rushing about higgle-del pfggledy, autos
were lined up in front of the popular
place. and everything was in a state Of

looking their very best during the gay
season of balls and parties and dinners
and luncheons. and that they know just
where to go to be made beautiful.
Once inside the coy rooms, there were
those who had just had the latest Golf
fure arranged, cautiously pinning on their
pretty chapeaux. so as not to disturb
