behold it happened thusly: Mrs. -------
was asked to take n table at bridge
which was given several days ago for
charity. She, all enthusiasm, frankly
asked one of her friends. Then other So
cia duties, the Red Cross work and
Weekend party crowded the affair out
Of her mind and she completely forgot to
ask the other two women to play at her
table.
Well. the day of the bridge party ar
rived, and thinking that she would go a
little early and pick up two others our
4 friend donned her best frock and sailed
4 forth. She found the other woman, her
pnly guest, waiting for her. but mercy

with laughter but not wishing to be un'

Moral: Call up your friends before going
TO the same parties, ascertain the color
