S|XTY-FOUR STRONG

MEMBERS BY NEXT MEETING
OPENING NIGHT TO BE cELE-
BRATEO.

Last Friday night the ladies of the
Alhambra held their second regular
meeting, which was splendidly attend
ed, the big parlors being crowded. At
ladies who have enrolled themselves as
members of the auxiliary and there is
every indication of that number going
to over hundred by the next meeting.
The bylaws committee made it's re-
port and the bylaws which will govern
the auxiliary were adopted Prepara-
tions were made ready and committees
appointed for the celebration of the
opening of the big natatorium which
will be finally completed within the
next few days. 1t is very probable
that August 7th will be the day set for
this big celebration which will be in
charge of the ladies' auxiliary. There
will be music, refreshments, and dane
ing and there may be some aquatic
performances. but this is a detail which
will be adjusted later. A suggestion
was also made that the big pool be
emptied on the night of the reception
and that the refreshments be served
in there.
After a conference between the
house committee and the ladies' aux
Hilary, the following days for bathing
and the prices for bathing were adopt

of directors of the club. They are as
follows: Days for bathing: Ladies',
Tuesday and Thursday, to p. m. :;

LATER.

The sanitation squad which was or

under the auspices of the Fifth District
Civic League, will begin shortly to
make their tour of our district for the
purpose of educating and helping in
giving instructions to our many resi-
dents in the clean up campaign that
has become necessary in the preven-
ton and determination of plague
on the streets, the ladies who will head
these squads will no doubt have a few
stormy scenes, as a great many of our
residents have asserted themselves
that they would not permit the inspec-
tion of their premises by another wom-
an, but in this it is our desire to ex-
plain to these people the exact mission
of these ladies whose meaning is so
good and who should be encouraged in
their work.
1t is not the duty nor the intention
of the sanitation squads to go and in
spect the apartments, nor is it necess-
ary with the intelligent class to even
inspect the premises. 1t is the object
of these women to explain in an intel
ligent way the rules that have been
laid out by the sanitation officials of
the United States Government and
which all law-abiding people will follow
to help make this city one of the clean
est in the country.
Some of our precinct leaders have
been informed that some of the women
and even some of the men will close
the doors on their faces when they
come there to make an inspection, but
the good ladies will only have this
trouble with the ignorant classes, who
are the ones that should be inspected
in preference to those who are willing
to listen to the instructions.

will not have the trouble they antici-
pate and that everyone will try and

TRIBUTE TO PROSPERITY
OF WEST RIVER BANK
MASON BLANCHE ANNOUNCES AN
OVER-THE-RIVER SALE
FRIDAY.
Automobiles to Meet Canal ST. Ferry
Ferry Fare Refunded.

4 striking tribute to the prosperity
and purchasing power of the west bank
of the river is furnished by the novel
sale that the Maison Blanche, popular
ly known as the Greatest Store
South" announces for Friday.
The event is announced as an over

friends and customers OF the Maison
Blanche on the west bank of the river,
and the great store announces that. 10
show their appreciation of this patron
age and as a courtesy to their guests
automobiles will meet the Canal street
ferry to convey their guests to and
from the store without charge and that
one round trip ferry fare will be re-
funded in tickets to every customer
from the west bank with any purchase
of any amount whatever.
1t is understood that, in order not to
delay the transaction of business nor
keep customers waiting, these ferry
tickets will not be delivered to the
customers personally, but will be en-
closed in all packages delivered by the
MaisOn Blanche on the west bank
To customers from Westwego and
Harvey, or any locality where there is
no delivery, ferry tickets will be deliy-
cred personally.
Every citizen from the west bank, so
the MaisOn Blanche announces. is their
specially invited guest Friday. July "A.
1t is of interest also to note, in proof
of the volume of west river bank trade,
that the MaisOn Blanche maintains the
same regular daily delivery service in
Algiers, McDonOghville, Gretna and
part of the Lower Coast. that they give
st. Charles avenue, or any of the most
fashionable districts of New Orleans.
The Maison Blanche management
states that the most elaborate prepara-
tions have been made for this sale and
that the list of bargains is long and
the saving that can be had quite re-
markable.
1t would seem that so striking and
novel an event as this. "Over-the- River
sale is the most unique and powerful
appeal ever made for the trade of the
west river bank, and it is convincing
proof of the prosperity of the people
and the whole section in whose honor
the Maison Blanche inaugurates the
event.
