made by President HOLMAN OF the asso-

Denver's fame as beautiful city Is
world wide. think the longer ono re-
mains in it the better they like IT.. II Is |
little wonder that Its people swear by it |
and that visitors praise its charms far
and wide. In some respects 1t is unlike |
any other American city Of its size. In
this its most notable feature is the alb
sence of the smoke, SCOT, grit and dirt Of
manufacturing towns. Nearly, 1t not
quite all, of Dpnver's wealth comes not
from the torae and lathe, but from the
richness Of thousand hills. Its busi-
ness section reminds one greatly Of
Minneapolis, which is as complimentary
to Minnesota's metropolis as to Colora-
dos. The streets are all paved with as
phalt and over them hum more bicycles
than in any other city of its size in the
Union.
But If were q woman of 40 and past
most likely past-I wouldn't effect the
bicycle skirt ala mode. 1t is trying
costume at best and it takes mighty
fresh and youthful face 10 stand the test.
Our good friend Father Foote in knee
breeches and scotch cap leading wheel
to hitching post on Main street would
not look whit more ludicrous than
hundreds Of matrons one sees through
the shopping districts Of almost any city
these days.
Another striking feature Of Denver is
the unlimited number of small brick
rc0ttages-it their homely proportions
may allow that name to be applied to
them. never saw In any one city 40
many brick houses. 1t is the material
universally used for building low cost
houses. | am told that the fire limits
cover a large area and within them no
frame buildings can be erected. The
result is that instead Of the pretty frame
and handsomely painted cottages found
in the resident portion CT eastern cities,
here are whole rows Of one story or
story and half brick, severe in their
plainness. Few cities have handsomer
public buildings than Denver. The cap
itol building is one Of the most beauti-
full structures In America and the site
upon which it stands serves to show it
in all its magniEcence. The reader will
not infer from what have said Of the
residence portion Of Denver that the city
is lacking in handsome homes On the
contrary, they are in proportion with the
wealth and importance Of one of the
wealthiest cities in the west and COLI
structed with the lavish expenditure
characteristic Of western liberality.

afraid the ladies will get away with
their last dollar before we get out OF the
town.
