nounced it foremost of the prettiest
parties ever given at the Country
club.
' "It seemed like old dinner-dance
nights again," said one charming ma
tron. "The women were so prettily
gowned and wore such lovely new
hats! Then it was quite cool, so they
. all stayed indoors, which made the
club house more gay than usual,"
Another thing which contributed to
making the affair so enjoyable was
the fact that most of the women have
been so deeply immersed in Red
Cross and war relief work there has
' been little or no entertaining all sum
mer on any lavish scale.
" So many of the guests, too, had
been away for the summer and had
; just returned and were meeting all
their old friends for the first time
since their departure.
The charming visitor for whom the
Georges entertained, Miss Irene
Grosse of Pasadena, wore a lovely

embroidered net, fashioned over lacs,
and she wore a large black hat.

A Bit of Brown Study
ft
WHEN a dress
makes up
its mind to
be serious it is bet
ter in these sober
days to encourage
it. Here is. a trig
and dapper tailored
suit which has se
lected a sensible
shade of cinnamon
brown for its self
expression, and
which follows a
quiet ' and unob
trusive outline with
out losing any of its
distinction. . How
ever, it is quite up
to mode of the min
ute vith its bustle
skirt, its tight fitting
jacket, its big but
tons and its only
trimming being
many rows of stitch

The hat which ac
companies it is tali
and dignified and
boasts of the new-
est thing in pom
poms. The hat is of
exquisite fawn-colored
felt, while the
pom pom is the "tie
that binds", the
shade of fawn , to
that of the cinna
mon brown found in
the dress.
A People of Mystery
Evangelist Draws Well ,
At the Plymouth Church
Good crowds greeted Dr. Fifield at
Plymouth church Sunday morning and
evening in the Bible mission now
opening. In the morning he preach
ed on "Lost and Found." In the even
ing on the text "Come Now, Let Us
Reason Together." He showed that
it is reasonable to be a Christian if
there were only the rewards of this
life, more still if the Bible promise
of a future life is true.

Dr. Mackay Says Better to Knit in
Church Than Sleep During Sermon
; Whether to go to church or work
for the soldiers was the quandary in
which Mrs. Robert Cowell and Mrs.
William Archibald Smith found them
selves, Sunday morning. Although
both faithful church workers, they
cast he decision on the scales and
decided that their duty was to remain
at the post and finish the 600 comfort
kits the Woman's Service league is
furnishing the men in the "Dandy
Sixth.
Mrs. "Smith is chairnran . of "the
league and Mrs. Cowell chairman of
the comfort kit committee.
From- 8 in the morning until 7 at
night the two women worked at the
headquarters of the national league
and completed . the kits. Their hus
bands were pressed into service late,
in the day. Becoming alarmed over
their ceaseless industry, they called
for them, only to be put to work
sewing on the red binding.
Confessing their sins to Rev.
Thomas Mackay, they were entirely
absolved. "It was better than going
to church and your consciences may
rest at ease," he said. "It did you
more good than any sermon," he
added. ; , ;.,
When asked whether or not he
would countenance knitting in church,
he replied. "By all means. It is a
good work and you will have to ad
mit that it is better than having the
women go to sleep listening to a ser
mon," he added jovially.' ,
Women are now becoming such ex
pert knitters that they do it mechani
cally and it does not require any con
centration. A number of college girls
tell of knitting while they study with
out it distracting their attention in
the least. '
Father Lloyd Holsapple of St. Bar
nabas church is another clergyman
who is said to have no scruples
against women conserving time by
knitting in church.
The comfort kits were distributed
at the Auditorium by Mrs. Smith,
Mrs. Cowell and Mrs. Frank Myers,
vice chairman of the committee.

. "A friend ba ben telling: me tail ito
rtee about a ptopla called Cro-Magnoni. Re
aayi aeologisti have found them and that
they were the moat wonderful race that
ever lived and aoeeatore of the Oermana.
How much truth la there In this? P. C."
Your friend may have been reading
Prof. Osborn's b6ok on "Men of the
Old Stone Age," but he has not cor
rectly apprehended all the facts. To
say that geologists discovered the
Cro-Magnons is to give an entirely
wrong implication that their remains
have been found embedded in solid
rocks like the fossils of ancient ani
mals and plants, whereas, in truth,
they have been discovered mostly in
caverns, covered, to be sure, with de
posits of silt, sand, gravel, clay and
sometimes beds of stalagmitic lime
stone, but not petrified, encased in
stone or buried in deeo strata of the
earth's rocky crust.
While geologists have, naturallv.
taken a share in the work, yet the
real discoverers of the ancient human
races have been archaeologists, or
students of the antiquity of man.
Then so far is it from being true that
the Cro-Magnons are the ancestors
of the Germans, that the fact is the
Teutonic race came long after the
Cro-Magnons and entered central
Europe from an entirely different di
rection. The two races were quite
different in their physical and psychi
cal characters. - '
But your friend is right in telline
you that the Cro-Magnons were a very
wonderful race, though it is too much
to say that they were the most won
derful thaever lived we must re
serve some superlatives for the later
races, including our ownl Yet they
do loom up in the dim vistas of pre
history in a very extraordinary man
ner. There is no history of the Cro-
Magnons, tor they antedate history.
But they have left their bones, skulls.
implements, carvings, engravings,
paintings and ancient homes to tell
their story, a story which begins not
less than 25,000 years ago. at the close
of the last glacial period in Europe,
known to geologists as "the -fourth
glaciation."
They were not the first men in Eu
rope; they were invaders who prob
ably came from Asia. They drove out
a far more ancient race, the Neander
thals, who had existed for at least
25,000 years before their 'arrival. To
the relatively puny Neanderthals the
Cro-Magnons must have seemed a
terrible race of giants. They were
big-bodied and big-brained. The
skeleton of one that has been found is
six feet four and a half inches in
height and the average height of a
whole group of their skeletons was
found to be over six feet One. Cro
Magnon woman had a brain case ex
ceeding in capacity that of the aver
age man of today. These people lived
by the chase and may have had bows
and arrows when other men had only
stones and clubs to fight with. They
came suddenly and evidently prevailed
at once. How long they had been
developing in their Asiatic home it is
impossible to say.
"No evidence has thus far been
found," says Prof. Osborn, "that even
the Neanderthal women were spared,
or allowed to remain in the country,
because in none of the burials of Au
rignacian times (the period of Cro
Magnon ascendancy, covering many
thousand years) it there any evidence
of the crossing or admixture of the
Cro-Magnons and the Neanderthals.
The chief source of the change which
swept over western Europe lay in the
brain power of the Cro-Magnons, as
seen not only in the large size of the
brain as a whole, but principally in
the almost modern forehead and
forebrain.
"It was a race with a brain capable
Of ideas, of reasoning, of imagination,
and more highly endowed with artis
tic sense and ability than any unciv
ilized race which has ever been dis
covered. After prolonged
study of the works of the Cro-Mag
nons one cannot avoid the conclu
sions that their capacity was nearly,
if not quite, as high as our own; that
they were capable of advanced edu
cation; that they had a strongly de
veloped aesthetic as well as a reu
gious sense; that their society was
quite highly differentiated along the
lines of talent for work of different
kinds."
This wonderful oeoole soread' its
civilization in western Europe during
a period of about 9,000 years before it
attained its culmination. Later, two
or three other races arrived, also
from the direction of Asia; but they
were not thtf intellectual equals ot the
Cro-Magnons. Nevertheless the lat
ter appear to have gradually declined
in stature, and later in mastery, until
they disappear or were swallowed up
in the flood of new races.
Yet there are many archaeologists
who believe that descendants of the
Cro-Magnons still exist in Dordogne,
in southwestern France, where the
great race had its geographic center
in its days of glory. It is also
thought that the Berbers, of north
western Africa, and the Guanches, of
the Canary islands, may have de
scended'lrom the Cro-Magnons.
The beauty and the astonishing
ideality of some of their artistic cre
ations, combined with their intellec
tual and physical powers and the ex
traordinary character of their envi
ronment, throw a romantic atmos
phere over the times of the Cro-Magnons-
