that had all the fun. They had Just about
one.thrd OF it, The girls were out in force,
Just as they are on all festive occasions,
and they got right down to business at the

the way confetti was thrown at them was
a caution. You should have Seen those
beautiful pieces Of headgear, that carefully
arranged couture, that pretty new dress!

seem to mind 1t In the least. As fast as
they were hit they would hit somebody else,

and buying two or three pounds moie.
