If rumors fulfill their promises, we
may expect much social gayety after
Lent. Young and gay Cordova will
throw off its penitent mood and forget
in one continuous round of pleasure
the privations that it endured during
the Lenten season.

Gerald Hoadley was the pleasant
host at a dance given for the mem
bers of the Pioneer Packing company
and their friends at Hegg’s hall on
Tuesday evening. The guests voted
the dance and the music a success;
and also found the nearness of the ice
cream parlor a decided convenience
between dances.

was that held at Charles Ross’ ranch

tended by the Pinnacle Rock em

bed and early to rise, you never meet
any of the regular guys.

The call of the tennis court has
come with the sunny days and the
social set are responding with a rush
to again wield the racquet. The fair
ones yield not one whit to the male
contingent in their enthusiasm for
the game. Many of them have become
exceptionally proficient with the rac
quet and prove themselves more than
a match for the average player of the
opposite sex. But this is only natural
since “love” figures so prominently in
the sport. i
Among the members of the club,
however, it is said that Mr. Caleb
Corser, Mr. J. H. Sellen, Mr. R. J. De
Leo and Mr. Frank Ford all lay
strenuous claims to the honor of
being the champion wielder of the
racquet. Friends and supporters of
each are anxious for a match between
the different rivals and the betting
promises to be heavy though strictly
on the quiet.

“From little matters let us pass to
less
And lightly touch the mysterious of
dress.”
Easter with its gay bonnet and
necessary new dress is with us again.
Why even the weather man is ap
parently in leige with the ladies this
year;for there is practically no chance
of its raining on Sunday. And once
the splurge is made for Easter gar
ments, summer shopping comes of Its
own accord. Poor old Father Cordova
Is perhaps banking on the hope that
once Easter Is over he can again sit in
peace and comfort, in no danger of
taking cold from an overdraft (some
one else was guilty of this bit of
humor). Poor deluded man. Did he
but know it, this business of the
women of his household talking a lot
about new outfits for the Easter
parade and a much-needed change of
costume for spring being a simple
necessity at this time of the year and
by no means a luxury, if after all,
pretty much of a hoax just to coax
his purse strings loose. Which is to
say, in straightforward English, that
the first impression might incline one
to think that the big buying of the
year will be over with the passing of
Easter Day tomorrow. Now that they
have the wherewithal to clothe them
selves fashionably, milady and her
daughter are only just ready to start
on a series of shopping tours. But the
world was ever thus. Daddy, you may
grumble, but you will have to pay the
bills.

Tomorrow being Easter the ladies
are watching the weather indications
in the hope that they may be able to
don their new spring wearing apparel.

Woman’s Liberty Loan Committee.
As the Victory loan drive draws
near, interest in the Woman’s Liberty
loan organization increases. Previous
to thp second Liberty loan, Mrs. T. J.
Donohoe was appointed chairman of
the Woman’s Liberty Loan Committee
for Alaska by Mrs. W. G. McAdoo,
chairman of the National Woman’s
Liberty Loan Committee, which was
authorized by the treasury depart
ment. Mrs. Donohoe immediately af
fected an organization of the women
of the territory by appointing a divi
sional chairman in each of the four
Judicial divisions of Alaska. These
chairmen in turn organized a commit
tee in their respective towns and ap
pointed chairmen for each community
in their respective divisions. The or
ganization thus formed has rendered
excellent service in the sale of bonds
in the last three drives.
In the coming loan drive, it was
decided at headquarters, that the
woman’s committees throughout the
nation might do more effective work
by a closer affiliation with the men’s
Liberty loan organization. As the
men’s bond selling organization for
the coming drive consists of the var
ious territorial councils of defense
and the banks of the territory, the
woman’s committees will co-operate
with them.
In order to organize a committee of
women in Cordova to co-operate with
the council of defense and the banks,
each woman’s organization here has
been requestd to appoint one or more
members as represntativs, and thus
organize a Woman’s Liberty Loan
Committee for the coming drive. Mrs.
Donohoe has been much gratified by
the hearty response received from the
ladies of Cordova. The following or
ganizations are represented. The East
ern Star by Mesdames A. J. Adams,
J. Day, Alvah Eames, Bartley Howard
and George Harmon. The Altar So
ciety is represented by Mrs. J. V.
Lydick. The Woman’s Guild by Mes
dames L. H. Smith, Wilbur Ward,
William Fursman, E. P. Zeigler, and
Miss S. Sjoberg. The Ladies Aid So
ciety by Mesdames J. E. Currier, A.
G. Shriver, and V. G. Vance The W.
C. T. U. have appointed Mrs. Koch
to represent them.
Mrs. Donohoe has received word
that the government has medals to
be made from captured German can
non and these will be awarded to
authorized women workers during the
Victory loan drive. The services of
any other ladies in Cordova and vi
cinity who may volunteer to assist In
the coming drive would be appre
ciated and if they will notify Mrs.
Donohoe, she will place them on the
Woman’s Liberty Loan Committee.
