Joe Letter, just off Florida
Avenue, don't blame Repeal.
Don't blame the horses or the
colts. Above all, don't blame
Mrs. Letter.
Blame Johnny SWope, from
New York, who has converted
the hay loft of the Letter
stable into an apartment. And
by some extraordinary arrange
ment had defied most of the
rules of physics and got a baby
grand piano hoisted beyond

I hear so many agreeable
things about Marian Worth
ington, that I have come to
the conclusion that she must
be like her pretty mother,
Mrs. Ralph Worthington. Both
mother and daughter give
amusing parties. Did you hear
about Marian's recent buffet
supper when Natalie Keeney
told fortunes and revealed
paStS, presents and futures with
courage and imagination?
How pleasantly disposed
toward the world at large Mar
garet Sanger has been, and how
happily the world has repaid
Mrs. Sanger. You know the Mar
garet Sanger who has foSteted
the birth control movement for
years, and has done so awfully
well with her cause.
Twelve years ago, one of my
journalistic friends tells me, she
was sent to report a meeting
arranged by that Mrs. Sanger"
in a little room of a Jewish
Community Center, in an OBJ
scure section of Brooklyn. My
friend was sent not to report
the proceedings of Mrs. Sanger's
meeting-one didn't mention
birth control in the papers then
except as a police court item.
