at her home, 1920 Harrison street.
The holiday dances are over, and
the young people who have been max
ing it comfortably lively for two
weeks have gone back to school, and
the result is-no parties, nothing stir
ring. This morning the great army
of the unemployed" Gas the cracker
box orator might say)-the lucky, en-
viable ones, who can afford three-ply
blankets and a holiday in bed, re-
manned IN the one place Where they
could keep warm. Those who were
called to the telephone to assure me
that there was no news, spoke only of
the gas shortage and a prolonged
slumber party. 1t seems that the
night cap brigade slept at its post
until the lunch bell beat a tardy
reveille. The consequence is that the
prospects for luncheons and parties
are pretty dingy just now.
