The waning season urges us to renewed efforts to clear out the balance of the ladies’ wash suits and skirts. We've sold an immense number of them at profitable prices — so why shouldn’t we be willing to let the remainder go at a sacrifice— especially when the time is drawing near for the arrival of the fall stock? We haven’t gone about it in any half-hearted manner, either—but have cut way below cost. The entire balance of ladies’ high-grade novelty wash suits, in Eton and blazer styles, con- sisting of piques, white ducks, crashes, linens, etc—which have sold for $5—choice now for $1.40 each. The “entire balance of the striped grass linen and plain linen crash skirts—which are made generously full and with wide hems—have been selling at $3.50—choice now for 99c. each.

Bramball containing sugges- tions as to the improvement of Rock Croek Park. Attention is invited to the report of ex-Commissioner Rossell in response to a Senate resolution calling for an estimat of the cost of erching the valley and ailing up the land. This report, becavse of the showing of cost to the taxpayers, prac- Ucaliy discouraged the scheme and nothing has been heard of it since. Meanwhile an intercepting sewer has been built and the improvement could not be undertaken with- out much cost. After discussing the report of Commis- sioner Rosselli, Mr. Bramhall say: “From the District liae te Woodley Lane bridge a park is already established along the valley of Rock creek, and in the plot of the first section of the extension of highways the said park is further extended down the creek to the line of Q street. A careful examination of the situation must inevitably lead to the conclusion tnat the said park should and must be further ex- tended along the banks of Rock creek to Pennsylvania avenue, if not to the river. In suck extension (as suggested to me by Capt. Fiebeger) the boundaries thereof to be established should follow, as far as practicable, the lines of the streets now es- tablished, that is to say: Beginning on ihe east line at the corner of Q and 24th streets and in a straight line thence to the corner of 224 and P streets; thence south along 22d street to N street; thence west along N street to 25th street; thence south along 25th street about 300 feet; thence in a straight line to the corner of 26th and M Streets, and thence south along 26th street to Pennsylvania avenue. “It is true that since the publication of said report there has been a large amount of filling along the banks of the creck, but, from a recent examination, I do aot think that such filling will interfere with the Flans for terracing the banks of the creek and the construction of the proper drives, cycle paths and walks, except, possibly, at one or two points, from which the sur- plus earth .ould be easily removed. “The advantage of this plan of creating a park of the present vacant and desolate space between the populated regions on either side of the creek, over that of filling up and extending the streets over it, is that in the one case the beautiful park would render the vicinity thereof the most healthful and desirable location for private residences, while on the other none but the cheapest tenements, to be 9%coupied by the least desirable class of our pcpulation, would be constructed upon the area of fill ed ground, and would prove a damage rather than a benefit to the adjacent prop- erty. I venture the assertion that the con- tinuation of the Rock Creek Park system to Pennsylvania avenue would result in such an increase of values to the private property to the easi and to the wes red as to create an increased revenue from the taxes thereon sufficient to cover the en- fi ost of the lard. “The estimated cost under condemnation of the land along Rock creek from P street to Pernsylvania avenue, 1,000,000 square feet, by Capt. Fiebeger v.20 in Janu 1sv3, when values were largely Speculative and at their highest; whereas, at the present time, in all probability, a0 jury of condemnation would estimate its value at more than $400.00 I ask of you a carful study of the eforesaid report, and examination of t Present condition of the region and its relation to the sanitation and property rights of that part of the city, and that you mzy reach an early determination of the plan or policy to be pursued in relation thereto, to the end that in your forthcom- ing annual report you may make such recommendation to Congress as the situa- Birthday Anniversary Music and Games and Good Things te Eat—Personal Notes of Teterest. Master Lenox Lohr ceiebrated his sixth birthday by a gathering of forty little friends at his Lome, 759 11th street south- east. Piano selections were finely rendered by Mr. Edward Wright, Mrs. Barnett and Bessie Kane. Mr. J. White amused the little folks with the phonograph, depicting the piccolo, violin, piano and voice. A “grab bag” added to the amusements and gave each little one a souvenir of the party. Those present were Misses Mabel and Vir- gie Waltmeyer, Clemence, Jeanne and Hen- riette Martin, Bessie Kane, Ethel Langley, Viola Barnett, Viola and Rose Gates, Eva Stewart, Cenia Hutchinson, Lizzie and Olive Padgette, Rena Offutt, Katie and May Sanderson, Emma Mitchel, Ethel Co- hill, Henribell Williams, Gertio and Susie Speiden, Helen and Eisie King, Josie Stein- berg and Masters Edward Wright, Charzie Bright, Earl 2nd Elwood Sanderson, Irv- ing Offutt, Wilfred Cords, George and ay- mond Col.ill, Charlie Stewart, Ivan Bee’ Albert and Bertram Hutchinson. St. Andrew's P. E. Church was the scene of a pretty wedding just after noon today, the principals in which were Mr. William H. Babcock, a prominent patent attorney of this city,and Mrs. Gertrude Lee Mahood of Richmond, Va. Mrs. Mahood has been employed in’ the patent office for many years, and is one of the most popular ladies in that department. She comes of aristocratic lineage, and is an active mem- ber of the Society of the Daughters of the Revolution. For family reasons today’s ceremony was conducted with as little for- mality as possible. Although no cards had been issued, there was a good attendance of the friends of the contracting parties. The bridal party proceeded to the chancel under the inspiring strains of Mendels- sohn’s famous march. The bride Was most becomingly attired in a stylish costume of blue-gray covert cloth, with hat to match, and she carried a lovely bunch of Ameri- can beauty roses. She walked with her brother, Mr. Charles Lee of the Southern Railroad Company, who gave her in mar- riage. They were escorted down the aisle by the ushers, Messrs. Charles F. Chis- hoim of New York, Lee G. Lamkin of Mis- sissippi, Fountain Mahood of Virginia and Alfred J. Clarke of this city. They were met at the chancel rail by the groom and the officiating clergyman, Rev. Dr. Gibson, assistant rector of St. Andrew's. Imme- diately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Babcock started off for a tour of the At- 1aMitic seaside resorts. On their return they will make their home at Mr. Babcock’s country place, on the Ridge road above Georgetown. A special dispatch to the Journal, Lewis- ton, Me., from Washington says: “The .e- cret marriage of Sidney H. Perham, grand- son of ex-Governor Perham of Maine, is announced here. ‘The ceremony was per- formed on May 29 last at Rockville, Md., a place some twenty miles from Washing- ton, and has been concealed from the fam- fly until this time.
