which came to the congress in Washing
ton held a meeting here last Monday night
and selected Mrs. Mary E. Stilson regent

Then the meeting of the delegation in
Washington was announced to be legal
and their officers were declared to be
duly elected.

tied and the California officers con-
firmed, the congress took a recess until

girl frankly states her complaint against

There are many reasons as 10 why
some girls do not receive invitations.
Some apply TO one girl, some to another
But one reason that applies to many
and which may be very much OF n sur

Of dress; not Of fashionable or expensive
dress. but Of simple, neat, attractive
dress.
II may not be just that dress plays so
important a part in life, but that is
neither here nor there. It does. Dress
do make "A difference, Davy," said Bob
