the guests were invited to the dining
room where a buffet lunch was serv-
ed. Mrs. Eagon gave three vocal
selections with Mrs. Sappington as
accompanies, after which an animated
discussion Of the bond issue was en-
gagged in. The pros and cons were
about evenly divided and they arg
ued with as much enthusiasm as il
they were going to the polls the next
day, which leads me to believe that
every lady controls a vote any way.
Mrs, Eagon was the only one present
who is familiar with the polls and the
ballot, and she has lost none Of her
charm and feminity by "associating
with men at the polls"
