Mr. Adolphe de Bathe, notedminiature painter of London, Eng-land, is making a stay in WinterPark. On a previous visit hepainted Mrs. Philip Stillman andMrs. Stevenson Burke, of Cleve-land, then at the Alabama Hotel.Mi', de Bathe has painted minia-tures of royalty including QueenVictoria and King Edward VII.

The new Florida residence forMr. and Mrs. F. M. Smith, com-pleted just in time for them to oc-cupy it this winter season, is lo-cated at Aloma and Cortland Ave-nues, Winter Park.

In the large arched windows andentrance, the delicate wood grill,and the picturesque tile roof, thearchitect, Harold Hair, sought tobring to mind both Spain andMexico. The house is built inU-shape, and encloses a spaciousflagstone terrace and patio.Through the small entry and apanelled door is the hall. To theright of the hall and separatedfrom it by a beautiful wroughtiron grill and gateway is the im-mense living room. The ceilingof this room is high and beamed,the floor is of tile. On the farside is a Mediterranean fireplaceof cast stone. Adding to the im-pressive atmosphere are the an-tique wrought iron light fixturesand truss rods. To the west ofthe hall is the dining room withexposed stained roof timbers. Be-yond the dining room is a roomyand inviting screen porch, and tothe rear is the efficient and up-to-date kitchen. Here are convenientcabinets, beautiful tile work, a suf-ficiency of working surfaces and

the best of electrical euipment. Inback of the kitchen is the laundryroom and the double garage.

The east wing of the house con-tains three large bedrooms. Theseare served by two bathrooms, fin-ished in colored tile, with coloredfixtures. The gallery connectingthese rooms may be reached fromthe living room or from the rearterrace, through a grilled door.This wing is plentifully suppliedwith closets and built-in cabinetsfor blankets and household linens.This bedroom wing is elevated toprovide greater advantages in cir-culation and to obtain more pri-vacy.

As this is principally a winterhome, the greatest attention wasgiven to the heating system.The house, even on the coldestdays, maintains an even warmtemperature.

The addition of this home to ourcommunity is indeed a complimentto Central Florida, for it happenedthat last winter Mr. and Mrs.Smith were touring Florida andjust chanced to pass through thissection. They liked it so well thatthey decided to remain for the restof the winter. They continuedto like it so well that they sought

UNIVERSITY CLUB HASAN EVENING OF PUN

Laying' aside for the nonce theiraccustomed grave/ demeanor anddiscussions of the weighty prob-lems that afflict the universe, themembers of the University Clublast Saturday evening went in forthe lighter side of life—and itmight be truthfully said,—"a goodtime was had by all".

Although he has not yet beencrowned Poet Laureate of the ClubDr. Eugene R. Shippen againdemonstrated how successfully hewooes the muse by reciting a fewverses to celebrate the occasion.Here they are:—0, we are the lions of Winter

Park's zoo;We're high-brows, it's plain to

observe;Our roster, it sure is a local. "Who's Who",—

(A modesty prize we deserve.)

We've doctors, and teachers, andmen of the law,

A writer of many a tale,A bishop, a prex, and a big man

of war,And financiers not yet in jail.

(Note: Law and war rhyme inNew England.)

Let no college rivalries part us to-night,

Let harmony 'mong'st us prevail!Lot Eli's big bull-dog be nice and

not bite,Though Harvard ties knots in

his tail.

But hold! there are females whosport cap and gown,

That 'varsity, blue-stockingbunch.'

When wo think of those sisters,our stock it goes down,

We've not such big shots, I've ahunch.

Yet, we are the people, as Job didremark,

And wisdom will die with us,sure.

.For so long as we live in this burg,Winter Park,

Its name and its fame are se-cure.

Eugene R. ShippenThe author concluded saying

"This beautiful poem in mimeo-graphed form may be had for onecent a copy, the proceeds to gotoward the support of RollinsCollege. 'The poor we have withus always'."

CREDIT GIVEN FORPRIZE WINNING PATIO

Editor Winter Park Topics:The Winter Garden Club has rea-

son to feel gratified over the awardof the blue ribbon for its exhibit,a Spanish patio, at the CentralFlorida Fair, but it would seemonly right that credit for the ex-hibit be now properly apportioned.

The detailed plan, with much ofthe labor in carrying it out suc-cessfully, is to be credited to MissFaith Jones, landscape architect, amember of the North End Circleof the Garden Club. For the plantswe are indebted to Mrs. Fownes ofthe Maitland Circle, Mr. J. GambleRogers, Mr. Foster of the TropicalArts, and Mr. W. H. Hayward, the

florist. Mrs. George L. Noyeskindly loaned a Spanish madonna,tapestries and copper jars. Mrs.John J. Carty allowed us to useher choice tiled bench, associatedwith the beloved Annie Russell,which added so much to the artisticscheme. Thanks also are due toMr. R. G. Coffman of Ye OldeForge, for the iron gates, the strik-ing central feature of the patio.The Winter Park Woman's Clubcontributed the pool and the •wall-board. In the final arrangementsMrs. Alvin A .Marriott and Mrs.Robert R. L. Bigelow gave theircooperation. Nor are we forget-ting Mr. Marriott's indispensableaid in painting the pool and thegates. My own part, such as itwas, represented only the contri-bution of a responsible chairman.
