Palm Beach, March 15 P-The persistency of the ensemble suit is the talk of Palm Beach.

 The lobby is deeply carpeted, while birds in wicker cages sing ob- ligatoes and flowers ill artistic cons tainers shed fragrance. It Is g de- lightfri place in which to finger while waiting for the next show, and the group of debs fitted into the pie ture perfectly. The ensemble suit mentioned was of d fine quality of red plaid giHsham. with the popular side pleats in the skirt. These pleats. however. were cunningiy in serted on the bias. giving jaunty and individual charm to the short skirt.
 The ensemble had a white hand kerchief linen blouse. When the wearer threw back her coat, it could be seen that the blouse was charac- terized by stimulated bolero effect in folds of the same material. A small fiat bow was at the throat.
 The gingham jacket fell just be- low the hip line. The sleeves were long and tight, and down each side of the coat was a narrow bias band of the same material that gave ap- provai 10 the bias pleats in the skirt.

KINGS CONDITION

hausted condition in which King
Georges prolonged illness has left
him is presenting difficult prob
lem to his large staff of physi-
clans which they frankly acknowl-
edge in a bulletin signed by five
of them.
The bulletin recorded a rather
disturbed night but announced
some improvement in appetite and
that the Royal patient was hold
ing his own regarding his general
condition.
The public, although warned by
doctors that recovery must be
slow, show keen disappointment
whenever bulletins announcing the
Kings condition as unchanged"

The property purchased this
morning adjOins the hotel site
on the corner of Fremont and
Second streets, and consists of
two lots which belonged to
the Nevada State Farm Bureau
and to the Las Vegas Cham
ber of Commerce.
The price TO $500 a front foot
is the same as was paid for the
hotel site proper, and is the re-
suit of several days of dickering
between Wingfield and representa-
tives of the Farm Bureau and
Chamber of Commerce.

Stevens and Henderson, local
attorneys, are drawing up the deed
and abstract, and the money has
been paid into the care of w. R.
Bracken, who was instrumental in
interesting Mr.. Wingfield in Las

Cecil w. Creel, director of the

in the deal, has just returned
from Washington and announces
that he has been promised quar-

of the Chamber of Commerce,
states that that organization is
looking for a temporary location

some of the projected buildings,
but so far have been unable to
find anything which will fill their
needs. They may be forced to

The boom is on!
Las Vegas awakened this morn
ing to a full realization that the
eyes of the nation are upon us.
Every available bedroom in the
city has been thrown open Tor tne
comfort of the newcomer. Many,
however, are reported to have
slept in their automobiles and
from the appearance Of the rail-
road station one would presume
that every bed in the city was
occupied.
City Responds

even those who come IN, oc-
casionally, by foot, showed tnat

Las Vegas has always been noteo'

Unless something is done al
once to make room for the on
rush of tourists Las Vegas Will
find itself confronted with a more
serious condition than the PROB
lem appears at first thought.
Urgent Need
The immediate solution is, OF
course, the prompt response OF
residents to the clarion call OF the
Chamber Of Commerce for rooms.
1t must be stressed that the need
is urgent. Any dwelling of speak
able sanitation should be utilized
and cots, beds and bedding pro-
vided.
Until our new hotel is COM
pleted-which will be but very
short time, according to George
Wingfield, the builder-an Las

should communicate with the
