the treat of a day at the Washing
ton Zoo. Several mothers also went
along to assist Mrs. Ward and the
competent driver of the bus, George
Jones. We wondered several times
during the day which the children
enjoyed the most - the ride on
the bus, singing and shouting at
the top of their lungs, or the picnic
lunch where the sights of the morn
ing were rehashed and enjoyed over
again. One little girl, when we
asked her what she liked most dur
ing her trip, told us the mechanical
horse that cost dime to ride for
one minute, was the most fun. Per-
sonally your correspondent has al
ways been partial to the sea lion
with his easy grace in the water,
and his numbering walk out.
