The Woods, at One Hundred and Sixth and Meridian streets. Mr. Kiger's family and friends have retreated to his country place for more than fourteen • ars. Recently when his son, Earl William Kiger Jr., was married to Louise Nive-, Mr. Kiger remodeled one of the tenant houses for their home. Nestled in a grove of trees, the little cream house with its gai es and green roof is like a dream come true. A path from the new home leads to a log cabin guest house, furnished with an old four-poster bed. A short distance from the guest house is the Kiger family lodge, furnished with rustic furniture and surrounded by* a spacious screened veranda. A swinging bridge crosses the stream which runs through the lowlands. Here Mr. Kiger has his menagerie and apiary, where we tried to roax a peacock to spread his gorgeously hued tail. He was sullen and molting, so we were forced to be satisfied with a stray feather whirh he shed as he walked disdainfully away from our intrusion. His mate was sheltering six young, hatched the day before, • All right, old sulky, we'll admire \nur neighbors.’’ we retorted to his indifference. We walked around a line of cages, housing several varieties of pheasant, whose feathers we visioned as trimming on our fall hats. Our ruse worked, for when we returned, the peacock was strutting in his glory of color, as proudly j r.s the fantail pigeons, which were; doubled back as jauntily as the most j agile drum major. Hog Ignores Coyote A pair of raccoons scampered in and out of a hollow tree trunk in their cage, and up on the hill by the , house a tamed coyote bayed fre- j quentlv as a firecracker exploded !

On our ride in the surrey, we drove through Gregg's farm where dozens of Fourth celebrants lunched in the private picnicking grounds, j Many rode hoseback. starting on their rides from the rustic stables. ! stained natural color and marked with brown knot colorations. Farm Is All White A mile or so from Mr. Kiger’s' home, is his stock farm, where he has the only white Shorthorn herd in America. Fourteen cows graze in thp pastures of the farm, which has w hite horses, sheep, coats, chickens. I pics, guineas, turkeys, geese and. of | course, a white dog which watches the white house and barn, inclosed by a white fence. At The Woods a white swan floats gracefully on a pond, bordered by rock ledges. A swing, suspended from a huge forest tree swoops out j over the pond and up toward the! lookout of the young Kigers’ home. 1 Mr. Kiger has several saddle horses which his family enjoys.! Frequent \ isitors are his daughter. Mrs. Stephen Hadley, and Mr. Hadley; his son. Richard, and three j other daughters. Barbara. Betty and Carolyn.

Gardenias and Orchids Stand Heat Fragile Flowers Serve Well in Corsages for Summer. BV HELEN LINDSAY ORCHIDS and gardenias, flowers which are considered most | fragile, are the ones which best withstand summer’s heat, and are used in corsages at this season. At the Darnel florist shop, in the Denizon plaza, these two flowers are popular corsages. Gardenias are made into wrist corsages, and

since these flowers are never kept in water. they do not feel the lack of it when worn in sultry atmospheres. Orchids, which are accustomed to torrid temperatures, since they originally are tropical flowers, will last longer

than the more hardy roses and other flowers. The new' location of the Darnell florist shop offers something unique in contrasts. The shop was opened last week in one end of the Wheeler cafeteria in the Denison plaza. “The public thought it a little absurd at first,” the manager of the flow'er shop admitted. “But they have become accustomed to it in this short time and realize that ‘flowers and food’ are a good combination. It is possible for patrons of the cafeteria to order a corsage or cut flowers before ordering their meal, and have them ready when they have finished eating. Parking Provided “In addition, they like the idea of being able to drive in and park their cars before going to the theater or shopping, and be able to select their flowers at leisure without worrying about traffic problems.” Flow'ers and food are not anew combination with the Darnell shop, however. One of its specialties are baskets of frui': and flowers combined for sick-i jo n gifts. The idea W'as borrowed from the east, w-here such baskets often are sent as parting gifts to passengers on Europe-bound lines. Popular With Men “Men particularly like the idea of receiving a basket of flowers and fruit when they are ill,” a salesman at the shop said. “While men like flowers, they are always a little more practical than women, and welcome a gift that is a little more' useful.” Low', flat baskets are used for this arrangement. Flowers and fruits are grouped in colorful design. In addition to the advantages of time saving in purchasing flowers at Darnells, the shop features twenty-four-hour delivery service by Western Union, without extra cost to the customer. The shop is air conditioned. Each week-end it features specially priced cut flow'ers. Bridge hostesses may obtain new contract score pads from the J. C. Perry Company, 620 South Capitol avenue, by telephoning the company. The pads are complimentary from the Centlivre Brew'ery, Ft. Wayne, for which J. C.

Robert Hare, manager of the beverage department of the Perry company, offers the Indianapolis public a continuous delivery service, with a fleet of nine trucks. Deliveries will be made on Sunday from 7 in the morning to 11 at night. Centlivre beer has been made by members of one family for more than seventy years. The score pads w'hich are offered by the Perry company will be mailed to persons asking for them. In addition to information on the latest/ contract bridge scoring, the pads have a page or “elementary do’s and don’t’s,” for the correct bidding and playing of the game. The covers are attractively designed in black, silver and green. MRS.
