Attractive for Heavier Figure
BY ELLEN WORTH

The V-neckline and the touch of
white in the satin vestee, makes this
black crepe dress very easy to wear
Another point of interest is the scft
treatment of the waistline that does
things to your waist. And the front
panel skirt has such charming
lengthgiving quality for the fuller
figure.
This model can be carried out
most attractively in printed crepe
silk with the vestee and bows of
plain toning crepe. It's so modish
for mid-season and you can wear it
right through spring,
Why not have it-easily made and
inexpensive.
Style No. 1852 is designed for
sizes 36, 38, 10, AZ, A, As and a.
inches bust. Size 36 requires yards

But Dana did want, when the time
came, to suggest delicately 10 Scott
that when he had birthday lunch
con or any other kind of luncheon
with woman friend. he might let
her in on it. SO that she wouldn't
have that open-eyed, open-mouthed
stare when the news was sprung on
her
Deep down. some instinct of cau~
ton warned Dana that it would be
wiser to say nothing at all about
that luncheon with Paula. But the
temptation was too strong.
Its always best to talk things
out" Dana argued with herself.
Always best to talk things out"
She had no opportunity to men,
ton the subject until the next eve
ming. Scott was manfully aiding
in the kitchen, stacking dishes
that belonged on a high shelf,
when Dana said, Paula said you
had luncheon with her yesterday"
Yes. Mrs. MarSton, friend of
hers, called me in. I suspect Paula
recommended me to her"
And then you went to Paula'5
for luncheon"
That's right. That girl has the
most tenacious memory. She re-
membered it was my birthday and
when I came out she was all ready
with dozen arguments why
should come in Did I tell you they
are on the same floor? Paula and
Mrs Marston"
No" Dana replied. But Paula
did"
For the first time Scott sensed a
| current in the calm. He shot
look at Dana, who was busy wip-
ing the already spotless front of the
enameled stove.

luncheon with Paula did you?"
Scott asked in amazement.

me about it before Paula did" she
said.
There goes my old ball and
chain" Scott jeered.
Dana flushed. She had sounded
stuffy. Il really didn't mind your
having luncheon at Paula's, I
think" Dana went on, but it was
having her tell it at the party. as
| though she had achieved some
thing"
Scott laughed. That's like old
Paula. What do you mean, you
think you wouldn't mind?"
I'm just trying to be honest
about it, Dana answered. I'm not
sure I wouldn't mind if you made
a practice of it. I'm afraid l would,

Il suppose there would be as much

And then Dana regretted her i'm

Scott said, slowly Well for one
reason" and then stopped.
| Dana asked, her clear eyes on his,
What reason?"
Scott hesitated. A man didn't
disclose professional secrets-or
shouldn't-even to his wife. After
all, it was only an ugly suspicion
that he had about Paula. He
couldn't tell Dana he had accepted
her invitation, hoping to find out
something that would help him put
his finger on her trouble. 1t wouldn't
be decent to poison Dana's mind

"Oh, nothing" he said. carelessly.
Dana did not pursue the subject.
But a shadow, no bigger than

EAGLES LODGE
WILL ADD To
LOCAL HOME

Giving a practical demonstration
of its faith in Ell Centro as we'll as
in the merit of the Fraternal Order
of Eagles, El Centro lodge, No.
1853, one of the oldest fraternal or
ganizations in Imperial Valley, is
enlarging its home on Broadway by
the addition of "a by 80 feet
building to accommodate the pres
ent and future needs of the lodge.
The history of the lodge dates
back to the time when Ell Centre
was a struggling cluster of tents
and a few houses, the lodge being
organized in 1907. Members met in
many places until in 1929 the lodge
purchased the property at $50
Broadway, formerly the Broadway
Chop House and converted it into
a lodge room.
In recent years the lodge has
been laying up money for the pur-
pose of improving the property and
recently gave the contract to En-
cry Girard to make the necessary
renovation.
It is expected to have the new
building completed in a month,
providing the lodge with one of the
best fraternal buildings in Ell Cen
tro, entirely free from debt. The
building will be so arranged as to
provide one of the largest dance
floors in the city in order to care
for the regular lodge dances held
every two weeks. A hardwood floor
will be installed throughout, a new
front will be constructed and the
building painted inside and out.
Officers of the lodge are planning
to have a grand opening about
May 18 with a dinner dance for all
Eagles and their ladies. Following
the opening the lodge plans to in
stitute a membership drive so that
facilities of the lodge rooms will
be made available to more of Ell
Centro's S young men.
The lodge is in excellent condi-
ton, according to DR.. R. l.. Palmer,
past worthy president, and has a
large membership which is doing
splendid work among its own men,
bers and others who need assist
ance.
Officers and members are en-
thusiaStic over the building alter
ations and feel that the opening
of the renovated quarters will mark
the start of big expansion in
membership and Eagles activities.

COURT ASKED
FOR WRIT IN
DISTRICT CASE
Counsel For Bratton-Hatch
Take New Move To Enable
Them To Assume Office

Asking that the court issue its
writ and order directed to the
respondents ordering them imme-
diately to deliver up to the petit
TONERS all the books, papers, rec
ordS and equipment pertaining to
the offices of treasurer and assessor
collector of the irrigation districe
Lee Nuffer, attorney for E. N. d.
Hatch and Charles Bratton yester-
day afternoon filed a petition for a
writ of mandate in superior court
naming F. H. McIver and Miss
Winnie Barry as respondents.
The court was also asked to issue
an alternative writ ordering the re-
spondents to deliver up these rec
ords to the petitioners or show
cause why they should not do So.
The court set April 20 as the date
upon which this petition will be
heard.
AT the same time an amended
complaint was filed in favor of
Hatch and Bratton asking for the
delivery of these records. This is
in answer to the ruling handed
down by Judge B. F.. Warmer, San
Bernardino early this week in which
he sustained a demurrer presented
by Hugh MacKinnon, attorney for
Miss Barry and McIver and gave
petitioners 10 days within which to
amend their complaint.
In his ruling Judge Warmer stat
ed that neither in the petition nor
/ in the stipulation of facts did it ap-
pear that Hatch or Bratton were
actual incumbents of the offices
under dispute and for that reason
he sustained the respondents de-
murrer. In the amended petition it
is maintained that the petitioners
are actual incumbentS of the Of
fices for which they hold election
certificates.
1t is expected that Judge Warm
er may return here on April 90 to
preside at the hearing of these new
actions brought by Hatch and Brat
ton to secure possession of the Of
flee records.
