Little Needs

And the score Of little things"
real necessities for the college girl
and boy-but so often forgotten at
the last moment. A trip TO
Fischer's Drug Store, at Broadway
and Travis, proved helpful in col
lecting many items for Frances.
Their stocks are complete and their
service ENTHUSIASTICALLY, shopping
at Fischer's is a pleasure. Lovely
stationery, a clever enyO-tablet to fit
into her travelling bag, a fountain
pen, Eversharp pencil, films for her
kodak, toilet requisites, such as face
powder, bleaching cream, exquisite
French perfume-these were only a
few Of the real needs Frances found
at Fischer's. And her Dad-dear
that he stopped Off the buying
with a box Of chocolates.

Dainty Luncheon

/ A luncheon party-that was Elsie's
compliment to Frances on the eve of
her departure. 1t was held at the
Band Box Tea Shop, such a charm
ing place, upstairs, away from the
noise and confusion of the busy
street, cool, restful, secluded. The
entrance is at 229 East Houston
street.
Really, the atmosphere Of the party
was like ones own home, yet how
much easier to entertain at the Band
Box, with Mrs. Craighead to care for
every detail. Elsie could really enjoy
her guests, and we did have a lovely
time. The table was tastefully ar
ranged, the service was quiet, pleas
ing, and the food unsurpassed. Such
deliciousness would make any party
success-marvelously prepared
chicken and fresh vegetables, delec-
table cooling salad, real Band Box
caramel ice cream and dainty white
cake.
Indeed, the Band Box deserves it's
ever increasing popularity! In addiI
ton to luncheon and tea every day
except Sunday, they serve dinner
every evening in the week.

RestfuJ Ride

A bit tired with shopping, we took
a Tobin Hill street car out to Mar
gie's house for a little call. Riding
the trolley is such a pleasant way
Of getting places in San Antonio.
The service is excellent and the cars
are cool and comfortable. Settled in
the street car with never worry
about traffic, signals, parking, acct
dents, we reached 'Margie's corner"
really refreshed by this respite from
actual effort.
A great many people don't realize
the nerve strain they could save
themselves simply by riding the troll

wear these faded summer frocks than
10 sbop for new ones. Therefore pity
the school girls who go toiling through
the stores purchasing of shoes and
gloves and frocks 10 fill their ward
robe trunks.
Considering the simple middies that
one wears at school, packing the trunk
demands q great deal of preparation
The debutanteS too, must be having
a busy time of it. They must shop so
that they will be ready for the first
luncheon or dinner given at the open
ing of the season. But who are the
debutantes? 1t is as yet unsettled. But
then today most things, If one reads
the Events Of the World, are as yet
unsettled. One can only surmise. Now
as for the debutantes:
Perhaps Miss Mary Lupe, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. W. b.
Lupe will make her formal bow. Miss
Lupe has been a student Of Mount
Vernon Seminary for several years,
though she spent last winter at home.
Then there is Miss Olive Ellis,
the daughter Of Mrs. George Martin.
VIII she make her debut? Miss Ellis
also spent the last winter at home.
She spent last summer abroad with
her mother. They visited Miss Ellis
cousin, Mrs. Lawrence Meade in
Paris.
Percbance Miss Kitty West
Schreiner, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Schreiner, who with her
parents is touring Europe, will return
in time to be one of the debutantes.
Miss Adelaide Winerich, the daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Winerich
will probably make her debut, though
she is undecided as yet. Miss Winer-
ich was q student Of Baylor College
for two years. Last year she attended
National Park Seminary in Wash
ington, d. c.
1t is rumored that Miss Harriet
Sprague, the daughter of Mr.. William
r. SpTague will make her bow TO So
ciety. Miss Spragle is a former stu-
dent of the University of Texas, al
though last winter she too remained
at home
Miss Lille Beall Frost, the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Frost, it is
thought will be one Of the buds of the
season. Miss Frost viii leave soon for
Washington. d. c., with Miss Kath-
crime Houston TO take part in the
wedding of Miss Helen Richardson,
who has a wide circle of friends in
San Antonio having visited Miss Frost
several seasons ago.

view, Judge Burnell pointed out
that there is a remedy provided by
law whenever the people of q po-
litieaI subdivision feel that actions
of those elected to hold office are
questioned. That procedure, he
stated, might be penal prosecution
of those alleged to have violated
their trust, or in some cases, by re-
call proceedings.
1t appeared that the court was
ready to render q decision in the
case following this statement, but
Attorney Horton asked additional
time to present preeedents that
would justify his assertion that it
is proper to inquire into the motives
which prompted the directors to
change the division boundaries.
This morning Secretary McIver
testified that the question of re-
arranging the division boundaries
of the district was not a recent one
and had been considered by a pre-
vious board years ago.
It was expected that decision IN
the case would be reached late this
afternoon.
