HYHEN Will the ban be lifted?
w 1t seems to be the burning
question of the hour, for the
novelty OF having mo place to 60
but home" is beginning to get bit
wearisome. However, even this time
OF sickness and sorrow has IT'S silver
lining. for those fortunate mortals
who escaped the deadly "flu" have
had lovely time, and renewing the
long forgotten custom of calling is
being revived. @a
With the hurry and hustle Of
twentieth century life the art of call
ing was completely obsolete and
ones friends seldom came except by
special invitation. We are hearing
these fall days of delightful Sunday
evenings when few friends, only a
very few (Dr. Manning please note)
are having cozy supper parties to-
gether. Afternoon calls enlivened
by a cup of tea are becoming quite
the vogue and we are wondering if
this enjoyable custom of the golden
days before the war will survive
after we are allowed to come and go
as we please.
