In return for being allowed to put up advertisements of his stock in suitable places where they would not be too conspicuous , he furnished several artistic settees , an arbor or two and a small pergola , which the Glen Point greenhouseman decorated in return for a like use of his advertising matter . Still another table , under the care of Mrs. Montgomery , the wife of the editor , showed books on flowers and gardens and landscape gardening and took subscriptions for several of the garden and home magazines . Last of all a fancy table was covered with dolls and paper dolls dressed like the participants in the floral procession that was soon to form and pass around the lawn ; lamp shades in the form of huge flowers ; hats , flower-trimmed ; and half a hundred other small articles including many for ten , fifteen and twenty-five cents to attract the children . At five o'clock the Flower Festival was opened and afternoon tea was served to the early comers . All the members of the United Service Club and the other boys and girls of the town who helped them wore flower costumes . It was while the Ethels were serving Mrs. Smith and the Miss Clarks that the latter called their attention to a man who sat at a table not far away . `` That man is your rival , '' they announced , smiling , to Mrs. Smith .
