Show Dinner, Social Event for Legion Auxiliary Foremost on the program of the American Legion Auxiliary convention, which opens at St. Paul, on September 15, is the state's dinner, which is also the leading social event of the entire Legion convention. This banquet will be held at the Masonic temple at 7 :30 o'clock on Tuesday evening. Brilliant decorations, beautifully gowned women, lights, music, combine to make a function which is not soon forgotten. Each department has its own special table, which is decorated in distinctive fashion by the department depart-ment itself. The variegated schemes contribute largely to the dash and splendor of the scene. National officers, department delegates, dele-gates, national executive committee-women committee-women and all chairmen of the national nation-al committees of the Auxiliary will be present. The national commander of the Legion and notables on convention committees will be guests.

Election of national officers will be held on Friday Fri-day morning and will conclude the convention. |
