The formal opening, of an industrial
service center tor the use of girls and
women employed in the factories of
Richmond, Va., was held recently. The
center was established by the war work
council of the National Young Women'3
Christian association and Richmond is
one of ten cities in the United States
in which the association is demonstrat
ing this phase of its work. The girls
who are employed in the East Main
street section already appreciate the
pleasant and attractive clubhouse while
Richmonders in general are express
ing Interest In its success.
As under a magic touch a building
which contained originally two dusty
stores and a tenement, has been trans
formed into an inviting spot for socia
bility. Pleasing interior decorations
in buff and blue have taken the place
of dingy walls. At noon each day young
women from the surrounding manufac
turing places assembled in the pretty
tea room, which is on the second floor
and partake of luncheon daintily served
at dainty tables while in the evening,
when the day's work is at an end, re
creation in the clubroom with piano or
rlctrola music is the attraction.
The fact that the center is In the
business district of the city does not
prevent the young people from enjoying
out-of-door sports, for a space of land
back of the building has been convert
ed into a small park. Here between
row of flower beds is a tennis court and
a basketball grounds. It is the intent
of the association to give the girlsvof

the scene of an afternoon tea which
was attended by the executive board
and the committees of the Richmond
Y. W. C: A., the South Atlantic field
committee and the executive staff and
social service workers.
Similar centers have been opened in
New Orleans. Cincinnati, Minneapolis,
St. Louis, Worcester and Pittsburg.

locations to demonstrate this work by
women for women in order that the in

good to be true.

served the girls. Sleeping out under
the trees in the woods is another in
ducement. There are six asphalt ten
nis courts and early morning and late

Admirals in Fuji Dress.

I of the Associated PreBS.) English
4 uu-i.it took Its tea. this afternoon
on the lawn at Buckingham palace, the
suest of King- George anf Queen Mary.
It was a. simple affair, their maioetles
moving about among their friends. '
stopping now and then to greet this
one or shake hands with that one
while on their way from the palace to
the pavilion where they too had tea.
The scene was brilliant. The weather
did very well, for while it was cloudy
there was no rain. Scores upon scores
of gaily dressed women walked and
chatted with distinguished generals
and admirals in full regimentals, or
went over the political situation with
statesmen, of whom there were a great'
many there from every party.
The king and queen came out from
the palace at 4 o'clock, and the nearest
band played the national anthem. The
whole of the great company stood still,
and then began to flow with one ac
cord toward their majesties. From
that time for two hours, the "garden
party" was just what it was intended
to be.
The queen was dressed in a striking
robe of sapphire brocaded silk, and the
Princess Mary, who followed her moth
er, wore pink and white satin. The
king had discarded his familiar field
marshal's uniform and appeared In the
higrh hat and frock cat of other peace
days. He was in good humor, and
spent most of bis time talking to the
soldiers and sailors who sought him
out. The queen paid particular atten
tion to the "new and the young." as
one who was there put It. but did not
ne-lect her old friends.
The socially ambitious were not pre
sented In person to their majesties
the mere fact of their presence being
taken as proof positive they had en
tered the coveted realm. Also it gave
the king and queen more time to en
Joy themselves, since it did away with
a trying, if spectacular, ceremony.

lene Faith died Wednesday afternoon.
Clark and the younger child, Georgia
Hope, had apparently recovered and
were preparing to attend tha funeral,
when Mrs. Clark called him to the
bathroom of their home, where sha had
taken tha younger child. When ha en
tered tha room sha flrad. the bullet

then shot the 4-year-old child and
turned tha gun upon herself. Clark
died shortly after reaching tha hos
pital.
Mrs. Clark s mind la said to nave been
affected for soma time, and a close
watch had been kept on her movements
for several days.
The killing was done with a 33-call-
ber revolver, which Clark, it is said.
had hidden behind a picture In the
bathroom to keep his wife from find
ing it. fearing that sha would take her
own life.
Tha authorities are investigating a
report that Mrs. Clark bad placed
poison In the cundy Easter eggs which
caused the death of the older child.
