mer season will be held next We'd

newly selected manager of the En-

no home. Whitelaw expects that
the dinners this year will be more
popular than ever.
The Junior breakfast on Wednes-

LAST CHINA BOY ABANDONS
TOMBSTONE TO ITS SAD FATE

kee, retired cook who awaits the
bid of his ancestors to Join them
by way of the famous Boot Hill
graveyard, where many of his coun-
trymen lie buried.
I, Perhaps it is only superstition,
but the two remaining Chinese are
certain that the ghosts of the once
thriving silver mining town have
called down their wrath on Wong
Dee Hong for deserting beloved
Tombstone. All Lum is convinced
the souls of Yee Yee, who so years
ago opened his "six fingered" laun-
dry there, has gathered about him
in one of the gullies winding into
the adjacent hills, his fellow-resi-
dents OF Boot Hill for the purpose
of wrecking vengeance upon Wong
Dee Hong for his desertion of the
former Gay Paree of the waste
lands.
! Seated immobile and staring at
the deserted buildings which once
teemed with life, the two aged
4 Chinese visualize the far distant
days when Ed Schieffelin, founder
of the bonzana mining town, swag-
gered through the streets, six guns
hanging the alert position, white
teeth cleaning through his toss
ing, henna-hued beard and his wild
hair sprawling over his ample
shoulders.
[ On a side street which formed n
IJunetion with the main stage high
way to Bisbee to the south and Tue
son to the north, there existed in
that day large Chinatown. Every
where appeared signs designating
business establishments of Chinese
merchants, laundrymen, and pur-
? veyors of victuals. Old All Lum
himself was a partner of All Sing in
lthe famous Can Can restaurant in
which Eddie Foy often rendered
lnpromptu piano recitals and Lolita
Crabtree accommodated with popu-
lar songs of the day. And there
were pistol duels there too.
All Lum can recall evenings
when Il turn of the wheel changed
the savings of a lifetime for one
miners poke" to another's-Ah
Luniy was no mean gambler himself.
Sadly, he might recall h e
Ohlhese Masonic lodge annual ban
quets IN which prominent celestials
from the countryside attend. As
his pale eyes survey the almost
abandoned street, they rest for the
moment on what was once the
Chinese headquarters, which, when
torn down, revealed labyrinth of
tunnels in which opium smoking
utensils were found, and which
gave evidence of use as a depot in
the under-g ground railroad by which
Orientals were smuggled into the
country.
And now another leaf turns over
toward <&Ais for Tombstone. A
mining towSAwith no Chinese laun-
drymarn to scrub hickory shirts and
calico dresses! All Lum and Ouong
Gee kee sadly scrutinize the desc
late scene before them-the rem
nant of what once was the glory of
Old Arizona.

son is no exception. Even IN
knitted suits we find details of
foreign inspiration.
Furthermore, the fabric as well
as the blouse and trimming OF
one of the suits We are sketching
today came from France. It
is from Rodier, who is more
famous perhaps than any liv-
ing man for his fine woolen
fabrics, many of them loomed
by hand. This suit Is OF black
Jersey with a sweater-blouse Of
Rodier fabric in grey and
white. This soft woolen fabric
also lines the scarf Of the jack
ct. The sweater blouse has long
sleeves. The suit is copied from
a model by Jane Regny who
is famous for her sports
clothes.
The sleeves show the Euro
pean influence in the other
suit sketched. They are the
same shape as the sleeves worn
by the European peasants with
which you are familiar in
blouses and dresses. This suit
is of a knitted fabric in a beau
tiful shade of Hunters green.
The skirt is pleated. The
blouse has a soft jabot and is
in a lighter shade Of green.
It is sleeveless. Neither of
these suits are expensive
though they are extremely ur1-
usual and attractive. They
are both from a washington

There's a definite trend In
shoes-as you can see from
this presentation Of the six
leading types for fall-for one
outstanding or classic" type
of shoe to be established.
And this fall it means this.
That the more formal daytime
shoe. whether it be pump,
one-strap or oxford. is gener'
ally a one-leather shoe. "a shoe
of calf, suede, or kid.
And that the slightly less for
NAL daytime shoe is generally Q

Fidac Leader
IS Welfare
Worker
Mrs. Robert WaIbridge, Former
Salvation Army Lass, to
Preside at Meeting

T A Salvation Army lass
during the war, Mrs. Robert
Walbridge, of Peterborough,
N. H., will preside at the
meeting of the Fidac (Fed-
Grafton Interalliee des An
ciens Combattants) Auxil-
iary here this month. The
auxiliary is meeting in con-
nection with the eleventh.
annual convention of the
Fidac, Of which it is the sis
ter organization. The con-
vention is scheduled to open
on September 1S and will
bring to Washington a host
of notable women from this
country and abroad. Ten
nations, including the United
States, will be represented.
Mrs. Walbridge is the Amer
ican vice president of the aux
iliary and past national presl-
dent of the organization. she
was elected vice president at
the national convention OF the
American Legion Auxiliary .lp
Louisville, Ky, last fall. She
served as national president in
1927 and 1928, having been
elected to that office at the con-
yention in Paris in 1927.
During the war Mrs. Wal
bridge served with the Amerl-
can force in France as a Sal
vation Army worker. With her
sister she established .huts on
the front lines serving on four
fronts with a number of differ
ent combat divisions. She spent
256 days under enemy fire, was
twice gassed and twice won a
personal citation in army orders.
She was recommended Tor the
Distinguished Service Cross, an
honor which would have re-
quired a specia. act Of Congress
to accord.
Adventures q
One of her thrilling adven-
lures was narrow escape with
her sister from capture. by the
German army during the attack
on Seicheprey in 1918. Mrs. Wal.
bridge was operating hut just
behind the town, and was
caught under the enemy bar
rage. She refused to leave her
post until a runner burst into
the hut shouting that the Ger
man infantry were entering the
town. With her sister she hur-
riedly fled, and was able to
reach safety in time to escape
capture.
In the Argonne offensive
Mrs. Walbridge was the first
welfare worker at the front,
serving hot coffee and the
famous Galvation Army dough
nuts to the exhausted troops
and helping with the wounded.
The narrowest escape of her
experience was just before the
Arnistice at Thiacourt where
the American troops were mass
ing for drive on the city of
Metz. A shell struck the house
in which she was working and
exploded in the adjoining room.
She was, however, uninjured
and managed to reach place
of comparative safety before the
next bombardment.
Mrs. Walbridge was born a
Salvation Army girl. Her
father is Commissioner William
Mcintyre, a widely known Saliva
tion Army leader. She gradu-
ated from Mount Holyoke in
1913. After the war she mar
ried. Robert Walbridge, of
Petersborough, N. H., an officer
of the Twenty-Sixth Division,
whom she met in France.
