Bring your own sugar" is fast
becoming the standard accompani-
ment to invitations as many host
eSses, now that sugar rationing is
III full swing, include that sug-
geStion with their invitations
However, even if we have to
skimp on sugar, it's fun, and its
good for our morale, to see some
thing of our friends, inviting them

since after all, we can't be serious
all the time
And it was good fun at the Ten
| Thousand club the other night to
/ be able to relax for an hour of
gaiety and absurdity as Beatrice
Edmonds reviewed so delightfully."-
the amusing plays of the current
season. Moreover it was a pleasure
to watch her for she was as charm
ing as could be in her dusty pink
crepe evening gown with lace trim
med bodice accented by a corSage
of deep rose -colored flowers. Miss
Edmonds has also solved the prob
lem of an evening wrap for the
person who travels great deal and
VINO has to appear frequently IN
formal evening attire. She has a
smart cape in brown which packs
so much more easily than a coat,
and with it she carries a handsome
70, f.,,, ,.l,
for evening use and large enough
to carry all the indispensable COM
pactS, lip Sucks, etc.
Mrs. Ben Hulse, the clubs new
president, was attractive in a white
eyelet frock with corsage of pink
carnations and gardenias. Mrs. Don
G. PauluS, the outgoing president,
also wore white with blue belt
and all the directors, both for the
old and new boards, looked their
prettiest in their colorful spring
gowns. Mrs William Pata, new eve
ming division chairman had a cum
ming hat, one of those smart little
hats that sit on the back of your
head, and most becoming
The last few days have made all
of us think longingly of crisp cool
tubbable cottons, and the silks of
cooler days are put away tempor-
arily in our closets.
Among the new clothes, busy
Mrs w. j. Clements has one of the
| ifc oannrIinn tn
the latest government regulations,
no cuffs, no pockets, no revers to
use up materials, but nevertheless
so well cut and made with SuCS
ingenious detail that it is smart
as can be.
Mrs. Donna Holloway has a blue
print frock, so cool looking and so
becoming with its soft white frilly
collar. Mrs. Ben Herring also has
a pretty blue frock with trapunto
work. accented by violetS; Mrs Don
c. Bitter looks charming in yell
low print frock as refreshing as
spring itself, as is Mrs. Frederick
Powers HealdS white sport dress
ornamenteu with gay peasant-type
embroidery in bright woods. Recent
L. Mrs. Minor O. SimmS was seen in
one of the SmarteSt of prints, dark

While the year is over officially
fol- the Ten Thousand club, that
group still has something to look
forward to in the bridge luncheon
to be given on Thursday June IL,
an affair which combines fun and
patriotism since all the proceeds

committee are busy with plans fo'
a real party which will include a
full course luncheon, to be served
at 1890 noon, and a pleasant af-
ternoon of contract.
This party is open to all women
who would enjoy attending, and
reservations should be made with
Mrs. Paul A. jenkins, 885-M. And
don't forget, the club house has
efficient coolers, so that not mat
ter how hot the day, the building
will be cool

support of the Ell Centro canteen
for service men is Miss Blanche

to the canteen ant recently the
boys and girls brought down huge
bouquets of flowers which certainly
added to the attractiveness of the
room.
