most forcibly in the past week
" has been the realization that the
society women of Los Angeles are
never too busy to lend hand as well

for brides and travellers. there have
been three most elaborate charity

for each table, and a good round sum
was netted for the little fund. All or

helping hand as to pass their time IN
amusement.
