L yesterday q woman who wanted
full details on q trip to Buenos Aires.

the desk. "It's out of our line, you

She did look it up, too. coming back
with full information as to time of
round trip. cost, etc. The woman Gus
toner took down all the data Of the
report submitted to her, then went
over to q seat to study them.
Things like that might surprise
you. or US, but they are not surprising
to those who work in transportation
departments. The girl who dug up
the information just waited, feeling
sure she would know what 1t was all
about before the woman left the place.
What's more, she was right. After
considering all angles of the subject,
the woman finally came over to her
and said:
Il was not going to Buenos Aires
myself. I was Just thinking Of the
Presidents trip. Personally I don't
think he will be back in time for in
auguration."

SUCCESSFUL

The mems dinner and program
at Bethesda Wednesday afternoon
and evening was provocative of
many surprises - most of them
pleasant. The dinner itself was
wonderfully cooked, competently
served, the dining room artistical-
ly decorated, and the women,
though delightfully."- treated, were
yet disappointed that there was no
fault to be found. The evenings
program, again without feminine
help, proved amusing, entertaining,
and all that had been promised.
AS a finale, the women declared
that the men were all right, and
promised never again to say diff
ferently. A mems club was quick
ly organized at the close of the
evenings program. Officers were
chosen, and Pastor w. E. Wadling-
ton named supervisor.
