Suggestions for Beautifying Bismarck

strings; SO after listening with wide
open ears and eyes to this fair ont
line, in the midst of my enthusiasm
dropped this bomb of expense, and
with it my high courage; and I feeb-
~ asked But how are we to do if
where are we to get the money?"
But the bomb did not explode, and
l soon discovered that we ladies are
best qualified to help move the city
council toward this and other ends,
simply by eliciting the very strongest
and most potent factor in all this
World-public thought. Public senti-
ment can move mountains-so let
us talk and work and encourage all
with whom we come in contact. to
really believe that we must have our
streets, first and foremost, thus i'm
proved. If the people want them so
beautified, they can have them-and
they will.
After thoroughly discussing this
plan and it's entire feasibility, I was
hungry for more good things from
the mind of our city engineer, and I
said:
Il know that your mind is filled
Win solutions of our municipal prob
lens, and that you can tell us more
something perhaps toward other
picturesque effect, and that sort of
thing"
See to those Streets" he said.
WELL" I replied, t.I will try to.
but what else would you like us to
do?"
Just talk streets. Make the pub
Tic see the necessity of the improved
driveways, curbing and parkways."
Now, never know when I'm
beaten, so I responded:
"Of course I will; but can't YOU
give me just one more suggestion;
here is your golden opportunity, for
can't tell the ladies this much and
then promise to come again!" Of
course it was all pleasantly, but back
came the invincible reply:
You ladies help get those drive
ways. That's what I want most
So you see, that continuity of idea
is a grand thing; and let us put our
shoulders to the wheel, Individual
ly and collectively, show in this re-
gard our public spirit, and push for
prettier and better streets.
And then the telephone and tele-
graph poles at the intersections of
streets; would it not be public

vines about them?-to broaden inst

Wreathed lamp posts, the vines sup
