This year's Autumn Ball will again be held at the South Pasadena Woman's Club, 1424 Fremont Ave. at Rollin St., south of the Fair Oaks exit from State Freeway 110. We may park cars on the street or at nearby South Pasadena High School.

We shall have a beginners'; dance lesson at 10 a.m., then an intermediates'; lesson at 2, by our Choreographer John Hertz; between those, box lunches (a separate subscription); at half past 4, a full tea; then at half past 7, dancing till midnight, with buffet supper at half past 10. It is a well-provided day, and has long been a pleasant and applauded affair.

We are pleased to announce that our tea-time guest will be Ken McWilliams, President of Chapter 75 (San Fernando Valley), National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors, who will speak to us of time machines. Mr. McWilliams teaches repair of antique watches and clocks at Ventura College, and College of the Canyons. He will bring period tools and timepieces. In our period, keeping time was as subtle as ever; one is tempted to call Breguet a name to conjure with, but that is reallly a Robert-Houdin story and belongs to the next era.
