From the Phiads, Record June ~
The question is being discussed in Whining
ton, Del whether her city council shall pur-
chase and set apart as public park, forever
a body OF land embracing some OF the most
beautiful scenery on the Brandywine:. Such a
policy is undoubtedly wise, if the details eau be
Satisfactorily arranged. AS the years pass on
thriving cities make rapid inroads into green
fields and favorite rural resorts; and while the
country is pushed further and further into the
background its refreshing breezes and its
strengthening influences become more and more
essential to the health Of a redundant popula-
tion. A park in the heart OF Philadelphia would
be of incalculable value and it is not an extrav-
agant supposition that it would annually save
thousands of lives, and add vigor during our
scorching summer seasons to tens OF thous-
auds of toilers and their children. Lacking that
the next best thing was the establisem ,nt of
Paramount Park. But Wilmington and all 9TH
er honrishing cities will find that no municipal
action is 30 useful and popular as the prompt
establishment Of convenient parks, judiciously

Travelling Dresses.

For midsummer iourneyings, dress which
separates at the waist, thereby per mltting the
