Jersey society has about 45O members.
There area735 dentists in the State, and
125 of these are advertising men, ex-
cluded from membership. Hence there
are $40 eligible for membership, and
of this number the society, has all but

reorganization to bring the dentists OF

half an hours time the reorganization

Miss Eleanor Lee, daughter of a me-

Diego. Jackies from the men-of-war
lying in the harbor were there. But
the society girls didn't know them. In
vain the sailor boys sought partners.
All they got for their gallantry were
snubs and shrugs.
All the time one of the prettiest and
daintiest girls in the ballroom was
watching. She was just a bit of a girl

eyes and a jolly. friendly smile. She
saw the flush of embarrassment creep
over the face and way down into the
throat of n s~ailor-collared lad as a
naughty beauty turned from him.
Straight across the floor she went to
him..

And she did. And with as many
others of the sea-fighters as she had
numbers or her card. That was in the
summer of 1910. The Mexican revoiu-
ton filed San Diego's harbor with war
ships last spring. The boys from the

night at Coronado. They invited her
to inspect their ship as guest of honor.

other ships heard of it. She sam TO

to be the darling of the fleet.
About that time the news that there
was a contest on for queen of the
ground breaking festival reached the
ships. Someone shouted e"Queen
Eleanor and the cheers went from
ship to ship. The sailors made a whirl-
wind of the contest. They pooled and
squandered their wages in the cam
paign. The Sailor Queen was the
slogan. They fought every inch Of
ground with their richer but far less
enthusiastic opponents.
