DEAD TREE TRUNKS
NUMEROUS IN CITY
UnSiehtIy, and in Some
Places Dangerous, StumpS
Should Be Removed

Decayed, unsightly, and in some in
stances really dangerous to the life and
limbs Of people passing, the number of
old tree stumps about the city streets
seems to be Increasing. These can be
found in all parts Of the city. They
abound in the sections where the side
walks are shaded, and are seen also on
lawns overhanging pavements. The
trees have been killed in various ways
and having died. no one has ever taken
the trouble to remove the roots and
stumps.
Such things, OF course. are decidedly
unsightly. and frequently spoil the
beauty Of the surrounding section Of
ground. Back of Bishopstead an old
stump recently fell, and another is
about ready to topple over. Another
stump is along King street in from. of
Central Presbyterian Church. They
can be found in almost all parts Of the
city. They are dangerous inasmuch as
they are likely fall at any time and
strike some one while passing.
While the question of who has the
authority to remove these trees has
been discussed it is an established fact
that the owners of the property on
which such trees stand have to look
after them The city considers them as
personal property, and therefore claims
no jurisdiction over them. The own
ers Of the ground are the people 10
have the trees removed, the city TAX
ing a hand only when the stumps are
dangerous. and then it has the author
ity to order them removed.

Topic Tips

Persian embroideries on white silk
ue thinning both summer and
ietumn gowns
A stunning coat suit is Of grass linen
embroidered in Japan.
The tendency is to adopt oriental
materials as well as trimmings for the
summer gown.
Next to fine linens and mulls the
Philippine pineapple gauze is very
popular.
At one time grey was thought too
Lfeless a tone for the evening frock.
This season, however, has proved
ndisputably the charm of grey chiffon.
Silver embroideries and dainty laces
have added tone Of these soft gray
.ffects.
Hand-em'broidered white linen shoes
are so pretty that they can be worn
,or evening.
Silver chain purses and bags are ex-
,eedingly popular. owing, perhaps, to
he vogue for grey dress effects.
The newest of these chain bags are
gathered full on a square top of carved
silver.
For riding and sports women are
wearing smart mannish shirts Of strip
ID cottons. with stiff cuffs and small
pocket.
Sparkling jet combs are being worn
n light hair. and give a note Of dis
inction TO the summer gown.
Chatelaine bags of japanese brocade
With handsomely carved silver chain
md hook, are new and very effective

Where Beauty Bathes

Enticingly artistic in the way in
which a girl of this city has painted
her bathroom. True, there is nothing
original in the color scheme, but she
has worked it out with skill The walls
are apple green. From the floor rise
tall rushes, and beyond these as if in
the water. are lilies and golden fish.
The ceiling is blue. like the sky, with
butterflies floating about and a haze
suggestive Of a coming shower. AS
she did all the work. the decorations
cost only the price OF materials She
had TO pay more. Of course, for the
floor which is of tiling and renre-
sents lake. with a nymph half
buried in grasses outlined in the
