clared Miss Mildred Abrahamson, who is in charge of that branch. In fact, it has functioned as every thing except a matrimonial bureau. It has had many visitors from tourists, 387 registering in the 30 days it has been open. Many of them were prominent business men from the States and Canada. A number have praised the progress siveness of the community for main taining such a service. It has been an employment bureau, and has helped mothers find nurses for children.
 The bureau, Miss Abrahamson said, is achieving its main object in fine shape, that is, advertising Juneau and Alaska to the visitors from other sections of the country.

PAT AND VIRGINIA OFFER
SUGGESTIONS TO HOUSEWIFE

"What an attractive table, - said
Pat to one of the girls as the seven
guests invited to Virginia s luncheon
were ushered into the dining room of
the Brown house.
The long table of dark polished
wood did make a pretty picture with
its centerpicce of feathcry white
lilac gracefully arranged in q traas-
parent bowl of green Mexican glass
and the pairs of white pottery candle
sticks edged with green matching
the tall green candles, which were
placed, one pair towards the head,
and the other, towards the foot Of
the table.
Silver bowls of green and white
mints, lace doilies upon which were
place plates of white Wedgewood
having border with raised floral
design, and upon which were placed
the green sherbert glasses and plates
which matched the goblets, complet-
cd the appointments, giving a cool
and refreshing look to the table.
At each plate was dainty corsage
bouquet of creamy roses and maiden
hair fern to which was attached the
place card.
"Do you suppose that Virginia is
announcing an engagement today!
whispered one of the guests to Pat.
"I've seen her lot lately with that
attractive Jack Anderson.'
"Let s see if we can find any
thing in the bouquets, answered
Pat, surreptitiouslv giving hers
hasty but thorough examination to
no avail.
Following the fruit cocktail of
iced Malaga grapes and mint, the
guests were served a course consist
ing of sweetbread mousse, potatoes
with butter and parsley sauce, tiny
string beans, and hot buttered bis
cults arranged on plates of pale
green Chinese ware, followed by the
green and spicy gelatine salad on
plates of clear crystal with whicy
thin toasted crackers were served.
Tiny salad forks with jade green
handles accompanied this course, and
last of all came the dessert, pistaehio
ice cream, and tiny squares of angel
food cake.
After dinner coffee in cups of
various colors and makes was served
in the living room and then bridge
was in order.
"These are the easiest covers l
ever saw to put on bridge table, y
said another of the girls. The covers
were squares of green silk, much
like heavy square scarf, and pieces
of elastic were attached to each cor
ner so that the covers could be
quickly and easily snapped over the
table.
"Well. / don I believe anything
is going to happen, grumbled Pat
as she sat down to the bridge table.

Look Well Week
To Be Observed

Look Well Week. is the next
"week" which the public is ask
ed to observe, starting June and
ending June 10.
Contrary to the impression one
might receive, it is not sponsored
by the doctors and does not neces-
sarily apply to a persons health,
but to his appearance. The BARRIERS
are the boys behind the movement,
and, say they, it is just as impor-
tant for man to make a good per
sonal appearance as it is for him to
keep in good health. Few will argue
the matter.
''lu the hands of the barber rests
the personal appearance of the
population, says the master bar
hers' trade journal. Sometimes
our patrons forget this. 1t is our
privilege and our duty, as their
caretakers, to remind them of the
advantages of keeping their cxter-
iors in tune with their higher per-
Sonalities.
We are going to start the chill
dren of the nation on the right road
in life. Before they become older
and set in slipshod ways. we are
going to instruct them in the value

SHOPPING
!: UNDER WAY.

: A check-up of local stores shows
that Christmas shopping is in
full swing in Washington, Edward
D. Shaw, of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, said
today.
= Shaw says that this corresponds
with reports received from larger
cities throughout the country,
showing that people all over the
Nation are becoming converted to
the gospel of Shop Early-Mail
Early" which has been stressed
for some years past.
That early shopping campaigns
have not met with more success
in the past, Shaw attributes to
the fact that merchants were
often not prepared to meet the
demands of early shoppers, fail
ing to have their Christmas stock
Of goods on display in advance of
the season.
This year, however, Shaw
states, Washington merchants are
fully prepared 20 meet the de-
mands of the early Christmas
shoppers and the campaign for
early shopping which is sponsored
by the Merchants and Manufact-
urers .-Ssociation is meeting with
success.
