member the McCreerys, who amassed

Mrs. McCreery is an attractive wom-
Ill -, he oct
as well as in the West, Pierre Loril-

Mr.. Haskns, who no doubt is eagerly
awaiting the coming of his bride, is an
attache of the diplomatic corps in

feel an inclination to giggle when a
friend says solemnly "Oh, I've been so
I'll. I've had the measles Now an
other name is really a necessity, mas

have a pet prediction for the women
of the smart set. Since Alice Roosevelt
had it, really it has become mildly epi-
demic Why? Oh, that's rather too
deep. Could it be hypnotic suggestion?
