navy,"' brought, back-war niemories to both O'Brien and Bacon, and echoes of the days when they were both in 'the navy. Miss Gertrude Herndon of Tulsa. Okla., will spend the week-end visit- ing Miss Nancy Wilds, 244 Oxford road, Kenilwortb. The girls are classmates at the Ferry Hall junior college ini Lake Forest.
