IEE ETS go to Harvey s II 50

- wonderful band there that
plays gorgeous Jazz music and you
do see the most stunning people
Who's for HarveysT' asked Mrs
Whittemore with animation and
anxious desire to be pleased as vel
as to please her guests.
Marion Jason looked up with a
youthful repetition OF Mrs White

It's gay all right And IL costs two
dollars apiece to get in. What's the
use Of going there2 If we like each
other well enough, why can't we have
a good time right where we are2'
1t was Sibyl Harper who spoke. Sib
is o big, wholesome, honest ycdn g

The Whittemores began TO protest
AS host and hostess they did not quite

that the servants were out, had gone

We had a wonderful time in the big
White-tiied Kitchen place to which
az least ten out OF the people pres
ent were not in the habit OF repair

For a group OF pampered rich peo-
pie, a little party in the Kitchen IS
exciting because IL is a change from
thei- rOuune-at least, so they eI-
plain IT. But think it is pleasing be-
cause in our souls we are all simple
We cost our simplicity with all sorts
OF artificial tastes and interests
When people are sure OF themselves
they dare TO be simple The stiff for

where it destroys a $50 bill I can't
do IT, knowing girlS is too expensive
And Gertrude's Tastes Arc simple.
And Gertrude cOnfides in me that
she loves the movies and likes getting
her own things off the tray at the
