and then the very next day some one
called me to find out why I hadn't
written to You, so here 1 am again.

can't seem to find very much news
to put in the paper. Oh, there's

want to tell that they are having q
luncheon OF entertaining, for feaI

| would hear. of it and have their feel

tually, and anyway one should know
that it isn't possible to have all one.
