n was amusing yesterday. I met one
~ our attractive Main Line matrons
Shopping madly in Wanamakers She
said they had been showed UP for
several days, so she had at last made
a break and just come in town, and
was staying at a hotel for several

know Just bought myself two de-
urhtful presents, because / know my
husband will forget all about 1t, and
/ might as we'll have what like, don't
you Think" and off she rushed again.
don't quite blame her, after all, for
men are apt to be the most helpless
things about Christmas shopping. I
know of one who nearly always waits
until the last minute and then flies
down to n department store and gets
n transfer. He then proceeds to buy
the place out and walks home with
package which reaches from the step
10 tho top OF the front door. | VIII
say this for him, however, he does get !
t,st the right things, his family tell |
me.

who are pretty happy today. They are |
Miss Margaretta Blspham and Miss |
Sophie Bispham. daughters of Mr.. and /

take place today In Washington. 1t Will
be an experience for them certainly.
