Feather plume pen holders | in gay colors for the ladies and equally gay satin ribbon sashes for the men were used in the first figure, small silk flags of all nations for both men and women in the second, and for the third there were cigarette holders for the ladies and cigarette cases for the men. The second figure was particularly effective, the couples forming an arch- | way with their flags on each side of the room through which the remaining couples marched and as the last couple went through those forming the arch followed them | Miss Alexander, who danced with Comdr. Jewell, wore a dainty and be- coming frock of golden yellow taffeta T selor of the Netherlands legation, who has lately returned from Europe.

Stays Pure Five Weeks. “Because,” he explained, “of the posi- tive and airtight seal and the nature of the container the milk stays pure. Milk in sealcones has been kept fresh and usuable for five weeks.” Dr. Louis I. Harris, former commis- sioner of health, told guests at the | luncheon that the container was a safe method of retailing milk. He said | the growth of bacteria would be slower | in the cardboard than in glass. He hoped, he said, that the milk com- panies would reduce the cost of its| product to the public so that contain- | ers would be within the financial reach | of those who now use loose milk. | Speakers at the luncheon included | Mr. Reilly, whese father, Dr. Frank W. | Reilly, was assistant health commission- | er in Chicago when glass milk bottles were introduced; Bruce Barton and Dr. Harris.
