 "A special feature of the conference is the luncheon to be held in the ball. room of the Tutwiler tomorrow" Mrs. Hornady said, "and, as we often hear it said that women do their best talk ing and some of their best work over the teacups,' so we found in the pre- vious drives that the luncheons which are social to some extent, proved the best medium of circulating propaganda and formulating plans and discussing them in regard to the drives. At the luncheon tomorrow under the able dt rection Of Mrs Henry l.. Badham, who has been chosen chairman for that occasion, most interesting programme has been arranged.

Mrs Richardson was charm ing in white satin and Mrs. Crawford made a striking picture as sine stood silhoUetted against the little curtained doorway in her black evening gown.
 Across the way was Mrs Edmund Glenny, making her first formal bow as one of New Orleans young matrons, with her mother, Mrs. PicHsley and Edith Glenny Mra. Edmund Glenny's white panne velvet cape with it's deep rose velvet collar was one of the most stunning of the evening.
 Mrs. Brittin and Mrs. Henry Beer. two of the grande danes, were in the lower proscenium."
