Mrs. Prentice-How do you both do 7
My only reason for coming to teas
like this is to get a chance to see my
friends. Nobody ever calls any more.
Or. at least, nobody ever comes to my
house. I'll wager a cooky that you
were talking about the Burrs. Do you
know, I'm not surprised a bit. I've
said SO right along. Why. Mr.. Burr
used to sit on the porch without col
lar on! He did! You can ask any
body. And the tales they tell! Dear
me. wouldn't repeat them for mil
lions Of dollars. even to dear friends
like you. Her hats!
Woman in Brown never knew her,
but when I moved into this neighbor-
hood first was told about the woman
who wore the queer hats.
Woman in Blue-Oh, yes, indeed.
Why, she never seems to consult the
fashions at all. Just wears what she
thinks is becoming, that's all, and it's
always the same sort of hat every sea-
son. don't wonder that her husband
got tired Of her.
Woman in Gray-Thsy say that
when the Diapers moved away you
could have taken a wagonload Of rub
bish out Of their basement alone. They
didn't pretend to clean things up. The
ianitor told me he never had SO much
work. He wouldn't come up and do
anything for me until I offered him
double the usual amount because he
was SO tired carting out the trash.
Woman in Brown-They threw away
such good things, too. My little boy
found lots Of things to play with there
an almost good egg beaten, flower
pot and lot Of other things. They
we're both Of them so extravagant!

Woman in Blue-Is she a widow?

Mrs. Prentice-she said so. That's

Woman in Gray-You can't tell by
what people say about themselves.
Isn't she just back from the west?
Keno or somewhere?
Mrs. Prentice-She has niece out
