GIRL ABOUT
TOWN
BY MARILYN'

Did you ever accept the vice presi-
dency of an organization harboring
the SNUG little idea in the back of
your weary mind that this was a
very smart thing to do because all
you'd have to do all year would be
to sit around and be a yes-man to
the president? Did you ever? And
then did the president calmly walk
out on you and 60 to Chicago to play
with a boy friend and leave you to
preside at the only meeting the or
ganization had all year? Did she?
Me, too.
Well, after several thousand tele-
phonic communications between
and among Dorothy Dietz, Adele
Panther, Mrs. Robert Winslow and
Mrs. John Curry, and me, the
Tudor Hall Alumnae ASsociatio1
probably will have a nice luncheon
at the Woodstock Saturday noon if
l don't leave Tor Wyoming or do
something big and important before
then!
Somebody in a careless moment
I think it might have been MI.
Hornbrook-suggested that since We
were handling a large scholarship
fund in the Tudor Hall Alumnae
Association we ought to incorporate
I didn't want to very much because
I'd Just had a wisdom tooth pulled
and I didn't want to do anything
shat sounded that serious again for
a Ions time. But Mr.. Baltzeil
assured me it was practically pain
less so I let myself be talked into
tim so weakminded that way
positively feminine. But when I
examined all the rigors of articles
sections and bylaws 1 decided we
didn't want to run any competition
to the Democratic convention, so
constitution committee had better
be appointed pronto.
Then Peg Winslow, on whom we
were depending for all the next
years nominations, decided that life
was no longer worth living without
a weekend at MaXinkuckee, so off
she goes in that unconscious fashion
that is so effective but so hard to
bear I feel just like that iocund
coda of Dorothy Parker's last vol
ume, Sunset Cum" which you must
read if you haven't already NOV
please don't let anything interfere)
There's little in taking or giving.
There's little in water or wine:
This living. this living. this living
Was never a project of mine
Oh. hard is. the struggle. and sparse is
The gain Of the one at the top.
For art is form of catharsis.
And love is permanent flop.
AA nd WORK work Is is the province Of e2ttle'
So I'm thinking Of throwing the battle
Would you kindly direct me to he'll?
And all you'll read in the papers
is that the Tudor Hall Alumnae As
ISOLATION met at the Woodstock for
its annual luncheon. The decora-
tions were pink and white peonies
and marguerites. You won't read a
thing about the tremendous emo
tional undercurrents and what-nots
or how mad I am about Gems go
ing to Chicago in that haphazard
manner and leaving me to con-
duct a meeting who never even
heard of Roberts Rules of Order!
n Il
DR.. and Mrs. Amos drove us out
to Mr.. and Mrs. Will Aliens coun-
try place, Sunday, and it was love-
ly perfumed riot of all the pastel
shades - huge shaggy peonies,
masses of roses, and great clumps
of iris. Regal lemon lilies by the
side of the fish pool gazed aC their
reflections to see If their pretty
noses were properly powdered with
yellow pollen powder. We came
home with the car loaded down
with peonieS and daisies and would
have brought home the willow tree
too, but it said it didn't want to
comet was too used to central
time. Louise Allen has hair cut
like Greta Carlo. very effective.
The next big thing I have
planned is getting a permanent
wave tomorrow morning and then
I'm going out to Bah Finley's for
dinner tomorrow night and see how
near I can talk her into going out
to a ranch in Estes Park, called the
Phantom Valley Ranch--isn't that
the most fascinating name you ever
heard? And all anyone does out
there is ride horseback, and me, I
haven't been near a horse since I
had appendicitis three years ago, so
you can readily see that I shall have
bigger and better summer in
Dracficallv every Wav
