Each side of the two ball rooms

The magnificent Elks Home was
the scene last night of one of the
most brilliant social functions ever
staged in South Florida when the
grand opening Ball was held. This
was an event long looked forward to
and it was estimated that over 800
persons were in attendance.
The entire building was thrown
open to the guests, and the mass OF
palms, ferns, and cut flowers, which
were lavishly used on all the floors,
made an ideal setting for the hun
dreds of beautifully gowned women
and their escorts, the majority OF
whom were in full evening dress.
The receiving line, composed OF
the Directors of the Lodge and their
wives. greeted the guests at the front
door of the building, the Directors on
one side of the entrance and the la
dies on the other. Those receiving
were Mr.. and Mrs. w. l.. King, Mr.
and Mrs. M. F. Hetherington, Mr.
and Mrs. o. M. Eaton, Mr.. anC
Mrs. F. D. Bryant and Mr. and Mrs
T. B. O'Steen.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash IL with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoOs
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoauut oil (which is pure and en-
tirely gresseless), is much better than
the most. expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this cant possibly iniure the hair.
Simply mOisten your hair with
water and rub Il in. One or two tea
spoonfulS viii make an abundance OF
rich. creamy latheT. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle OF dust. dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hah- dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves 1t fine and
silky. bright. fluffy. and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. Il Is very
cheap. and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family FOR
