great interest, among which were the
Home for the aged, Orphan Asylum, and
Little Sisters OF the Poor. The style Of
architecture Ia very different from that
Of Ohio, being high and square, with
balconies extending from each story.
We also noticed that door bells were
placed at tho gates. Almost every home
contains q small garden plot with beau
tiful flowers and several orange trees;
some Of the homes being decorated
with oranges, giving them q very lne
