We didn't have long to stay and it's awfully big. but we had time to go in and see the old Centennial Buildings - the "Memorial Art" and "Horticultural Hall" and a new arch. &cross a pretty little bridge up to the old Horticultural Hall, where we saw the finest tree - and other ferns I ever hope to see - Like a tropic jungle it seemed to me - and very, very beautiful. In a little green house adjoining was a gorgeous exhibit of blossoms - everything from Easter lilies & callas to the brightest purples, yellows, pinks & reds. The tulips were wonders too. It was delicious - the odors & all. There is a pretty view of the Schuylkill from the front, but we had to go slowly back to our car, as it took half an hour to go back down town (another way) and we stopped at Gimbel's (a fine store) and bought handkerchiefs and neckties for "the boys" -&c then went back to our hotel - had a good dinner, packed up and took the car to the lovely Broad Street station and the 8:45 8:50 train for home! The "Rinhern" was our car & we were the only ladies in it ("Lower Ten" again) until about midnight when a solitary one came in. We had some Phila papers to read before bed time.
