The society editors want to
know about functions at the White

women want news about social

want news about the comings and

Mrs. Roosevelt's face is a series

Family Affairs, Too

A tall son, or one of the yellow

An hour passes and the group
breaks up. Those with "dead-

linger to speak to the hostess
who like any hostess remains
standing and talking until the last
