Miss Flynn has been introducing her

not yet a debutante. At Mrs. Rose
yelt's tea the striking appearance OF

Miss Turner is a real live beauty. She
spent the holidays in New York. Her
type is so attractive that people always
inquire who she is."
We agree with all the New Yorker

mor charming manners. She makes
friends wherever she goes and Okla
