Lawrence, it is alleged, was badly
cut in the arm in the saloon. When
placed under arrest he resisted the
officers and for two squares on the
way to the Jail hecontinued a, lively
struggle. At the corner of Main and
Sixth Streets, taking Chief Elgin off

blow Chief Elgin released his hold on

Car, Upholstered in Lavender

The automobile paint shops Of Indian
apolis seem to be in line for a record run
OF business due to the elite of the city
adopting color scheme for their cars
and apparel.
One young society woman who already
mas quite a local reputation as an adept
oriver recently appeared at the wheel
OF a stunning Regal coupe, which was
painted an attractive shade OF lavender
and finished in lavender upholstering
and broadcloth. Her gown, hat. gloves,
and shoes were also of this color.
society thought the idea was the incest
ever and the color scheme for car and
driver Immediately sprang into vogue
Then started the parade Of motor cars
10 the various paint shops-a stop on the
way being made at the modistes to ar
range for the new gown.
Another young lady, who is driving a
brand new car, bright yellow in color, is
trying to decide whether her beauty can
stand that particular shade or whether
She will have to follow the crowd to the
paint shop.
The idea is rather a pretty one and
has been taken up so quickly and with
such enthusiasm in the locality of It's
origin that We may look to see it adopted
by milady motorist in other cities before
long.

something between the two. 1t was dis

the inspiration for the new shade.
