Although the event was charac-
terized by all the brilliance of
fashion. expensive decorations and
overdisplay of jewels were con-
Spicuously lacking as befitted

The tastefully gowned women
members made the motif of their
ornament semi-precious stones
and clever headdress combinations
of simple gold, silver. tortoise shell
and even mirrors The men fur

high hats to make themselves fit

AT the club during the supper
and dancing many debutantes
and lovely matronS presented a
colorful picture of fashions. Par
ticularly noticeable was the prev
alence of hair ornaments, some
thing which has been revived
after many scenes Of simple hair
dresses.
Mrs. William Garrigues, for
merly Miss Helen Danner of New
York, wore an exquisite ermine
wrap. with a splash of color pro-
vided by a bouquet of orchids, and
a beauanful clip of diamonds and

Mrs. Wayne Kinnaird, was attrac-
tive in apricot satin, with a jacket
trimmed in fur.
Stars seem to have been in the
ascendancy, but unusual and love-
ly was the coronet of tortoise
shell, worn by Mary Catherine
Thomas of Dallas, Tex. The
tortoise ornament matched her
brown tulle frock. Miss Thomas
is the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Cliff
ford Arrick.
Mrs. Arrick was dressed in a
jacket frock of an unusual white
fabric-a nubbly crepe. The jacket
had full elbow sleeves. Miss Jean

COSTUMES worn in the play
~ were of interest. Particular
ly lovely was the gown worn by
Mrs. Simmons, as Kate Bence, in
the last two acts. 1t was an after
noon frock printed in shades of
pink, with a flowing train.
In the first act she wore an en-
semble of French blue wool, with
a knee-length jacket which fas-
tened high at the throat. Her hat
in the first act was a brown felt
Alpine model, with a shallow
brim, and high crown. Mrs. Munk
wore an attractively- printed chif-
fon, in her role as Kate Bence's
sister. 1t was in navy blue and
white, reaching to the ankles, and
had full, short pleated sleeves.
Later in the evening at the sup
per, Miss Ruth Milliken wore a
very lovely dress in soft bright
shade of pink. The actors who
had taken part in the play, when
they arrived at the Columbia
Club, were ushered, with much
clapping, to long table on
raised dais at the side Of the
room, where they joined groups
for supper and dancing.
The colors worn were, for the
most part, the new of shades Of
green, plum, heliotrope and blue.
Mrs. Munk wore satin dress in
the enhancing off-color, that is
neither gray, green nor brown.
Satin predominated over other
fabrics. Heavy shiny satin was
cut on simple lines, leaving in
tricate cuts too the softer and
more faring fabrics.
AIRS. MALOTT WHITE, a true
lVl platinum blond, wore rich
turquoise satin. Her choice OF
color was provided by jade ear
rings.
Mrs. Herbert Woollen looked
like a picture out of the Renais-
sanca in a dress of an off-ivory
shade of satin with a parure Of
carnelians set in wrought gold.
Many corsages and shoulder
bouquets we're in evidence, but
among the conventional gardenias
and orchids was a newcomer in
the ranks of party flowers, parma
violets. Mrs. George Denny Sr.
wore them at the throat Of a
lovely black gown, and Mrs. Sim
mons, leading lady of "Kempy,"
wore violets on her shoulder.
Jewelry particularly was worthy
of note. The rule for winter
seems to call for either interesting
semi precious stones, real jewels or
nothing but a large pair Of rhine
stone earrings.
Among the gentlemen more
white ties than usual were to be
seen and top or opera hats we're
numerous. Lyman Ayres, just re-
turned from a world cruise was
present as we're Willis Adams Jr..
William Knowles and Henry
Johnston. Durr Freddy. we'll
known artist, was a guest at the
supper.
Austin Brown, president Of the
club. and Mrs. Brown, daughter
of Meredith Nicholson, E9re at a
table with a party Of friends.

Triangle Case
Has NeU Slant

The eternal triangle with
slightly different aspect than OBJ
tains in the majority of such cases
was brought up in court before
Justice of the Peace Mayfield this
morning. Tony Mattus was the de-
fendant in a complaint signed by
John Santos charging him with dis
turbing the peace and fighting.
Mattus was arraigned before
Judge Mayfield, pleaded not guilty
to the charge and had his trial set
for Friday morning at $50 clock.
According to the evidence pre-
sented to the court by Santos at
the hearing this morning, Mattus
who had been living on the for
mer's ranch near Meloland for some
time made a demand, yesterday,
that the complainant should i'm
mediately take Mattus and Santos
wife into Ell Centro as the lady was
to be his wife from then on. When
Santos demurred to such proceed
ings, the defendant is alleged to
have threatened bodily harm un-
less his wishes were complied with.
Santos made an excuse to enter
his house and got in touch with
the sheriff S office explaining the
situation as quickly as he could.
Deputies hurried out to the scene
of the trouble and brought Mattus
in and lodged him in the county
Jail over night.

AD VALOREM
TAX KILLED

SACRAMENTO, April 10. U.P)-
Hailed as a legislative pledge that
further burdensome taxes will not
be imposed on real property own
ers, the bill repeating the state S
right to enact an ad valorem tax
was approved by the assembly late
last night. The vote was 35 to %.
Under the existing law, the state
finance department and the state
controller must levy tax on all
property to wipe out deficit that
develops after adjournment of the
legislature.
The bill was strenuously opposed
by a group who held action should
be deferred until some solution is
reached of the existing financial
problem.
The measure was sponsored by
Assemblyman c. Ray Robinson,
Merced. He argued an ad valorem
tax would bring complete collapse
and pointed to county taxation de-
linquences varying between 25 and
60 per cent throughout the state.
The group of drastic tax meas
ures, calling for excise taxes on
many commodities and luxuries
we're killed in assembly revenue
and taxation committee last night.

MANzANO CASE:
SHOWED SPEED

With time being given the de-
fense either to withdraw or main
tain its secondary plea of not gull
ty by reason of insanity until to-
morrow morning, the trial of Gov
ino Manzano came to close at
$3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when the jury brought in its ver-
dict of guilty Of first degree muir
der with a recommendation that
life Imprisonment be imposed on
the defendant. Should this secon-
Diary plea be maintained by the de-
fense it will mean that alienists
must be appointed and the case
would then be tried on that point.
This trial was one of the brief
est murder trials ever held in I'M
perial county. From the moment
that bailiff Tom Adams called the
court to order on Monday morning
events moved quickly and with pre-
cision. The jury was empaneled
before noon, Monday, and by even
ing of the same day the state had
closed its case bringing up but
two chief witnesses, Sham Singh
one of the Hindus wounded during
the holdup-murder and Patalion
Rengor, an accomplice of Manz-
ano, now serving a life term in San
Quentin for his part in the crime.
Yesterday morning Manzano took
the stand in his own behalf. He
was the only witness for the de-
fo,,co hrolIuht I'm hV p NJ Movers
defense attorney. BY II o'clock
the defense had rested its case and
the arguments to the jury began.
Judge Thompson gave his in
structions to the jury just after the
noon recess and the jury retired
to consider the evidence at 1:30.
At 3.25 they notified the court that
they had reached their verdict.
Manzano was tried for the killing
of Bran Singh, his employer, dur
ing holdup near Calipatria on
November 10, 1882.
