OUTDOOR PLEASURES.
Glen Echo Park.

Dancing in an open pavilion to ex-
cellent music is one of many diver
sions that make Glen Echo Park the

the Potomac without change from the
heart of the city into the country.
The amusement at the park ranges
from the thrills of the whip, derby
racer and gravity to the less stirring
but equally popular carrousel and
Fairgrounds where the children can
romp all day. AS an outing place Cor
tired mothers and strenuous young
sters the park has every facility for
entertaining.
For the Sunday visitors free band
concerts this afternoon and evening
will be given by Celfo's Band. led by
| the popular Washington bandmaster
in addition to the numerous amuse-
| ment devices. Dancing is restricted
| to week nights. Picnic tables and
other accessories are at the disposal
| of outing parties. No charge Is made
for admission to the grounds.
