THE, Page Seven. mm mm mmmm Every Route to Wood and Country Frequented by i Flower Hunters. railroad tracks and roads, and across people footed It out i of town Sunday to spend the day in country. Family carriages, hired and "automobiles were out in num- I'bs'rs, but the pedestrians were over- In the majority.

Given a delightful day like Sunday. the promise of wild crab apples In blftom on sunward hills and the call jot the yollewhaBimer from the tree it a person of considerable resolution to resist the impulse to get i out where nature is busy getting things i ready for the summer. Hundreds didn't itry to resist Sunday, apparently, for the countryside was dotted with strollers. AT ONE TIME. Sy actual count there were 167 people walking the Illinois Central tracks near the -nlver bridge or reclining In some chosen nook at one time (n the afternoon.

The Central tracks can always be depended on to furnish means of egress to the city weary on Sun- days. Some go out via the tracks, then come 'back through the cemetery, others take It the other way about. The other railroad track routes also were much patronized, particularly the St. Louts branch of the Wabash and the Wabash tracks leading out to Stevens creek. With east enders the H.

out towards the Cowford bridge, held deserved popularity. FLOWER HUNTERS. The boys, particularly, went far afield and came back with their hands filled with the violets, bluebells and other wild flowers that flourish at this time. Some brought back bouquets of size, eome even of the tender bloodroot, which withers in an hour, thereby prompting some to say that a few flowers are as good as a thousand. One man who found his son with hands full of violets, which he was Idly strewing along the way.

promptly read the lad a lecture on the ruthless destruction of flowers. Similar lectures would be worh while in the schools. Rigs were In demand all day Sunday. particularly in the afternoon. Most of the rigs appear to have got to Fairvlew park at some time during their journey, for there it was a continuous parade all afternoon long around the oval.

This, coupled with the hundreds that visited the park on foot, gave the place an exceedingly lively aspect. INSPECTING NEW HOUSES. "Watch Decatur. grow" seems to have fceen the watchword of many of those who were out, for it was to be noticed that the parfs of town where the most new houses are going up had particular charm for many. Down deep in his heart every rightly constituted Individual harbors a desire to build some time.

"Some hang to the desire' through thick or thin, others build only to find that the man who builds one house Is a saddened individual. But they all want to compare notes, want to see what the other fellow Is doing: therefore the new additions were much visited Sunday. Only second in popularity were the greenhouses. Their forces wet9 kept on the constant hop all day Sunday; supplying the demand for both cut flowers and those in the pot or arranged for planting. Pansles, carnations, geraniums, roses and bulbs were all eagerly sought by the home lover who is seeking to beautify his or her place.

CHILDREN FIND IT. Ju.t west of Custodian Terrenes's house in Fal-vlew and just north of the oval Is the best children's playground In the city' and the children were the flrit to discover It, too, and it JM cuModtan's heart good tf see the children that there Sunttay afternoon to enjoy ana many other things for children of an and from noon until duck hundred children kept the place crowded. It was the most popular spot In the Cuctofhui Torrence has placed the swings and seats about the park now and It Is not necessary 'to say that they were filled all day. Each tprintr. when visitors co to the park for the first time and the work that has been done toward Improving 1 It, they- dvelare It la the ever, throw some bouquets at the custodian and make'- up their to come back often.

This crowd of 3file Is crowing- dally and that Fairvlew will be filled with people every day thle summer. This was evidenced by the several thousand that visited Sunday afternoon. WILL LET CONTRACT FOB P. M. Howard Structure to Be Addition to Water Street.
