By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
DENVER, Colo, April 2S.-Mrs. Lea
nora Pierce, IS years DID, and Miss
Gretna Fullmer, %, were arrested In
this city on the charge of having OBJ
tanned nearly $4,000 from Mrs. Harriet
A. Grove 67 years of age and blind, by
false pretenses.
Mrs. Grove, who is the widow of a
former prominent business man of
Dillon, Mont, was introduced to Mrs.
Pierce about a year ago by a
spiritualist.
Mrs. Pierce, it is said, claimed she
could restore Mrs. Crowe's sight by
spiritualistic treatments, and on three
occasions secured from her $4,000 in fees
for her services.
Miss Fullmer was introduced as an
assistant to Mrs. Pierce, and they
would talk with Mrs. Grove for hours
at a time, inducing her to believe she
was recovering her eyesight when there
was really no improvement in condi-
tions
Recently Mrs. Groves suspicion be-
came aroused and she consulted her at
torney who caused the arrest of Mrs.
Pierce and Miss Fullmer today.

LITTLE ENTERTAINMENT PRO-
vDED FOR ENLISTED MEN
Jacks from the Fleet Overstay Shore
Leave In Order to Enjoy
Good Time In Los
Angeles
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SANTA BARBARA, April 2s.-There
were no fixed features on Santa Bar
bara's entertainment program in honor
of the Atlantic batleship fleet today, the
officers and men being largely allowed
to pursue their own ways. Many of
the men went to Los Angeles to spend
the day and will overstay their leaves,
which expire at / a. IN.
The amusements offered the blue
jackets in Santa Barbara are naturally
rather meager owing to the size of the
city, and consist largely of flying
horses, shooting galleries and a large
variety of catchpenny affairs brought
here for the occasion.
Dancing on the canvas covered as
phalt on the Ocean boulevard each
evening is the only picturesque feature
of the bluejackets entertainment.
They seem to enjoy 1t hugely, however.
and when available supply of eligible
girls gives out they dance with each
other. 1t is no easy task to provide
partners for a thousand or more dane
ing sailor men.
Party for Officers
For the OFFICERS today there was a
garden party attended by personal in
vitation in the afternoon and this
evening q dance at the Country club.
A number of luncheons and tea parties
on the battleships were given to the
junior officers.
At intervals today the fleet was en-
tirely lost to view in fog banks, which
blew in from the southwark. All morn
ing long the fog bells on the sixteen
ships we're kept going at lively rate.
During the afternoon the sun shone for
several hours through the mist, but
toward evening the heavy banks low
cred over the ships again.
The officers of the fleet report many
men as overstaying their liberty, due
to the large number that have gone
to Los Angeles instead of remaining
in Santa Barbara. The sailors had
rare good time in Los Angeles and
count the three and one-half hour
Journey from here to that city as moth
ing when in search of amusement

In Charge Of Patrol
Lieutenant Commander W. Carey
Cole, navigating officer of the Kansas,
left tonight for San Francisco, whittier
he has been ordered to take command
of the naval patrols to be established
in that city during the stay of the
fleet in that city. This police duty Is
one of extreme Importance. and Com
mander Cole was selected for the post
by personal direction of Admiral
Thomas. He is an>officer of ability and
excellent judgment. The system OF
landing armed patrols from each of
the ships of the Atlantic fleet at every
port visited has proved a most sue
cessful means of handling any delin--
duents among the men. Their respect
for the authority of their own officers
and shipmates is supreme. Com
mander Cole is sent in advance of the
fleets coming to San Francisco to map
out districts and plan the extensive
work of the patrols there.
The, fleet leaves here Thursday morn
ing. A "dance of the flowers" in honor
of the officers is the feature of tomor-
rows program.

Porch Parties.

These August days demand strictly
outdoor functions, if entertainments
given In this manner may be called by
that formal name. Instead of having
the customary method Of conducting
a fish party by guessing the names
written on slips Of paper, a hostess
did this at recent party: There was
a large rug on the piazza supposed to
represent the sea. 1t was covered
with stiff paper fish folded slightly
through the middle. There was a brass
ring in the head and the name of the
fsh was written underneath. Each
guest was given a small hook and line,
and each one was given the name of
fish. There was Miss Cod" Mr..
Shark" etc. There was a time limit,
and each person could retain only the
f1sh bearing his or her name: all 9TH
ers had to be returned to the water
In good condition.
There was the jolliest kind of a
time. This is fine scheme for chill
dren. and globe of gold fish might be
one prize.
The following game is not exactly
new. for there have been flower con-
tests galore. but this list is an unusual
ly good one. Here are the questions
and answers:
l. Tell bird to get up In the
morning.
z. What flower is most precise?
3. Tell a little boy to cry. using his
name.
4. A sweet. and another name for
patch.
5. A rich man.
q. The Scotch word for inability"
Z. A means of transportation and
kind of people.
8. A bird and an aid to rider.
3. What might certain domestic
animal do in winter?
10. A wild animal and part of a

IL. a word of farewell
IL. A Christmas decoration and
German word.
Il. What foreign nobleman like

Ii. A flower with commercial

To Keep the Ecru Tone.

The ecru tone that is SO desirable
In net blouses and curtains just now
must not be confounded with dirt.
While this tint is more serviceable
than white, washing Is soon neces-
sary.
After washing bleaching Is newt
able unless means are taken to pre-
serve the creaminess. This can be
done in several ways The easiest Is
to rinse the net in water to which
saffron has been added until the de-
sired shade is obtained.
Dip a small piece of net or muslin
into the tawny water as a test before
putting in the bigger articles, or the
work of washing may have to be done
over again.
Hay water is used to preserve the
creamy tone. The hay is boiled and
left to cool In fresh water. Strain 1t
before using. Soak the lace or net
thoroughly to remove most Of the dirt
