VIC IMPROVEMENT CLUB

TALKS OF CARE OF TREES

Granville Ballard Addresses the Association at the Commercial Club.

"The Trres in Our City" was the subject of a papr read by Granville Ballard before the Indianapolis Civic Improvement Association at the monthly mating at the r.jmnvTcial Club yesterday afternoon. Mr. Ballard told his hearers of a few minutes' walk he had taken in the principal residen ii-rr'K t an i th van.la'.ism h' noticed against the tres in a very few squares. It was his idea that the superintendent of parks shuuld see that all trees are planted correctly and that dead trees should be removed by the city. In the discussion following the reading of the paper a number of ideas wre expressed ad to which was the best plan to gt the puplic interested in the question of keeping the trees in proper condition. The best plan advanced perhaps was the one to have the question discussed by the press once a week. The question of the lawns of the city was discussed at length by William S. Gilbreath. a man who has studied th question thoroughly and has recently moved to this city from Chicago. He told the members what he thought was the best plan to keep grass on all sorts of soil. He thought that the reason for so many poor lawns was the kind of soil used. It was decided by the association to appoint a committee to confer with a like committee from the Board of Public Works, parle commissioners. Commercial Club park committee and Technical Club committee on the question of ornamental bridges. School No. 9 sent the association a copy of its olans for beautify

Wateon Woollen; secretary. Miss Rhoda E. Sellick; treasurer, Frank P. Manly. NO MORE DANCES BY SALOON KEEPERS

Announcement was made yesterday by Mayor Holtzman that no more dances given by saloon keepers would be tolerated, as & result of complaints made recently that many dances are given by saloon keepers for the purpose of selling liquor has caused an investigation to be made by the police. It was supposed that these dances were given by social clubs, in which case the mayor could not interfere, but the fact that many of them are given under the directions of saloon keepers to assist the sale of liquor makes it necessary for the mayor to direct a crusade against them.

IONDAY we intend making a departure so novel that

every woman in Indianapolis interested in fine wearables will be on hand. During our opening

1J 1 VJ days we had four very handsome and expensive garments, two suits and two coats, to show as the model garments of the season. They have served their purpose, so Monday we will offer them to you at a very much less price than they are worth. Such garments have never been offered in this or any other city so early in the season for so little. Our buyer will take pleasure in showing you these creations. Suppose you take advantage of these extraordinary values at the beginning of the season.

The first is an Eton Suit of black broadcloth with a white broadcloth vest decked out with gold and a tcuch of pale blue. The revers of the coat are of white satin covered with lace and chenille, and the folded girdle is of bright colored silk. The skirt is close fitting about the hips, flaring about the feet and the

shirred back is one of the new effects of spring.

A very swell Suit, made to sell at 598.00, special, Monday

i ciii ui spr nig. $62.50

The second is another black broadcloth suit made up with a stitched vest of reseda broadcloth and fancy braid The sleeve at the wrist is finished with a deep ruffle of lace that falls over the hand in the old continental style. The skirt has a wide graduating flounce with piping of green broadcloth above flounce, train with taffeta drop. In the larger cities this suit

would cost $100.00, our special price, Monday

eines iou sun $57.50

The third is a very loose black Carriage Coat made in exaggerated style, for below the shirred shoulders falls a full skirt and the sleeves are extremely large and caught in a wide cavalry cuff. Below this falls wide black and white lace plaited as full as possible. A fall of the lace makes a wide cascade from yoke to hem. This Is without question one of the most fashionable wraps ever shown in Indianapolis. You could not buy this garment in Chicago or NewYork for less than"J (( $ 1 25, our Monday special price isD 0 U U The last one is a very swell black silk Coat in Louis XIV style, bloused all around, fancy Persian irimming, large puff sleeves and one of the handsomest products of the season. It's an exact copy of a recent Paris importation.

On State street, Chicago, or Broadway. New
