jvorthy of praise for the good service they are doing
every day.
" The one hundred and eight on horseback and the
two hundred and twenty-five on foot are out in aty
weathers, quick to see the movements of every kind
of vehicle and alert to adjust every condition that
arises to facilitate the travel of foot passengers as
well as the saving of time of cars and carriages and
all kinds of wagons on Wheels.
The woman in the car and the man on foot must
exercise patience when held up at certain hours f
the morning and evening by the overrush of
automobiles or of people hurrying to work or to their
homes.
It is not the fault of the officers if strangers
engage their attention, in inquiries. City people and
personal friends of officers should not be the cause of
detentions for which the traffic men are blamed.
Mayor Smith and his chiefs deserve credit for the
valuable service of protection from accidents.
Some day the slow and heavy traffic will be
diverted to special streets to take the pressure off
overcrowded thoroughfares during the congested
hours of the day.

Paris gown3 and gowns in
spired by Paris; rich, quict-hued
suits; fur-trimmed wraps and
all of a splendor and luxurious
nes3 unknown while the war
lasted.
The gowns especially are
nothing short of enchanting in
color and fabric and at the
samo time they are the most
wearable, most practical things
imaginable. A great many are
beaded most marvelously; sev
eral are of black sequins. New
ones unpacked for today include
a copy of a Callot with a fishtail
train and an Empire waist line,
altogether a rather mysterious
and Sphinx-like affair. Another
is a sapphire-blue satin, with
draperies of strung black beads;
a black satin sash is looped high
at the side.
Another black sequin gown is
cut to the waist in the back. A
copy of a Paris model is of
ciel-blue chiffon over silvercloth
just warmed with pink; the
beading on this i3 exquisite. A
copy of a lovely Lanvin design
is in cool, pale shades of green,
with green and gold ribbon tied
in a stiff little girdle. On a
black velvet dinner gown the
only color is a rosette of bead-
work, with loops of strung beads
in brown and rose tones.
There are scores of delightful
new things to be seen on the
figures in the cases.

Exhibition of Dahlias
Tomorrow, Friday and Saturday in University Hall
(Eighth Floor, Market)
This is one of the most splendid collections of dahlias
ever seen in this city. The blooms have been grown ex
pressly for John Wanamaker on the Peacock Dahlia
Farms; and the greatest dahlia expert of the United
States,
Mr. L. K. Peacock
will give a talk each day
at 2:30 P. M.
describing them. Colored pictures of the various vari
eties will be shown on the screen during the talk, and
after it Mr. Peacock will be glad to answer any questions
you choose to ask him concerning dahlias and dahlia
growing.
The recent Government restrictions upon the impor
tation of foreign nursery stock mean a serious scarcity
of plants the coming season, and flower-lovers conse
quently are taking a peculiar interest in home-grown
plants. For this same reason the Peacocks have opened
an experimental station at Fort Myers, Florida, where
they are working for the further development of dahlias,
and are making a special point of growing them for seed.
Orders for tubers and seeds of the varieties shown
will be taken throughout the day, until the Store closes,
the tubers to be delivered late in May, 1920.
Please note that orders may be paid or charged, but
nothing will be sent G. O. D.
(Eighth Floor, Market)
The dahlia was discovered
in Mexico, sent to Spain late
in the 18th century and
named for Dr. Dahl, a
Swedish botanist, who had
done much for its improve
ment. In 1S00 seeds and
tubers were sent to France
and England, and it was
hoped the roots could be eaten
like potatoes, but their flavor
was against them.
It is a far cry from the sin
gle little dahlia of those early
times to the queenly and
magnificent flowers to be seen
