AND PROVED A MOST ENJOY

The annual U. c.. T. ball has passed
into history, And in the minds of
those who were present at the X. c.
hall last night, there is no doubt that
the affair was n Of the most sue
cessful and one of the most enjoyable
dances ever given by this popular or
ganlzation Of knights OF the grip. b.
f. Ashelman headed the reception
committee, assisted by we'll Known
people Of the city and of the order.
There was an unusually large crowd
preseut. so many, in fact, that each
gentleman was given either a blue or
a yellow ribbon on entering, and the
iwearers of the two colors danced al
,ternately, otherwise there would nave
been no room at all on the floor, large
as it Is. .
Under the efficient management OF
II. I. Lewis, who was in charge OF the
main committee, not a detail was oV-
,erlooked to make everything complete,
and the evening the most pleasant
Ipossible. The chairmen and members
Eof the other committees worked 10y
ally to assist and the success of the
big undertaking is due TO the COmbin-
ed and loyal efforts of a lodge which
has gained distinction by its ability to
work together.
The men Of the order came attired

From the Indianapolis News: Back
yard?
Mercy, no! Of course not.
The back yard of Indianapolis is
past n passing. Where once the
winter ashes were dumped, and dis
carded tin cans were strewn in discon-
solate disarray, where the grass in
summer was neglected and the soap
suds from Mondays wash hid a blue
white scum on barren and sun-baked
ground. now f1ourishes a thriving gar
den and, in the shade of toll growing
Towering shrubs and low ground
Towering trees, with flowers abloom
and green grass shimmering in the
light, 4 o'clock tea is served in a per-
COLA retreat.
The back yard has vanished. What
remains Of it is compressed into the
neat, clean, practical service yard.
And. usually, the visitors who inspect
the garden is innocent Of it's presence.
A screen of shrubs, Or, as often, of
evergreen, effective in winter as we'll
as in summer, shuts it away from
view. Hhere, when OCCASION demands,
hangs the wash to dry, here the rugs
are cleaned and here ither work of
the domestic routine is done.
Ten years ago, back yards were nu-
merous and gardens scarce; today the
reverse is true. Ornamental planting
was praCticed, Of course, but only in a
desultory and haphazard fashion. None
of the fundamental principles of land
scape gardening-as essential for a
small city lot as for a great country
estate-was observed. Shrubs were
planted because they were shrubs and
not with any idea Of their adaptable
