 A walking club is the latest indica- tion of progression. Any desiring to join will please be at Greencrest Thursday at 3 p. m. for an afternoon in the open. It is a good scheme, for it is not we'll for any one to get out of the way of walking. It takes time of course, but time we'll spent, as the natural and moderate exercise may save time passed in bed. Certainly picturesque Wilmington is an ideal place for discovering new dells of de- light and points of observation, as we'll as for becoming better acquainted with our wild flowers and the little wild folk of the woodland, who are neighbors to cultivate. Suc- cess to the walking club.
