from the shopping districts. and we
did not have so very many coming in
to luncheons and afternoon teas. But
for the past year or two so many shops

shopping center, and every day more
and more women coming In from SUI

way uptown make this hotel their
headquarters. so that really we felt
that we must do something to make
our women patrons more comfortable,
hence these rooms were built and
fitted up. and now we wonder how
the women ever got on without them.
"Of course, the one problem which
confronted US was the running Of the
elevator leading to these rooms. It

a hotly contested case before one OF

At this Representative Bartlett
chimed in with the story Of four
young lawyers down Macon way,
mixed up in litigation before a local
justice Of the peace. They were III,

They conferred together added
Mr.. Bartlett, and decided that they
would offer no testimony whatever
but consume the allotted time in argu-
ment. to which the judge consented
as all OF them wanted a chance to
speak In what was their first case.

story" concluded Mr.. Bartlett, is that
the Judge decided the case on their
arguments. 1t was appealed TO the
highest court OF the state Of Georgia
