Just as at the appointed hour the
nest morning, the signal was given
for the grand rush for land location,
there floated up gracefully into the
air the circus-balloon. There were
only two aboard Nina and Dale.

BY AND ABOUT WOMEN
Kansas City women have opened a
"rest room" for homeless and mis
treated animals. Animals that can
not be placed in homes will be hu
manely killed. Mrs. Daniel Stokes is
in charge of the "rest room" and sev

Mrs. Marion Schaeffer, a graduate

occupies the entire top floor of the
building. It was established because
the bank officers discovered there
was a close relationship between food
and business efficiency.

The gown itself is white taffeta
heavily striped with black velvet, A
white taffeta vest and long, close-fitting

The design is one of LaCroix's, and
