WA DRAWS tea given for Ned
Brunson Harris, president Of the
Newspaper Women's Club, with
Ned wearing a ely away hat"
that shrieked Paris, with all Of
us so glad to see Mrs. Macondray
once more (she has been out in
California; with wee hot biscuits
filled with Smithfield ham, the
piece de resistance Of the entire
tea table, and with Roberta
Bradshaw sending everyone
into gales of laughter with her
sad mistake.
The mistake being that Ro-
berta had alighted from the
motor which had brought her,
but had anghted in the wrong
driveway. Mrs. Macondray'S
house was a half mile further
away and Roberta had to walk
in the deep dusk, along that
lonely Virginia road until she
got to the right driveway and
house. Roberta's feet, so she
thinks, will never be the same
again nor any good whatever to
her.
