St. Valentine's day was highly satis- factory to both wholesalers and re- tailers, the big fellow and the little fel- low all sharing in the well-earned profits of this popular holiday, which is sur- passed only by Christmas and Easter as a flower day. That the business, all things considered, was more profitable than that of last year is undoubtedly owing to the return of so many of *' the boys" to the pursuits of peace, which, it goes without saying, include the cele- bration of this holiday, which has come to be one of floral remembrances rather than the old-time paper heart designs. Sweet peas and violets were the most favored flowers of the day, violets being restored to their old-time popularity for the day. Ordinary business also has been satis- factory, although there are not always enough blooms tb go around, the demand continuing strong, due to the continuous funeral work and a few orders for social affairs. Various Notes. Mrs. E. A. Williams, who has been an indefatigable promoter of War Savings since the inauguration of the- movement, has a self-imposed personal quota of $25,000 for 1919 and confidently expects to go over the top with it. Her window display, however, is less conspicuous than during the earlier days, owing to the attempted robbery a few months ago, when the thieves succeeded only in breaking the plate glass, without getting away with the War Savings' stamps. Mrs. Sheaff, the wife of Mrs. Williams' manager, Harvey C. Sheaff, is equally enthusiastic in helping Uncle Sam to meet his financial obligations. Miss Mary Catherine Thompson, a student of the University of Pittsburgh, who spent the Christmas holidays with Randolph & McClements, has been per- manently engaged for evening and holi- day work. The E. C. Ludwig Floral Co. is display- ing a patriotic window filled with French and German trophies sent home by Sergeant Edward E
