There was a large number in attendance and the guests were met at the door by members of the dpeartment and were presented with vari-colored paper hats. The music was sup- plied by Angus Bell's Royal Can- ucks. Two novelty dances were in- troduced into the program, In the elimination dance each gentleman received a number and-the couple 'remaining on the floor was Miss Little and Mr. Alex Ross. In the "Honeymoon Special", Miss Bles- chenger and Mr, R. L. Bliss of General Motors, Detroit, were the winning couple. During the even- ing a telegram was received from Personality! ! When Ziegfeld selects them, you can be sure they have person- ality. This lovely New York girl, now appearing in '""Rio Rita," has talent--and beauty, too--enhanced by wonderful skin and the softest 'waves of dark brown hair, "When friends ask me what 1 do to make my hair so soft and gleamy," says Miss Hargrave, *I have to think twice to tell them, because I give so little time to it. The method I use is very popular among New York girls, I just put & little Danderine on my brush each time I use it. I am letting my hair grow; but you'd never know it. Danderine keeps it so soft and easy to arrange and holds it in place so wonderfully. It gives my hair such a silky, soft avd lus- trous appearance, friends are al- 'ways commenting on fit. isn't a trace of dandruff left now that I'm using Danderine regular- ly. And it keeps my hair and scalp so clean and comfortable that I don't shampoo half as often as I used to." Danderine quickly removes that oily film from your hair, brings out its natural color, gives it more Instre than brilliantine. It makes the hair easy to dress; keeps it in g6. It usually checks dandruff, It isn't oily; doesn't show, All drug stores have the generous 35¢ bot- tlés. A delicately fragranced neces- sity for the well-groomed girl!

A lit- tle advice in regard to the care of the . lawn now in the Spring after the Winter may be timely, and if it will not be of any assistance to | you, you might pass it along to friend husband. Winter damage to lawns is not caused by cold weataer but by thawing and standing water. Per- manent grasses are not injured by freezing, but they can he smother- ed by water standing over them and they can be lifted up out of the sofl by the heaving action which accompanies alternate thawing and freezing. Evea on a well-drained lawn there is likely to be some. heaving of the turf, which may destroy con- tact between the matted grass roots and the soil beneath. This contact must be restored, otherwise the wicklike action of the soil jn bring- ing water up from below to feed the grass roots will be interrupted and the grass will dry out and die. For this reason the lawn must be rolled as early in the spring as possible; that is, as soon as It is fairly dry. Rolling requires care. Do not roll a wet or muddy soil, and do not use too heavy a roller, It should be just heavy enough so that footprints do not show after rolling. Sandy soil may be rolled much oftener than clay soil, since the sandy soil needs all the com- pacting it can get, but a clay solic can be packed so closely that the grass suffers and baking and crack- ing in the summer is encouragea. Earth worms are sometimes a nuisance on fine lawns, The exter- minator used by golf clubs is cor- rosive sublimate (bichloride of mercury) dissolved one-half ounce to fifteen gallons of water, which will be enough for 125 square feet. After this is sprinkled on the lawn the worms will come to the surface and die. The United States Department of Agriculture has shown that arsene ate of lead, a familiar insecticide for chewing insects, can be used cheaply and efficiently against au gle-worms .and various grubs and weeds, as well as having some fer- tilizing effect. The method of applying the ar- senate to a lawn is to mix five pounds of the arsenate in crystal form with two bushels of soil or sand moist, but not wet, and sprin- kle it at the rate of five pounds of arsenate so mixed to 1,000 square feet of soil. Thearsenate is carried into the soil and the feeding worms and grubs are destroyed. As it is a poison animals must not be allow- ed to eat the grass and poultry should be kept away from such a treated surface. The arsenate dressing has also proved effective in killing chick- weed and crab grass, thé latter a pest that affects lawns in summer.
