are incomparably lovely.
Visitors from New York City
and environs included Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Lehr and their sons
Richard and Peter, who had just
become the proud owners of a
small dog purchased locally and
were busy formulating plans for
its future, which includes sew
eral-room dog house with an ar
rangement for notwithstanding
fresh drinking water.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lehr are very
fond of Key West, and hold
beautiful memories of the city,
for it was here that they spent
their honeymoon in the winter of
1899.
From Mobile, Alabama, Miss
Evangeline Stevens Id her
widowed sister, Mrs. Alice Farm
es, came to Key West primarily
to see the Little White House,
which they said they had read so
much about, and were so curl
Gus about. Now, says Miss Evan
geline, having seen Key West,
and also the Little White House,
she does not wonder that Presi-
dent Truman is favorably dis
posed toward the city, for in her
opinion it is delightful, an opin-
ion which is shared by Mrs.
Farnes.

to flower profusely. The largest

Punta Gorda. Mrs. Meadow has
written a splendid description of
her Jacaranda:

has been tinted with blue for two
weeks is today covered with an
azure carpet of fallen. blossoms

towering. The tree is leafless, but
swaying from top and twig of

blue, bell-like flowers nod their
song of spring to the soft bteeze
and gay sunshine. The leaves of
the Jhcaranda are quite as inter

double-p lnnate and in formation
resemble the leaves of the Fern
Tree. In fqst one often hears the
Jacaranda called the Fern Tree.
