WILEY and a large committee of members of the Women's City Club last night perfected -their arrangements for the cotton carnival on Thursday night of next week from 8 to 12 o'clock in the wide alley in the rear of the club house at 736 Jackson place.

Among the events planned is an old-fashioned cakewalk, in which Mrs. Harvey Wiley and Mr. Frank A. Birgfeld will “lead off.” There will be other dances chosen for the entertainment of the guests in addition to the general dancing to music by Henry Stewart's swing quartet, with Washington's favorite baritone, Leo Schloss, as a special at- traction. An efficient Floor Committee will be made up of both men and women, including Mrs. Julia Hopkins, Miss Naomi Sternheimer, Miss Phyllis Mes- kin, Mrs. John Fitzgerald, Mrs. Na- dine Lane Gallagher, Mrs. Phyllis Stewart, Mrs. Mabel Matthews, Miss Miriam Edwards, Mrs. Thomas Sher- man, Miss Thelma Schmidt, Mr. Mer- rit O. Chance, Mr. Frank A. Birgfeld, Judge Gus A. Schuldt, Mr. W. W. Spaid, Maj. Ernest W. Brown, and Mr. Edgar T. Brown. The committee in charge of the sale of tickets, which is headed by Mrs. Gus Schuldt, has placed tickets on sale at the club house at the nominal price of 55 cents. For the benefit of the club funds, there will be on sale at the cotton carnival such refreshments as befit the occasion. A style show, a floor show, cards and fortunes and many other surprises await the guests at the cotton carnival. o HOOVER GIVEN PLAQUE F. B. 1. Head Given Duplicate of Film Award. J.
