with a gorgeous centerpiece
of long-Stemmed Gala lilies
and filmy sprays of yellow

with its long stem tucked
into the fern, marked each
place, with the name of the
guest written on it in gilt
letters.
To Mrs. Weeks goes the
credit of being the first per-

with the effect, the hostess
wore a very smart green

His expression was unchanged
as the clerk read the verdict:

to drag along everything from
fighting to living material, and
even their supply of water.
Physica, endurance in itself will
be stretched to the breaking
point.

making a general advance into
Ethiopia, the Italians will not
