And in return for this tourtesy which wiU make attendance at the sessions of the school for the whole day so much eas'er, every woman planning to stay for luncheon has been asked to notify her local social chairman so that Mrs. Robson, the dietician at the high school, may be able to make her plans as easily as possible.
