What manner of hoax, if any, the Civic Theater ball committee is planning for the April Fool's dance tonight at the Indianapolis Athletic Club is shrouded in mystery. But odds are even that the promoters of the annual fund-raising project have a trick or two up their sleeves to make ‘‘poissons a’Avril” (April fish), as the French put it, or April “gawks,” as the Scotch say, out of at least some of the guests. Clusters of multicolored balloons festooned from the sidelights and ceiling and ribbons of serpentine will lend a carnival air to the ball. A number of cocktail and dinner parties are planned for the early evening and several guests will come frem the symphony concert at the Murat. With Mrs. William G.
