Some friends from a distance came
to town ten days ago, announcing that

After weeks association [ recon-

slightest return. Not an appeal was

We were piloted to unfrequented spots
by the Yale quarterback OF "a as if he
had quilted the haunts but yesterday
We did the BOWery, of cOurs; dance

through devious ways we found our

Der tubes. A fine Hungarian band play

Jew and Gentle hummed or chorused
approval. Later on we scrambled down

from porcelain skulls.
We wandered through Thames street
another day to sample a tankard of ale
and a saddle of lamb served in good old
English fashion. Minus the barmaid it

The proposition was hailed with de-

agreed to single out shops owned by
women.
My friends had sport in plenty, and
