etc., already having notified the

that it would be the largest affair
of it's kind ever before scheduled
in Oakland.

Lawrence Greater Shows
The Lawrence Greater Shows, Inc,
and their attractions will be the mid
way feature of the celebration, hav-
ing been engaged to return here after
their favorable reception last year.
This year the show has been en-
larged, having added two rides and
three shows. Among some of the at
fractions appearing will be Bill Coils
Aquacade, which was witnessed by
thousands of people at the New York
Worlds Fair last year. Coll is a long
distance swimming champion and of"
ferS a show with man-eating alliga-
tors. He enters a straight jacket that
is tied securely with heavy straps and
then dives into the portable tank that
is infested with these monsters. 1t is
said an alligator cannot be trained to
act at the call of a master, as they are
brainless and so Coll must watch every
time he enters the tank. In past per-
fOrmances the swimmer has had some
close calls and carries marks on his
body proving that these monsters are
not tanned.
Clarence Overman's Monkey Circus,
trained; Koko, the wild man from the
jungle who devours live animals; the
Casino Beautiful, with Miss New York
of 1888, are included in the attractions.
On the midway will be found the new
Ridee'O, the Ferris wheel, merry-go-
round, the modern whip and chair
plane. In Kiddieland will be found the
new kiddie airplane.
The feature will be the death defy
ing Violetta and Rocks, two aerial
artists who will thrill the audience.
Miss Violetta whirls around at six
revolutions second standing on her
head at a height of 10 feet. She is
the only girl working upside down at
this height without the aid of a net.
A fireworks display will take place
on the carnival grounds at HOO P.
NJ. on July 4th.
The carnival grounds are located on
the old Glades Hotel lot, the same
place as the year previous.

I know that my readers dislike
indefinite answers. but many times
no other than lit all depends" is
possible. For example, how many
guests must one have in order to
set the table in the dining room
and ask deputy hostesses TO pour =
More than thirty is the conven-
tional answer II tea II to be poured
at one end Of the table and choco-
late or coffee at the other.
But perhaps the living room is
so small that a dozen people will
fill IL, and tea in the dining room
is more comfortable. Or twenty
people may seem few in a huge
living room and the hostess may
think it more friendly to sit at her
own table placed in front of the
center of long sofa, and pour tea
herself. "A long sofa is most prac-
tical when many guests are ex-
pected. because il allows two to
sit beside her and behind the table,
in addition to those in the circle
beyond.)
When the hostess pours for a

Thought for Wedding Organist
Dear Mrs. Post: l should like to
know what type Of dress is proper
to wear when playing the wedding
music at large house wedding.
Since the bridal procession passes
right by the organ on the way to
the improvised altar, I'm afraid of
looking underpressed. But / have
an even worse fear of looking over
dressed. The guests will undoubt-
eddy be wearing street length
afternoon dresses as the wedding |
is at noon, and since after the we'd
ding is over I shall become just
one of the guests, perhaps l would
look out of place If l wore a long |
dress.
Answer: If you like a particular
dress that has long skirt, wear
IL by all means-unless 1t could |
get In the way OF the pedals.
Whether its skirt be long or short |
would not matter at the reception
but II should be plain tailored |
type Of dress, and your hat not too
eccentric! BY this have in mind |
the misshapen derricks and falling
towers of Pisa. A floral wreath
(even on the eyebrow is not in
the eccentric class, and would in
fact be very pretty-if becoming.
Proper Marking of Letter Paper
Dear Mrs. Post: I received this
letter paper, which you will notice
is marked with my full name with
title, and address. Mother thinks
in the case of an unmarried girl |
the title should have been left off |
because, as mother says, it is
taken for granted that Helen
Blank is Miss, and the title is
therefore superfluous.
Answer: No, I'm sorry to have
to disagree with your mother but
name and address used as
letterhead follows the rule for Wis
iting or business cards; and titles
are always included on personal
cards.

Old Clothes Offer
Chance TO Dress Up

Whatever you near and cad TO
the contrary, It just isn't true that,
come Easter, practically every
woman in the country will dash
out and buy complete new ward

The ma jority of us will content
ourselves with one new outfit and
the hope that q dress or two will
be forthcoming shortly after Eas-
ter. Meanwhile, wen try to figure
out what to do with leftovers
from last summer and spring.
It's a great mistake. Of course,
10 wait until spring actually ar
rivers before getting last summers
clothes out of the attic and jugg-
ling the budget to allow for neces-
sary alterations. dye jobs and the
like.
HERE'S HOW ON
A SMALL BUDGET

The black silk suit you were too
weary of in August may have

It's no sin 10 wear dress sea-

The truly chic woman whose
