10000 Club Has
Pleasant Session

ASccCiuAJ iptNtiiiB vi Vic Ci
Thousand Club at Masonic hall was
one of great enjoyment to all present.
The hall was made very attractive in
its bright Christmas colorings. A
large green covered table, decorated
with Christmas bells, tinsel, holly ber-
ries and pepper boughs was further
adorned by a Christmas tree as a
centerpiece.
Mrs. Dan v. Noland, yite presi-
dent, presided, and conveyed the greet
ings of the season from the presi-
dent, Mrs. Fawcett, who was unavoid-
ably detained at home.
Mrs. R. B. vaile presented the plan
of giving Christmas dinner to the
homeless men, of the streets. The
idea originated in the mind of a gem
erous hearted business man, who prom
ised to give fivesdollars, if such plan
could be brought to success. A large
majority of those present, volunteered
to help, Mrs. s. M. Embury gracious
ly offering the use of her beautiful
home for such purpose. AS the dis
cussion of ways and means pro-
gressed, many difficulties presented
themselves, and it was finally determ-
ined that if the business men decided
to promote such plan, furnishing
what is needed in the way of food,
dishes, ETC., the ladies' of the Ten
Thousand Club will accept Mrs. EN-
bury's kind offer and serve a dinner
at her home. If the plan proves feas-
ible, further announcement will be
made through the columns of the I'M
perial Valley Press.
Report was made of family, i'll
and in need of the necessities of life.
Mrs. McKusick, chairman of une phil
anthropic committee will be glad to
receive donations of food and clothes
for them.
The program began with the read
ing of Van Dykes "First Christmas
Tree" by Mrs. Winthrop Pier. Miss
Inez Collier and Mrs. Phil. D. Swing,
accompanied at the piano by Mrs.
Wachtel, gave vocal numbers that
gave much enjoyment. The Christmas
pie was then opened, and the amaz-
ing variety of gifts which it yielded
brought forth much merriment.
The surprise of the afternoon came
with the serving of delicious English
plum pudding, made by Mrs. j. R.
Garren. Everyone declared it the
"very best she had ever eaten" and
Mrs. Garren was besieged with re-
quests of "tell me how it's made" 1t
was served with coffee and served to
emphasize the joy of the blessed
Christmas tide
Announcement was made of the club
party to be given at the home of Mrs.
Dan V. holland on Saturday after
noon, December 20, at 2 o'clock. Cards
and needlework will be the diversion
offered and the gathering is open to
all club members and their friends up
on payment of twenty-five cents. The
sum, thus obtained, to be added to the
building fund.
The first Thursday in January being
New Years day it was decided to
postpone the meetings of the club from
the first and third Thursdays to the
second and fourth.

British commanders at Tampico, have
sent hurry-up calls for American and
British cruisers. The Chester and

Hospital Ship
Rushes to Mexico
(By United Press Associations)

(By United Press Associations)
Washington, Dec. 19-The hospital
ship Solace has been ordered from
Brooklyn navy yard to Vera Cruz to
join Admiral Fletcher's squadron
there. 1t is equipped to carry thous-
and sick. and wounded.
The decision to send the Solace to
Mexico is result of the precarious
situation in Mexico City, where the
government has barred exodus, likely
on account of the approach of Zap
atista rebels, who encamped last night
in the southern suburbs. 1t is feared
Zapata's entry of the capital, if eff
fected, will cause danger to Ameri-
cans. The cabinet discussed this at
a meeting today. The secretaries
agreed, however, that in the expected
clash if Americans suffer, other for
eigners will also.
Bryan reported to the cabinet today
on Villas behavior in Chihuahua. 1t
is understood that he said the con-
ditions there are improving.
A determined run is in progress to-
day on the Bank of London and Mex
leo, the largest local financial in
stitution here. Money conditions are
worse than at any time in Mexico's re-
cent history. The biggest banks in the
official report on file with the gov
ernment, show holdings 10 to 20 per
cent lower than the legal requirements.

PARISIENNES' WEAR
PRETTY SLIPS
Under the GduziGSt of New
BIOuSeS

| New York, January 6.-Word comes
from Paris that Parisiennes are wear
ing the prettiest slips beneath the
gauzy bodices and bIouses that shelter
under their fur coats, making these of
the daintiest embroideries and real
laces, and threading them through with
ribbons that form piquant bows coyly
poised where one does not expect to
find them.
And sometimes it is black velvet,
and not ribbon, that plays the part Of
the dainty finish
1t suits some figures to have the en-
broidery or laces running horizontally
round the figure, whilst to others the
vertical line from the shoulder to the
waist proves more becoming. Such a
slip is a cache-Corset as well, and
serves a double purpose. She who has
the necessary time and patience may
plan such a slip. Anyone who keeps q
lace box will possess little bits Of
hand embroidery and old lace that will
go with immense effect to the making
of such attractive preliminaries to
the blouses and the bodices that are
so much net and ninon, and only par
tally solid if that
We have not all time to undertake
the making of such thing, but the
planning of it may be possible to many
and there is generally some one who
can do the patient sewing part of the
scheme. So often those who can ex-
ecvute with the utmost dexterity lack
the Imagination to create and they
who can create lack the patience TO
carry out. However, perhaps this is as
it should be, and part Of the law of
compensation.

YALE'S MARRIAGE EDICT
Dr. HadIey Says Tt is Violation of
Discipline For Student to Wed
When He Can't Support a Wife.

New Haven, Jan. 11-When may a
student take unto himself a bride and
continue his college course? This is
the question inspired by the expulsion
of Lefty Flynn from Yale because
he married Miss Rena Leary, of the
Winter Garden company, New York.
The answer comes from DR.. Arthur 7.
Had1ey, president of Yale, who says
that marriages of undergraduates are
dealt with differently by the faculties
of different colleges. He added:
1.-THE presumption is against the
fact that an undergraduate can sup
port his wife unless he has asked the
consent of his father If he has mar
ried without his fathers leave it is a
grave offence against academic disci-
pline and against law"
This, DR.. Hadley said applied to
the case of the famous Yale athlete.

is proving to be q master hand at
very helpful type. There are no eE-

rather than help in such SERVICES and
his messages are clean cut and direct

he appeals for the best in man to have
a chance. The meetings will cont nue.
through the coming week.
