above and across the graded streets

exterior appearances may be found sur
rounding these homes. There are we'll
clipped lawns, graded walks, beds of
richly blooming flowers and foliage
plants; gardens that form not only q
pleasant sight in themselves, and af-
ford their owners many hours of recre-
alton, for in the residential portion Of
our city the dwellings are not crowded
together as they are in the metropolis.

who dwell here may have an abundance
of room and may lavish at Gt-le eN-
pense the full measure of taste, care
and skill, making their homes the most
delightful spots and the happiest re-
treats after the work Of the day. And
