lot of we'll dressed women on the
streets of Columbia Tuesday, although
not quite as many as there were on
Monday, but enough to make the task
anything but an easy one. Mr.. X will
be allowed to tell of his troubles in
his own way:
ITO the Editor of The Herald:
"Whew, but that job on Tuesday
was a caution. | will be mighty GLAD

who wore a lovely type of soft grey
material was another that attracted
my eye. In fact there were a whole
lot of them, more believe in brown
than any other color, although blue
was worn very much.

That sentence holds volumes on
womanly heroism, practical-minded-

women do not handle cows in the
Orient, but thanks to training on an

knew that if she led 1t by her OWE
