{, Mr.. VaSs Is
q 30 keen about
the convention
= he's ordered a -
fpre convention DONbAH HAHS
get-together dinner on April rs
ct the Columbia Country CLUB.
It's the tenth set-to-rather,
! preconvention dinner.
Mr.. VasS is a very swell person.
- However, we take exception to
the grammar he used in the invi-
: tation he sent to us. He forgot
...one Of the rules-maybe you
i know it-the adverb of time
always precedes the adverb OF
place.
- You may be doubtful, so we
quote:
=; "The District of Columbia
Bankers Association will hold
: its tenth annual precOnvent1On
- get-together dinner at the Co
lumbia Country Club on
: Wednesday evening, April rs,
- ut 1880 o'clock"
Well be willing to bet any sum
!. that Mr.. Vass knows better, and
. that if you ask him about it he
= will blame it on Miss Gladys M.
+ Kerr assistant secretary of the
: association.
Miss Kerr has to take a 1c OF
/ kInishment these days, but she
Z does it in a constructive way.
