AD MEN'S LUNCH TOflA!
Plans Will Be Discussed lor Enter-
tainment of Visitors Here
in May.
Members of the San Antonio Adver-
tisers' Association will hold their first
luncheon for several weeks at 12:30
o'clock today at tbe St. Anthony Hotel.
There are a number of matters of spe-
cial importance to be considered at the
meeting and a large attendance has been
urged by officers of the association.
Two papers are scheduled to be read
during the luncheon. J. P. Ward will
discuss "Advertising From a Manufac-
turer's Viewpoint" and J. R. Sprague
will talk on "Advertising Mediums.''
Several members of tbe association arc
devoting much of their time of late
making plans for the visit of delegates
to the convention of tbe Associated Ad-
vertising Club of America in May. The
delegation will be in San Antonio Satur-
day. May To, on their circle tour of tbe
State.
Tbe Chamber of Commerce is co-oper-
ating with the advertising men of San
Antonio to make the day one long to be
remembered by tbe visitors. They will
he taken for an automobile ride to Fort
Sam Houston and around the Mission
Loop and will be entertained at night
with a typical Mexican dinner.
"There is a lot of work to be done in
connection with the entertainment of the
8<I men. and we are particularly anxious
for a large attendance at the luncheon
Tuesday in order to discuss ways and
means of taking care »>f them properly,"
said William Moore White, secretary,
last night.
VETERAN OPERATOR HERE
Mrs. T. Dellmare in Telephone Service
Twenty-four Years.
With twenty-four years of continual
service to her credit, Mrs. T. Dellmare,
chief operator of the Austin exchange
of the Southwestern Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company, who is in tfie city at-
tending a meeting of the district traflic
chiefs, is tbe oldest employe of that
company in Texas and Arkansas. Speak-
ing of her service with that company
Mrs. Dellmare said:
"When I first accepted service at Aus-
tin the old style telephone with tiie long
receiver and the bell that was operated
with a crank to call the subscriber was
in vogue. That system was hateful to
the operator and it was little wonder
subscribers complained of the service be-
cause of the length of time required to
make a connection. With the change,
however, l'rom the old shutter bell ap-
pliance to the modern flash light system,
life became easier for the girls at the
switchboard.
"The telephone operators of today can-
not conceive the handicaps of twenty-four
years ago. Not only has the mechanical
devices been improved but the company
has erected more commodious structures
for exchanges throughout this territory
with all the comforts of homes for their
employes."
Mrs. Dellmare is a regular attendant
at all the conferences held by the traffic
chiefs and her advice is sought by the
higher officials on any matters that
would tend to improve the present ser-
vice. She has made a careful study of
the task set before her in all matters
pertaining to the telephone and there is
not a be iter posted employe of the com-
pany.
It's very easy to find "Who Is Who"
in San Antonio.

Graceful -and most practical In character—is this outing hat of white milan. trim-
med iu novel fashion with supple white straw braid. A broad band of the straw braid,
wired at one end, is looped around itself in a very smart and simple knot and this Is
all the trimming the hat boasts. With this hat is worn a very dainty new outing
waist, trimmed with a deep collar of Colbert embroidery and a ncckbow of cerise taf-
feta silk. The waist accompanies an outing skirt of white mohair, heavily stitched
and short enough to show buttoned boots of white buckskin.
