On next Friday night Ramon
will dust off his best October
smile and extend the glad hand

Mr.. Ford at the Lafayette has a
couple of new rooms for small
parties etc. that are said to be

him for an invitation to look
them over. Maybe they blossom
later into a new dancing spot.
Visiting italian students took
over Michel one night in the past
