The Ever Restful Dark
Green of the Trees,
Big and Little
while sometimes monotonous, is re
lieved by the blossoming tulip trees,
horse chestnuts and catalpas, with
more to follow.
Creeping over the stone-walled
driveways are the sparkling eyes of
ireil roses, except where the white,
yellow and red honeysuckles cluster
themselves into hedges and distill
their sleepyish perfume.
Dear, sweet June, there's never
another bundle of Summer days in
the whole year like you! The pity of
it is, you go away too soon.
It is common for many people
passing through the city to the sea
shore, or elsewhere, to save up a day
to spend in this Store full of public
comforts, enjoy its displays of fash
ions and new things, its big organ,
rest rooms, and have little "parties"
in the Tea Room at luncheon. '
Please be quite at home under our
big roof and in our coolest Summer
atmosphere, and take away happy
thoughts of our sincerest hospitality.
