$100,000 to the yearly expenditure. The 

 parks of Brooklyn, Boston and (^icago 

 are used as comparisons to the disadvan- 

 tage of New York. 



The retail windows of the bon ton 

 stores are never uninteresting in New 

 York. It would be suicidal and inex- 

 cusable to have them so. Lilies of every 

 kind are used most profusely. The year- 

 ly water lily display at Small's has been 

 renewed. This is always attractive. 

 Ferns of many varieties, especially the 

 new nephrolepis species in half a dozen 

 kinds, and cybotium, are most in evi- 

 dence. Curtains of asparagus are al- 

 ways effective. The retailer with a poor 

 window is not in it with his competitors. 



A. L. Young and John Egenbrod were 

 away this week on a fishing excursion 

 and some startling fish stories came back 

 with them. Lieutenant Reidel, of Gutt- 

 man's, has returned from his vacation 

 on Long Island and was rescued on Sat- 

 urday from the surf after going under 

 twice. The water was over four feet 

 deep where he went down. 



Loeber, of Boddington's traveling 

 force, is back again in the city and rap- 

 idly convalescing after his long hospital 

 siege in Boston. 



Joseph Fenrich is attending the Elks' 

 convention at Philadelphia. 



"Hughey" Nelson, whom everybody 

 has known favorably in the wholesale dis- 

 trict, is now the partner of J. J. Per- 

 kins, with whom he has been associated 

 for thirty years. 



Frank Hicks is summering with his 

 family at Wantagh, L. I., near Babylon. 



It was Starke and not Sharkey who 

 decorated the St. Eegis hotel. Starke is 

 a good horticultural fighter but does 

 not claim to be a pugilist. 



Michael Ford, of Ford Bros., has de- 

 parted for a two weeks' rest at Stam- 

 ford, N. Y., to be "fanned by moun- 

 tain breezes." 



A. J. Guttman and family will rest 

 during the next two weeks in the 

 Schwangunk hills of Ulster county. 



It was E. Satow, of Woodside, of the 

 firm of Satow & Suzuki, whose pretty 

 Jap baby at the outing was "the ob- 

 served of all observers." 



Bonnot Bros, continue their daily 

 shipments of roses to outside towns. 

 This seems to have become a habit with 

 the house and its closeness to market 

 headquarters adds to its facilities.
