her choice by striking a nice

I Asst Sunday, and we do hope
IL this won't be the last tea
party we can write up, we went
out to the Army-Navy Country
Club, with Major and Mrs. NC
Mullen as our hosts and the
club itself very gay with flowers.
very generous with delicious food
and hoSpitable with a nice
punch and choice Of cocktails
and whiskey soda. Our arrival
there was more interesting than
usual because the flood had
thrown the little bridge over the
driveway out Of commission and
the back road, back of the club
picnic grounds and on out, to-
ward the proverbial Robin Hoods
Barn had to be navigated before
we could reach the door Of the
clubhouse.
MRS. McMULLEN, who is

fascinating in her manner and
conversation, gave us a nice
greeting and then Mrs. Wilbur

about it whatever, and there
were Col. and Mrs. Forrest
Harding and then the stunning
titan haired Melissa ReisS and
q nice Captain CranSton, and
then Mrs. Elliott reappeared to
tell us that her house which she
has Just recently rented was
too attractive, belonged, and de-
finitely, to the horse and buggy
period, and that 1t possessed a
stairway and landing that was
practically made to order for
some beautiful brides wedding.
And-because nobody ever men,
