represented tbe advanced building ideas 

 of men who are abead of tbeir time. 

 Eacb was carried into execution by 

 mechanics employed by these brainy 

 men, with material and ideas furnished 

 by the two leading horticultural build- 

 ing concerns of the east. One was of 

 extraordinary width, the other of ex- 

 traordinary length. Both were objects 

 of wonder and of admiration in the 

 horticultural world. It is encouraging 

 to note that both houses will be imme- 

 diately repaired on the same lines. 



Assembly Night. 



Walnut street is quiet, save for the 

 occasional rumble of a passing trolley. 

 It is half past ten in the evening, and 

 flie rush of cars for the great ball is 



still a half hour away. Inside the Belle- 

 vue-Stratford flower shop the scene is 

 bright and active as though it were 

 morning instead of night. Six or eight 

 figures are moving about noiselessly, in- 

 tent on their work. Only an occasional 

 word is spoken, in low, earnest tones. 

 The center of the room is filled with 

 vases of flowers. Beauties, scarce as 

 they are, pink roses, tulips, daffodils 

 and, beyond, covering all one side, is 

 the handsome showcase filled with rich 

 beauty. Work tables, desks, mirrors 

 and telephones complete the picture. But 

 one of the figures is speaking; it is 

 John P. Habermehl himself. It is won- 

 derful how a kindly word of greeting 

 can be spoken so naturally in such rush 

 after a long day. All his lieutenants 



are about him. Here is George Faulk- 

 ner, drawn in from Twenty-second and 

 Diamond streets for the occasion. He 

 is blithe and debonair, as his friends 

 like to see him. There is Harry Jones, 

 with that happy smile that recalls his 

 quizzical look when he once said, "Poor 

 as I am, I am married," for Mr. Jones 

 has been one of the Bellevue's main- 

 stays for several seasons, and is de- 

 servedly prosperous. Then there is 

 Fred Leavey, from the Orchid. But 

 George Faulkner is speaking: "Mr. 

 Habermehl wants you to see the ball- 

 room. ' ' Mr. Faulkner leads the way 

 through the crowded lobbies, past the 

 acacia-filled case upstairs to the ball- 

 room. The approach is bordered by a 

 smilax-covered trellis. It is beautiful
