Mrs. Hackett's eyes snapped again,

never had been able in % years OF mar

Mrs. Hackett was a little more upset

swell affair on Lake Vista boulevard,
and Mrs. Hackett did not think that
Polly could wear a gown that she had
worn twice before, and, as Mr.. Hack
ct had said something about economy,
the wife and mother had become a bit
wrathful.
