f T" O you realize that we must play
I ) cards all Saturday afternoon
, for the benefit of the Creche kid-
dies and then fly home and change
' s !rom tailor-mades to tulle for the din-
fier. dance at the Country club? For
; Soth- important events come on the
tame day and of course, none would
1 miss playing bridge and possibly win-
ning one of the stunning prizes. Pa
i triotic they may be, but you may be
sure that the knitting bag will be a
beauty and who wouldn't love to have
' a silk flag?
v Some lovely new gowns will be
"; seen at the Country club openings, as
' the Field, the Happy Hollow and the
. Country club have all chosen the
i same night for this formal dinner
? dance. The uniforms of the fighting,
'men in our midst. will be a striking
: foil for the pretty evening gowns
and there will surely be numbers of
uniforms, for really a civilian is a
V novelty these days. We have heard
. that a number of large parties will
.be given, for several hostesses made
out their lists weeks ago.
' One busy matron who is at lier
- desk at Red Cross headquarters all
'day long is planning a pretty new
eown and she savs that everybody
-will welcome the opening of the clubs,
for we all need a little relaxation in
these stressing times,
A Seymour Lake club is a most at
tractive spot and such a nice motor
r ride and when one thinks oi a de
licious dinner and a bit of a dance
on the roomy porch overlooking the
lake, we throw on a long coat over
our party frock with alacrity and run
out to the waiting machine.
There have been a number of guests
:in our midst this week who have
livened the social calendar a bit. Mrs
Harry Wilkins just ran over from
Chicago for a few days to visit her
mother, Mrs. Frank Colpetzer, but
really every minute was crowded full
of affairs for her. She was one of
the original members of the Original
Cooking .club and every one of the
members entertained for her during
- her stay,
Mrs. L. M. Pegau is having a real
house-party for her guests, number
ing three. Delightful little luncheons
and . teas have been given for Miss
Pegau, Mrs. Hahn and Mrs. Cham
bers, the guests at the Pegau home,
and their hostess is giving a little
dinner dance this week for them.
Of course, with the opening of the
Red Cross drive, all social affairs will
be forgotten. Already the forces are
mobilized for this spring drive and
members of the woman's executive
committee met for luncheon at the
University club Saturday to formu
late plans for their big part in" the
campaign.
Banquet for Graduates.
It has always been the custom for
'the junior class of the Sacred Heart
High school to entertain the graduat
- ing class at a banquet, but this year
the girls decided to keep the affair
as simple as possible and so enter
tained the seniors at an Orpheum
party Saturday afternoon. The two
classes include: '

And'they'll bear investigation by women who are in
the :habit of paying considerably more than this for
their clothes. They have the general attractiveness of
higher-priced exclusive suits, and far more quality in
the details than medium-priced suits usually receive.

m
Here's a showing of menVsuits that is pronounced the
season's most interesting. Because it. involves so large a
style range, such excellence of fabrics, and notable values.
The high cost handicap has been overcome to a marked
degree by anticipating our wants a great many months
ago. This, in addition to insuring remarkable values, gives
us possession of much desirable merchandise merchan
dise that today is unobtainable.
A logical conclusion is that it is best to see this display V
early; we can't too strongly emphasize the advantages of
choosing your suit Monday and at Beddeo's.
