News is quite scarce these days.
The ladies are far too warm to dress
up and give parties. So here goes for
say that a most attractive and pretty
young blonde, daughter of a most
prominent insurance man, who used to
live here but a year ago moved to
turvy in the home and heart of a well
known Episcopal minister. Not only a
married man but with a fine family of
/ children. There is talk of a divorce,
also a forced resignation from the
ministry. There is also a little talk
/ about one of our own ministers and
an old maid school teacher. And now
| for a few of just the plain clothes
men: A fine looking man with two
handsome daughters and also a
! charming wife, is shining around and
! acting childish over a daughter of one
| of our florists. And so the world goes.
/ The mothers and daughters stay home
! and slave in the heat, trying to cook
something tempting for the loved hus-
bands and sons. who when out of
their sight are looking about for a
pretty face and a trim figure. The
| perfect husband should consider his
wife's happiness before everything
else. 1t certainly is true adage, mo
fool is like an old fool"
| At $50 Tuesday evening about fifty
| guests assembled at the home of Mr..
