INTERE STING EVENTS IN THE LOCAL SOCIAL WORLD
By MRS. FRANK NOBLE

aside articles which they no longer can use.
 Another pleasing event of the week was donation from the Elks. It seems little white sock has been conspicuously placed in the lodge rooms and into it is being dropped nickels and quarters and dimes which go to make up the dollars turned over to the Red Cross. A very fine con- tribution it was, too.
 The patterns for the garments soon to be made for the Refugees of Bel gium and France are here and work will soon be started on them. Come next Tuesday and help.
 Women in war work! How the idea thrills when We fully realize it.! But to the American woman it means Red Cross work, a meatless day, corn mullins, perhaps a liberty bond--but stop a moment and think what war work means to French woman! Six thousand French women are en- ployed in munition factories! A day nursery and hospital is attached to each factory and here the mothers may see their little ones at intervals of ten minutes each during the work ing day of ten hours each. These ten hours given over to handling the white hot metal and high explosives! They are clad mostly in ragged black for most of them are in mourning for the men who have already impeded the Hun. The experts among these women work without pause for food or rest during an eight hour peroid. Women in War Work! Let American women think on this!

 Pleasant Evening at Cards.

upon his assistants, chief among whom are the United States Marines. As usual, the boys who are First to Fight" were also first to aid this worthy cause, and did their bit toward insuring the success of the Rodeo.
 Enlistments are still accepted for this attractive branch of the service. Recruiting offices are located in Los Angeles, San Diego, Bakersfield and Phoenix. It is well, however, to first write for a booklet concerning the Marine Corps before appearing for examination. These booklets are mailed free of charge.

A Smart Example of the Top-Coat.

A Smart Example of the Top-C0at. the lining, which may be as gorgeous as you please. Wool embroideries and stitchings are used with effect either in the same shades as the costume or in contrasting colors. The Chinese, Japanese and East Indian influence is plainly felt in the newest designs and colorings. Sometimes they are fairly riots of colors, almost breath taking in their beauty.
 Passing Pads.
 The day is almost passed, thanks to the need of the hour for economy and conservation of material, when we felt called upon to put on a summer hat in January or FebrSary. It was ridiculous custom, carried to an ex- treme, originating perhaps with Palm Beach and the real need of straw hats and summery clothes down there. As long as the days are bitterly cold and snow is on the ground, let us stick to our winter hats. Another passing fad seems to be that of colored boots with cloth tops of contrasting shades. The black shoe with white or gray top, and the deep mahogany with tan upper, are still considered in good taste, though there is marked re- turn of the all-black boot. White spats with patent leather pumps are appropriate only for afternoon or in formal evening wear, and the all- white shoe is fast being consigned to it's proper time of year, summer.
 The Useful Top Coat.
 Top-coats are so very practical that they have a place of their own in the wardrobe of the thoughtful woman. They may be worn with different dresses and also with the separate skirt and waist. The one illustrated here has raglan sleeves and wide belt. The material is wool mixture.

Herman Taylor has corfalled ten high
