short skirted shipshape little frocks for
the deck. but one dresses for dinner and

embroidered anchors and various nautical
touches in apparel Is past.
For the younger folk a sailor or Peter
Thompson suit Of white or dark blue may
be piquant and satisfactory on u yacht
deck or in a catboat or skif.
Several white serge costumes designed
primarily for yachting wear and made by
popular New York tailor have had narrow
borders Of broadcloth in contrasting color
with a line Of soutaches in the same color
heading the cloth and with little extra
braiding on the loose short coat. This
does not sound attractive, but the two
models which we saw-one with bright
dark blue and one with n light blue for
relieving color-were exceedingly chic and
pretty.

There are, however. charming cape

these are in plain dark blue, trimmed in

high collars and scarf ties and are all In

AID MEN HOPE TO BRING

tary of Topeka Organization
Speak at Clubs Weekly
Luncheon

At the weekly luncheon of the Los
Angeles Ad club held at the Hollen-
beck cafe yesterday, James r. H.
Wagner, manager of the Cudahy
ranch, spoke on 1.-THE Modern Adver-
tising Man" In the course of his argu-
ment Mr.. Wagner poured some hot shot
into that class of merchant who spend
thousands upon thousands of dollars to
get people into the stores and then,
through bad merchandising methods,
practically kick them out. Mr.. Wag-
ner advised the local advertising man
to endeavor to educate these merchants
so that the advertising will be faith
fully backed up in the stores.
Another interesting talk was made
by II. A. Heath, secretary of the Tope-
ka Advertising club and manager or
the Kansas Farmer, prominent publ
cation in the middle west. Mr. Heath
is a great admirer of Los Angeles. He
announces his intention of going back
to Kansas City to the convention of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of Amer
lea and boosting hard to get the next
convention of that body to meet in
Los Angeles. While this convention
would not be the biggest ever held in
the city, it would be of enormous bene-
fit. every advertising man being a
natural born booster
The Los Angeles Ad club viii use
every endeavor to bring this convention
to the city, and plans are now being
Ia d to accomplish that end.

Society

n NE of the important weddings OF
the midsummer was that of Mrs.
Juliette Graham Bixby, charm-
ing society matron, and Lieutenant
Commander Ashley H. Robertson, U. S.
S. Tennessee, which was solemnized at
4:S0 yesterday afternoon at the home
of the bride in st. James park. Chap
lain Dickins of the Tennessee read the
marriage office of the Episcopal ritual
in the presence Of half a hundred rela-
tives and friends.
The long drawing room was simply
decorated for the occasion with Gus
tered pink roses, the ceremony taking
place under a canopy of asparagus fern
erected above the windows In the aleove
at the end of the room, while bay trees
had place at the sides.
The bride was attended by Miss Echo
Allen, daughter of Judge and Mrs. NJ
7. Allen, as maid of honor, Lieut.. W.
w. Galbraith standing as best man.
while Lieut.. H. N. Jenson, r. F. Gross
and S. b. Mckinney were groomsmen.
The scene was a brilliant one, to
which the uniforms of the officers con-
tributed the luster of gold braid and
buttons. The bride was charming in a
directoire gown of delicate pink chiffon
over pink satin with garniture OF
Mechlln lace, with which was worn a
pink Gainsborough hat with big plume
to match. Her bouquet was shower
of Cecil Bruner roses. Miss Allen wore
a beautiful lingerie gown of Irish
crochet and vallenciennes and carried
an arm bouquet of long stemmed pink
roses.
Arend played the Lohengrin Bridal
Chorus for the entrance of the bridal
party, while during the service THE
Swan of Saint-Saens was softly and
exquisitely rendered on the violin by
Harold B. Wrenn of Chicago, a per-
sonal friend of Commander and Mrs.
Robertson.
In the dining room, where pink roses
banked sideboard and tables, and a
centerpiece of lilies of the valley graced
the large table, light refreshments were
served.
Commander and Mrs. Robertson left
at once for their wedding trip of a
month, which will mean leisurely trip
north to Puget sound before boarding
the Tennessee. For her going away
gown the bride chose handsome gray
cloth. with which was worn big coral
picture hat.
