They are for beauty, to relieve the wide expanse of hard white paving. But they are for .safety as well safety of grown persons and children, of automobilists and those who walk. The wide strips of grass mark the danger lines on each side of the car track, holding skaters and riders and walkers away from the tracks and wheels. Thus are the developments of Myers Park along the lines of beauty and j usefulness combined. A SONG IN SPRING. O little buds all bourgeoning with Spring.

Yellow Bells and Spiraes are in full flower. And the delightful part of it Is that all this Is Just the beginning of what Is to be.

But last week, they say, they found themselves in bed an hour earlier than usual.

For now Is Gardening Time, and visitors come to ask for .catalogues and fertilizer, to Inquire about seeds and gardeners, or to , Jook at pic tures of pergolas and garden seats. And it Is building time, and they come to look at photographs of houses and their plans, to Inquire about architects and roofs, to read j about cellars and stairs. It' Is buying time, and they come to look at maps and areas, to inquire about prices and arrangements for payments. Comments Of course, the comments of the visitors, especially the- out of town residents, interests us. Their comments are almost always jthe same. They ride around the Park i see the streets, the transplated trees, the gardens, the views and the house.-, and the new lots recently developed. They stop by the office and see the many activities of the Service De partment.

Although New Or i leans Is primarily a commercial and ; shipping center, the qualifications it possesses as a Winter resort und con- vention city, are hardly less celebrat ' ted. Tart of New Orleans is one of i the oldest places In the Tnited States, the French quarter, suggesting a for eign world of houses, built to the street line. Then, there Is New Or ! lean, a strictly modern city, present- ing n sharp contrast with the old city, j to which It Is Inseparably bound. The women of Louisiana, with true : Southern fervor and hospitality, are Another Joy of Gardening, "Perhaps the greatest pleasure the gardener ever knows la the joy of giv ing. One must rise early to gather flowers before the sun dries the dew and wilts their stiff stems. Even so It Is well to plunge them In a tub of cold water for an hour before dis tributing them to one's neighbors and friends. "To be able to send a basketful of white and blush roses, Frau Carl Druschkl (White American Beauty) rising In her matchless purity and splendor from their midst for wedding; to make up hampers of fragrant and varied small bouquets for the hands of children imprisoned in city hospitals; to decorate a nelth bor's table with one's choicest hybrid teas for a dinner party, or merely to keep favorite flowers in a friend's vase, are privileges which those who have once enjoyed them would find hardest to forego." Country Life In America, Ignorance. We often hear the renark: "Myers Park property is so expen sive." But the man who makes that state ment merely shows his ignorance of facts. Myers Park property is not expen sive, either to buy or to keep, for the aim of the developers has been c- jcomplished in making the place meet the needs of the man of limited means, as well as the man who has more. So Just ask us, you who think you cannot afford to live in Myers Park, and let us prove to you that you are wrong. Sophie Newcomb.
