Our 1908 Easter Cards


: We are now displaying one of the
handsomest lines of Easter Cards this
season that has ever been offered to
the trade. These are cut out crosses
in variety of shapes, decorated with
spring flowers, angels. and illuminated
texts. The folders are shown in many
styles, exquisitely colored and design
ed. One of the daintiest is a series of
ten designs with delicate green bor-
ders and green palm leaf cross with a
few flowers in the center. The in
scription inside is printed in colors and
gold.
Among the novelties there are cut
out rabbits that have moving eyes,
and also a large hen sitting on a bas-
ket with holes in it, behind which is
moving card showing chickens peep
ing out through the holes. Among the
cunningest cards for the children are
little cut out chicks all dressed in their
Easter fnery.
Out of town customers would do well
to order early.

Band Concert in the Zoo Park.

To the Editor Of The Star:
l should like to offer two suggestions
in the hope that the proper authorities
may take action upon them:
The Geological Park is undoubtedly an
IDEAL and proper place for a band concert
on Sunday afternoons when the weather
Is favorable. Each Sunday finds great
numbers there. some to see the animals
and others to take advantage of the many
cool and inviting spots on the grounds
In New York and other cities having
mena geries there is usually 4 band stand
on the grounds and a concert given about
four or five o'clock that Is attended by
great numbers. In this city concerts are
given principally on military reservations
on Sunday afternoons, and such concerts
are apparently for those living In the VI
cinity. for while the public Is aware OF the
time and place for holding these concerts
as general rule they are poorly attended.
Especially is this true Of the concert by
the Engineer Band at the Washington
barracks
Next. large clock should be placed
somewhere on the outside Of the Union
station. So far as am aware no provi-
sion has been made for this important
feature of the terminal. Not only Is this
very necessary now to inform the walking
public how much time they have to catch
their trains, but also when the permanent
tracks are finished WILL such q timepiece
be advantageous. The value Of this sug-
gestion Is apparent without further com.
ment. IRWIN SONDHC1MER. {.

sociation We extended an invitation to al
property owners to join us and become
boosters instead OF knockers.
In company with Messrs. Lawson and
Love Mr.. Goodkey visited the Langdon
School building a few days ago and made
an inspection OF the improvements being
made thereto. and the three gentlemen
were unanimous in their condemnation OF
the lack OF exits in the building, which
are highly essential in case of fire. Why
Mr.. Goodkey should change his condem-
natory criticism at that time to words OF
praise two days later is beyond concep-
ton.
We are not unmindful OF the work done
in the past by the Northeastern Subur-
ban Citizens Association toward secur-
ing improvements in this section. but our
rapid growth demands that We should
form an organization in our immediate
vicinity through which We can advise the
Commissioners OF the urgent need OF GER
tain public improvements At our first
meeting there were about seventy-fve
members enrolled, and We anticipate that
this number will be increased to one hun
dred at the meeting next month.
