mas shopping or afternoon teang all in the
pleasantest surroundings. This spot is to be
found in the ballroom of Horticultural Hall
from o'clock this afternoon until 10 o'clock

atop her elaborately coiffed head. Another
very clever idea is the Automat where 10 cents
secures the privilege OF pressing the button to
see what viii happen next From there one
goes the rounds of cake and candy. chInaware,
fancy work booths and fortune telling, with the
Ubiquitous movie wind-up.
