BIRTHDAY DINNER
GIVEN IN HONOR
OF GEORGE LONG

The Press received a letter from
a correspondent today telling of a
party out in the Holtville- -Brawley
environs The account as written
has flavor of ingenious enthus-
iasm too good to spoil, so the story
follows in the original phraseology
of the correspondent:
Z" Birthday dinner at the George
Long ranch northwest of Holtville!
Long by name and long by nature.
Talk about eats, boy, we had 'em.
If there had of been one more dish
some one would of had to stand up
and hold it. Everyone ate till their
capacity was filled and just before
every one left to go home the host
ess served ice cream and water
melon.
"Those present for the occasion
was Mr.. and Mrs. A. Ingold from
Brawley, father and mother of the
hostess, Mr.. and Mrs Richard Mad
dux of Brawley, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ralph Ingold and baby Harley
from Imperial, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Mackie from Holtville, Miss Hazel
Amer and Sturgis Amerr, Howard
and Spencer Larson, and the host
and hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. George

more birthdays and that we will all
be with him. Mr.. Long received a

considerably laeerated ey the fact
that the audience famed out about

Extra conventional activities in

ival of lavish proportions. For the
floral parade the librarians were
entertained on the terraced lawn of
the Portland Public library where
chairs and tea tables had been ar

library building had been decorated
for the occasion by the Rose club
of Portland and the baskets of gor-

visits to book shops in San Francis
co and Los Angeles were other fea-
lures of Miss Ferris trip.

PASADENA. Calif., June 24.-The
mouse that JACK bIult, or even "a
great big house, has nothing on -
The moter playhouse constructed
furnished almost entirely
through the efforts or first graders
in the Brooklyn school here.
Anyone who thinks that "play-
ing house - and mama and
papa is passe with children OF
the year i3Zi should drop in any
school day and inspect the play
house made by pupils OF the Al
class from dis, arded piano box
And the children made the furnish
ings, too, including all the crocker-
ware.
Most of the furniture in the
playhouse is bright red in color.
But that is onIy natural because
the teacher, Miss Elsie Houghton,
allowed the pupils of her class to
develop their own color tastes.
The gutter coloring of the struc
ture is yellow and reveals some
thing new in artistic house paint
ing. The roof is black, and there
is Il red chimney made from a box.
Featured inside the house is one
big room, large enough for several
of the children to play in at one
time. But the best part of this
room is useful looking 1" fire
place, also made from box. The
room is papercd, and lace curtains,
stitched by chubby hands, adorn
the windows.
There are cushioned window
seats, cushioned chairs and the
mattress for the bed is ''home-
made.
The girls did most of the sewing
while the boys created the furni-
ture.
There are two big dolls which re-
side in the house at all times, but
it also houses fully dozen myth
ical families. 1t seems the boys
and girls never tire of playing
house and acting like papa and

What to Choose
For Summer Wear
BY HEDDA HOYT
Omitted Press Fashion Edito

/ ~
NEW YORK, June 24--Now that
warm summer is here let us consider
the question of sane summer dress.
ing.
Summer is the one season of the
year when one should be comfort
ably dressed. This year we can be
fashionable as well as comfortable
due to the return of cotton fabrics
for street and sports wear. Moth
ing is cooler than washable frocks,
cretonne or sheerer cottons. Frocks
of these materials in both one and
two piece stylings are being shown
In all the shops. Coats Of hand
blocked linen or cretonne are also
to be worn extensively this year.
So, one need not wear sticky silk
frocks to be fashionable
We have, already seen several
smart women wearing short.sleeved
frocks on Fifth avenue which
means that these will be generally
popular later on. We all know how
much more comfortable the short
sleeved frock is than the one with
long sleeves.
At-present many shops are show
ing sweaters and skirts for sports
wear. Anyone who has toddIed a
bout golf course under the sum-
mer sun knows that a wool sweater
is torture on a warm day. Little
hand-blocked linen jumpers and
white linen skirts are just as ap-
propriate for the links and tar
more comfortable.
When it comes to the question of
comfortable summer shoes one must
be especially careful to avoid mod
els that are a bit too small or high
heeled. While the strictly sports
type of shoe is inappropriate for
wear with summery trocks, one can
choose a happy medium heel in
dress or semi-dress model and, if
necessary, wear half size larger
shoe in summer than in winter
months. BY so doing one conforms
with fashion and has comfort too.
Everyone should have at least one
comfortable pair of shoes of a type
which can be worn either with
sports or semi -dreSS ffOckS Tor wear
on days when the ieet are extreme
ly tired.
Summer coats have assumed
great Importance this year. Each
frock may have its harmonizing
coat if one SO wishes. For street
wear just at/present one sees nu-
merous brlght-hued velvet or vel
veteen coats worn with matching
frocks, the favored colors in New
York beng tropical blue, purple or
violet shaues, dark blue ana off
shades of wine, red. For beach wear
there are the hand blocked linen
coats which are worn over white
linen or crepe dc chcnc frocks.
New, too, are the gay silk eoolie
