WHAT'S WHAT
by HELEN DECTE

In the matter of making acquaintances,
summer hotel customs are but little
more formal than steamship etiquette
Sometimes there Is a more or less offi.
cial attache to whom a man with the
proper credentials may apply II he
wishes to be introduced to any especial
person or group Of persons. This official
will know whether or not the acqualnt-
ance-seeker will be acceptable to the
acquaintance sought Sometimes a
woman is mistress Of ceremonies and
abundance of tact, since, OF course, there
are always individuals and families who
do not desire to extend their circle OF
acquaintanCes.
In smaller hotels guests who meet
every day at the same table soon fall
into conversation. Card parties and
dances also serve to promote soclability.
A man who wishes to dance can always
ask the fioor-manager or the mistress OF
ceremonies TO present him to a dancing
partner. ~

The hundreds of pounds of fish that is being donated to the Associat- ed Charities by the state game war den's department is blessing to the many half starved families pouring into Phoenix from the mining dis tricts, according to Miss Gilchrist, su- perintendent of the charities.
 Yesterday, through the oo-opera- tion of Joe V. Prochaska, game war den, 150 pounds was left at head quarters for distribution. Not one pound had to be delivered, In view of the many calls for aid that were made directly to Miss Gilchrist This is the second time within a few days that MT. Prochaska has directed fish ing parties for public benefit
 Miss Gilchrist said that as many as 65, the majority of which are Mex jeans, appeal to the Associated Char ities daily. The closing down of the mines in the Ray-Hayden district has brought in scores of destitute fam lilies who have found it impossible to find work in town. The cotton sit uation has been cleared up by the transportation of the cotton pick CTS to Mexico, but conditions have not improved, due to the influx oi miners, it is said.
