BETWEEN YOU AND ME
MOVING
The National Council YWCA will gather up their scattered offices, the war work room now in the Conservatory of Music, and the other offices at 143 College st., and house them all in the old Bongard residence at the corner of Jarvis and Isabella sts...The house has sixteen rooms, but except for janitors quarters, it will be used only for offices...The beautiful dining room (scene of many Toronto society dinner parties) will be the Board Room of the National Council

CHINESE SOCIETY
Lee Ya-Ching, the pretty Chinese aviatrix who is in town in the interests of the Friends of China Relief Society, attracted all eyes when she dropped in at the Royal York supper dance on Saturday night...She was wearing a long, tight-fitting costume made in traditional Chinese style, the skirt slit to her knees on one side...It was of figured crepe in tones of American beauty and purple, and her short evening cape was of deep purple wool with quilted shoulders...She bought the materials in Paris before the war, but had them made up, like all her clothes, in China...Miss Lee has exquisite hands with bright colored nails, and these hands at the controls of either single-seater planes or big bombers have flown her over 30,000 miles...She learned to fly in Geneva and finished her course in the United States.

GLAMOUROUS GOODWILL
Latest good will ambassadors to take to the air are a group of New York debutantes and post debs who are flying up to Montreal on Wednesday for the Wings for Britain ball at the Mount Royal Hotel...They will be guests of honor at the party, and during the evening will model clothes in a special fashion show...Mrs. W. Robert Holt, daughter-in-law of Sit Herbert Holt, is chairman of the ball committee, and among the American guests she has invited are Hope Carroll, one of last year's more publicized debs, and Mrs. John Simms Kelly (Brenda Frazier), granddaughter of Sir Frederick Williams-Taylor, of Montreal and Nassau, who hasn't said yet whether she will join the party or not.

FROM ENGLAND
It was nice to hear Canadian women's voices on the radio from England yesterday, when the Dominion's newest recruits for the Mechanized Transport Corps did a broadcast...Toronto was represented by Mrs. P. W. Arnoldi and Hilma Farquharson, and both spoke enthusiastically of their friendly welcome in England...Mrs. Arnoldi, who was head of the Red Cross Transport Section here before enlisting with the M. T. C., said she hoped their party would be only a small advance guard of Canadian women prepared to serve overseas..."Since I have been here I realize how much women are needed," she said...Canadian members of the Corps wear the regulation M. T. C. khaki uniform, but they have the word "Canada" just below their left shoulder, and farther down the sleeve another badge, a green maple leaf on a bronze background...Several of the girls remarked that frequently English people, seeing their Canadian badges, would stop them on the street, and tell them how glad they were to have Canadian women in England.
