conversation.

Myra-
Il should say creed instead OF cate

people live for" She looked dehantly
at Ortrude.
Dudley noticed that his father was
eating no dinner and looked distressed
at the Earring notes in the conversation
and he determined to come to the
rescue.
Cant we talk of something besides
clothes?" he asked cheerfully. LAS far
as Daddy is concerned. we have always
been satisfied with the way he looked
OF course we are just plain country

Ortrude's face flushed at this shot

her.

relief as the conversation was steered
into safe channels
When she rose from the table Or
trude said:

can visit with your relatives"
Mrs. Orland made her a stiff bow,

Ortrude's face was wreathed in smiles

"Oh, don't know. Toggery and
