A report that his chief lieuten- ant, General Fausto Topete, brother of Ricardo, also has moved to the border was denied. The Americans’ account of the Navojoa retreat said the rebels had been subjected to a heavy bombard- ment from federal airplanes.

Two thousand American troops were assembled at Camp Stephen D. Little, here. Tv.o squadrons of cav- ‘alry were ordered here from Fort Huachuca, Ariz., and numerous out- posts were established all along the American side of the line.

Many of the women said they were entirely satisfied with social life as it has been operating. One young man, who is working his way up, despite his wealthy family, said.that society had become so much like the subway rush that he no longer cared to be mixed up in It. In fact, it left him so much sold on the idea of a good book and a quiet evening that he had practically given up society, since quietness or calm seemed quite impossible since the Volstead Act. What They've Resolved “The result of all this is that the mothers of the debutantes and the debs themselves have met and passed some resolutions,” explained Miss Truesdale. “Here they are: “That luncheon and dinner host- esses Shall seat their guests promptly and not walt onthe late comers. Late guests shall be served with the course that is in progress. “That luncheon hostesses shall give short luncheons, preferably limiting the courses to four. “That dance hostesses observe an early hour at which dances will end —preferably between 2 and 3 o'clock. The hostesses shall state the closing hour on the invitation so that a com- paratively early closing will not be considered an indication that a party is a failure.” Parties have been growing later and later, until the breakfast has be- come as much a part of the evening's festivities as the supper. Men Shy at Late Hours While this has added to the gayety of life, and has brought the society folk and the working folk together in the morning if not in the evening, it has had the effect of driving the most eligible young men out of society, be- cause they could not keep up the pace. After a day in Wall Street, the “UATE TO LEAVE SO EARLY BUT iM CUB AT.

And it isn't getting the debutantes very far if they meet only. lounge liz- ards and retired citizens. ‘Whereas society may keep later hours in New York than in other the Junior Leaguers is that the move- ment for promptness and early hours might well spread throughout the country.
