Friday. Saturday and Sunday-three
entire days OF leisure. Billy ana
Helene and I have been talking and
making plans for that weekend for
the last week, and we still haven't
decided definitely what to do. OF
course. what We want TO do Is 70 get
away TO the country some place, and
we already have m invitation 70
visit Billy's sister. Helene has been
asked. too. think that's what weu
finally decide TO do.
We can't leave until Friday morn
ing. however, because Thursday
night Is the date Of the Spring dance
OF Biily's fraternity-an annual al
fair that he wouldn't think OF miss
ing. One or Billy's old classmates
IL coming on from the West for this
dance is to escort Helene.
OF course. Helene bought q new
evening dress. I can't really blame
her this time. though. for you know
I bought one myself q little while
age which I haven't yet worn. and
Helene hasn't had m new one in quite
some time.
I'm sure Billy's friend won't ever
want to leave town again when he
sees Helene in her new frock. It's
really n charming creation or dusty
pink chiffon with its bodice handed
attractively IN pastel lame. It's skirt
has a graceful flared tier. The bod
ice Il slightly shirred. and In effect
the gown achieves q Grecian silhou-
cite. Only someone Of Helene's tall,
sylphlike build could wear this model
becomingiy.
7 know we're going to have u grand
time at the dance. and it's wonderful
10 know that following 1t we're to
have three days In the country with
nothing 70 do but rest and play.
