NO NEED FOR
GEARS RECEIVER

Charles S. Desky, in an answer to
the suit for foreclosure of the Progress
block, brought by the German Savings
and Loan Society, denies that there
was any necessity or great emergency
which required the appointment of a
receiver named by Judge Gear. It is
answered, further, that the receiver
was appointed ex parte, and without
notice to defendants. There is a state
ment also that the security is amply
adequate to satisfy the claim of s55.-
600, there being affidavits of real estate
men TO show that the Progress block
would bring from $4,000 to S10O 900 at
a forced sale.

GIRLS FROM
WELLESLEY
Assembled to Meet
Miss Catherine
Conan.

The home of Mrs. J. A. Hopper was
thronged Saturday evening by guests
who came to meet the Wellesley girls
of the city and their distinguished
sor of Economics at Wellesley. The
residence was charmingly trimmed with
jasmine vines trailing over the win
dows, with hundreds of delicate bamboo
branches and banks of maiden hair
ferns in pots in the drawing room al
come where the receiving party stood,
and in the library where the marble
of statuettes cleaned through the ex-
quisite fern fronds. A blue silk banner
with wellesley inscribed thereon in
white letters, hung over the archway
and beside the pillar at the left rose a
tall kahili of tufted bamboo. All the
decorations were marked by fine sim
plicity and were arranged by Mr.. A.
r. Gurrey, Jr.
At the lanai door the guests We're re-
ceived by Mr.. w. L. Hopper Mr.. Wells
Peterson and Mr.. Willard Brown and
ushered to the retiring rooms by Mrs.
James Hopper, Mrs. Peterson and Mrs.
Brown. Later the guests drifted down
to a Wellesley group composed of Mrs.
Mabel Wing Castle, Miss Hopper, Miss
Conan, Mrs. Mary Dillingham; Frear,
Miss Myra Jacobus and Miss Caroline
May Pierce, all the Wellesley women
in town, except Miss Caroline Snow
who was unable to be present. The
ladies were becomingly attired, Miss
Conan being in a beautiful gown of
cream pima.
During the introductions the company
was greatly astonished by hearing the
Wellesley yell given Justify:
'Tra la la la, Ira la la la, Ira Ia la Ia,
la la la,
Wel-les-ley-W Wellesley"
Three times it was repeated, ending
with a shout, Miss Coman!' in quite
the college vogue. The Kamehameha
Glee Club was present, and, upon a re-
quest for the Wellesley cheer, Stanley
Livingston, the leader, read the music
and words from an embroidered sofa
pillow of Miss Hopper's and with the
assistance of one of the Wallesleyians
previously drilled the boys in the gar
den- The cheer was not given in its
usual sky-scraping soprano, but IN a
deep basso, but as a wellesley yell, .
it had its effect. The Kamehameha
boys sang several times during the re-
ception, much to the delight of the
guest of honor.
The reception was quite informal and
"reminiscences of college life were rife.
Future Wellesley girls served fruit
punch, ice cream and cake and then the
good byes were said closing a joyous
reunion.

How to avoid Colds

The grip season is again here, and
on all sides are heard people sneezing,
wheeling. coughing, or talking about
friends and relatives sick with pneu-

what we call colds. the ordinary sensa-

some disease that explains their chilli

Imperfect digestion may have i'm

ITO avoid taking cold a man must
take care of his body and encourage

food, plenty of exercise, frequent bath
ing and ventilation of the skin, and
avoidance of sweating clothes will put
the average man where he can defy any

We all know that. So far as possible
we should remedy it.

"The body needs an air bath at least
