L ROSSE evidently thinks
nothing of distances, because we
are told that when she wants a
permanent wave, she leaves
Paris, sails for New York and

In the cause of sweet charity
the Children's Lunch Fund

her usual graciousness. She was
wearing a severely cut frock of
lustrous black velvet with gold
chain and ornament as the only
note of color.
JEWELS CAUSE DELAY
Several hundred thousand
dollars worth of jewels from
New York caused quite a delay
in the pageant. There were so
many "Pinkerton detectives"

none of the precious stones
went astray that the models

speaker at the women's dinner of
