Social Fare Nicols Are Moving Helen and Jess Nicol have always talked about some day finding just the right small, uncomplicated home from which they could pick up on sudden whim and leave, for travels north, south, east, and west.

Their plans for such a home are finally beyond the talking stage. Nothing as temporary as a pied a terre, the answer to where they would live between travels will be a luxuriously appointed mobile home, presently being fitted to their specifications in Southern California. They'll keep it at The Plantation mobile home park in Healdsburg, close by fine hunting and fishing country. In addition, the Nicols will have their automobile and smaller travel trailer at the park so that they can gypsy off whenever the travel bug bites.

Mrs. Frank Mulks entertained at a small luncheon for Helen at Trader Vic's, and Helen said a silent farewell to San Francisio Bay from The Dock the day friends took her to Tiburon for luncheon al fresco. "I'll drive down for special occasions," she promises friends, and counts among the occasions that will qualify as "special" the Mobilized Women's fall bazaar for which she is general chairman.

As a member of that organization's Board of Directors, Helen laughingly laces goodbyes to friends with admonitions to "save your costume jewelry for the bazaar, and your short pencils for the children in the Mobilized recreation center." away from the Kobe campus.
