est this morning in regard to the

causing so much trouble between
residents of Waterville and Fairfield,

fore signing can call the Chamber of

FROM THE HOLLYWOOD
EXPRESS,

The most beautiful dinner dance
ever given in Hollywood was that OF
last night at the home Of Miss Paula
Perrier In honor OF Mr.. Melville Sar-
toris. who Is en- route to the Orient
ON a mysterious mission, in which he
hopes to find long lost Chinese god.
There we're only twelve Of the
cinema's most brilliant woman stars,
with their escorts, hidden TO the din
ner. but about two hundred and fifty
OF Miss Perrier's friends attended the
dance afterward. On account of the
distinguished travellers known quest
in the Orient. all the decorations were
Chinese in character. some OF the
most famous Chinese savants and
artists in Los Angeles being brought
in TO make the affair perfectly au-
thentic.
Tho scene was like fairyland. The
women wore the costumes OF Chinese
ladies, and the men were dressed az
mandarins. The dress worn by Miss
Perrier was given her by Mr. Sar.
toris, who obtained It from one OF the
princes household on his last visit
TO China.

out OF place in Hollywood. according

guests.
Miss Pcrrler, however, said that as
the favors had not been matched up
at all. probably the entire scheme Of
things had been shattered.
Among the guests at the dinner,
although he did not stay for the
dancing party was Mr.. Richard
