THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who is obliged to go away for a
rest and recuperation after she re-
cefves visits from members of her
family, for they do make such I'M
limited demands upon her. She never
complains about them herself. but if
you ask her friends what ails her,
they are quick and plain enough to
go straight to what they consider the
unvarnished truth. and they say right
out that she is suffering from an
overdose of step children" Thus this
old fairy tale about the cruel step
mother, like SO many of the tradi-
tons, has spots on it.

were arriving at any and all hours of

from a down town hotel

an inventory. Fifty-three darling silk
