standing one on the calendar of

tance, Mrs. Stella M. Atwood, the
election of Officers, and the observ-
ance of the annual reciprocity day.
Under the direction of Mrs. Don
Wells, chairman of the decorating
committee, assisted by Mesdames
G. Willard Nance, Frank +. Ander-
son and Clyde Larey, a most ap-
propriato setting for an Indian pro-
gram was created by the use of

with desert wild flowers and eff

Mrs. Will S. Fawcett, who was
in charge of the program, was in

With n few we'll chosen remarks,
Mrs. Fawcc,t then presented the
speaker of the afternoon, Mrs. At

Indians Story Told
Corroborating the statement made
by Mrs. Fawcett in her intfoduc-
ton. to the effect that Mrs. Atwood
declined practically all of the many
invitations which she receives to
speak before women's clubs, Mrs.
Atwood said that it was the fasci
nation of the desert and her reali-
zation of the fact that the people
of Imperial Valley were making
history which caused her to come.
Then in colorful series of sket-
ches which held her audience abb
sorbed, Mrs. Atwood created word
picture upon word picture, each de-
tail adding to the wonderful story
she told of the first "real Ameri-
cans. -
Pimas, Navajos,. and iPueblos,
starving and neglected heirs TO the
wealthiest estate in the world seem
ed to appear at Mrs. Atwood s call
and present their plea for justice
from their white brothers. The ro-
nance OF their picturesque art and
music, and of thair religion which
is best expressed by the Indian say,
ing "think no evil thought and
you do no evil decd were all
clearly presented. ..>

which would have robbed the In
dams Of New Mexico of their rich
lands, marked one of the most thrill
ing tales ever told before the local
club.
Absorbed Attention
And the fact that Mrs. Atwood
has so completely lost sight Of her
own personality in the great work
IN which she is absorbed lends Il
compelling power to her words
which is indescribable. Women who
had never seen Mrs. Atwood be-
fore, and who were not familiar
with the work she was doing, fell
under the spell of her unassuming
personality, Which was powerful
enough to stir up one of the bitter
est Legislative battles ever waged in
Washington, and carry it to victo-
ly for the side she represented.
Closing her address with n series
of descriptions of s}alwart braves
who call her "Dear Mother' the
speaker ended :er talk and long
applause attested the impression she
had made. Expressing the apprecia-
tion of every member of the Wo-
man S Ten Thousand Club to Mrs.
Fawcett for bringing such a speaker
to this city, Mrs. Jacobs thanked
Mrs. Fawcett in behalf of the or
ganization for the privilege she had
secured for them.
AS yesterday was the annual re-
eiprocity day, Mrs. Jacobs greeted
the, many visiting club members
from other cities, and expressed the
pleasure of the club at being able
to have them as guests.

Buttons and More Buttons Is
Latest Fad of Dame Fashion,

LONDON, Mar. 21.--Enough but

button hole. That s the keynote OF
fashion in London this spring For
the ladies-that is.
Buttons, buttons, who hasn t got
buttons. All God s chillun up and
down the fashionable footpath along
Rotten Row and on Piecadilly-
got buttons. Buttons in double rows
from Adam s apple to instep; but
tons in front of them, buttons be-
hind them.
But the buttons don t fasten any
thing. They re just for ornamental
ton for the well dressed woman of
spring, 1924. Despite the effect of
athletiA5 land exercises upon the
English woman's ankles, skirts are
to be shorter this year.
Hats are to be larger.
There is decided tendency to
forsake heavy English velvets and
tweeds in favor of wide range of
new weaves thus far unnamed.
Many shades of French textiles, on
which English dressmakers stocked
up during the debacle of the franc,
are on display.
A "lizard' shade of srbdued
green, woven into Batik effect,
is q favorite. Pale sage green ri
walls it for popularity.
Immediately tailored, soft, sand
colored lightweight tweeds of ultra
simple cut are seen in Hyde Park
these spring mornings.
Black is the predominatc shade
for the new large hats.
Reville, court dress maker, told
the United Press:
"Spring styles will include long
