We exchanged pleased glances as we noticed the lavish decorations of white chrysanthemums, a loving tribute of 1913's affection to the even number line! We looked around eagerly expecting to find wonders from the tropics and ice-plants from the pole, but alas! There were only scraggly, stinging cacti, Sirrrpsorr weeds, lemon trees, and the like.
