at the counter, talking about
the new styles for PanamaS,
q man came into the shop.
A strange looking man, with
a bundle under his arm!
Unwrapping the bundle, he took
out a pair Of shoes run down
at the heels. Then he-the
strange looking man-leaned
over and whispered hoarsely to
the shoemaker:
Rubber heels for President
Roosevelt'S shoes!"
"Gee!" said the shoemaker.
Naturally, the fellow with the
Panama was interested. He
thought he would investigate a
little. He moved over boldly.
On the lining Of the shoes Of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the ace
of the New Deal, the man who
says he is going to bring pros

Here is bit of high up Demo
cratic propaganda:
The Secretary Of War and
Mrs. Dern are going to lend
their place, Highwood, in
Chevy Chase to the Women's
National Democratic Club for
the Annual Garden Card Party
on May %.
The card parties of the club
have been pleasant events Of
several Washington springs.
Highwood is a particularly fine
estate, and will make charm
ing setting for the Democratic
ladies and many Of their Repub-
lican friends who can't bear to
miss the delightful occasion.
Parties are sometimes merely
people and bridge and food
and conversation and fatigue
the next day.
The other night a "Post De-
preston Dinner" was given by
Mr.. and Mrs. Howe P. Cochran
at the Chevy Chase Club and
was so cleverly managed that
the guests felt they had ven
tured into a new atmosphere
