Johnny Perkins, who is playing
at the Capitol Theater this week,
the same as Sheila, had us all in
gales of laughter with his expe-
riences in the recent beauty con-
test at Atlantic City. He was one
of the judges. Johnny, who
drinks nothing but orangeadeS

would think possible, was COM

Theater with another equally
huge theater in Detroit.

MRS. JOSE LEWIS, wife of
1X1 the well known Panamt
ian surgeon; Mrs. Charles Nc
Ernerny, wife of the genial
doctor and Senorita Stella
Amores, dark-eyed Cuban, were
among those invited on a week
end to the summer place of DR..
and Mrs. Tomas Cajigas, for
the celebration of the Cajigas'
wedding anniversary. Every
thing, as is the way with any
party the CajigaSes give, was
lovely, until the last day, then
a series of trivial mishaps oc.
CURED to one or the other
guests. And-MrS. McErnerny
fell down the cellar Stairs-Mrs.
Lewis stumbled over a stool and
gave her ankle a nasty crack
and Senorita Amores, no sooner
settled down in q porch swing
than the whole thing collapsed
with and practically on top of
her.
Naturally there was much
bandaging, laying on of lini-
mentS and what and when this
femme trio left, the last thing
they said to DR.. Cajigas was
that no good would come of
their appearance back in town,
particularly when they informed
everyone, that all these things
had descended upon them, at
his h ouSe-party. And-Dr.
CajigaS who can and does take
a joke, beautifully, is neverthe-
less, back in town himself, and
doing a tremendous lot Of

how everything really happened.
MRS. ROBERT PATTERSON
4EA of the shining golden hair,
is still getting a giggle out Of a
recent incident. Just before
leaving New Orleans, where she
had been visiting, Mrs. Patter-
son made a tour Of the antique
shops, hoping to find something
to put on her memory bracelet.
Finally she discovered a tiny
gold pelican and because she
liked it and the pelican is the
State bird of Louisiana, she
bought it and promptly attached
it to her bracelet.
Coming back on the train,
Mrs. Patterson noticed that a
woman sitting across from her
was very much interested in the
pelican. Finally the woman
could stand it no longer, so she
came over, introduced herself,
as Miss So and So, informed
Mrs. Patterson she had been
keenly interested in "that gold
Stork" on the bracelet and
asked if she wore it because
she belonged to Margaret
Sanger'S organization? Mrs.
Patterson hastily and carefully
explained that "the Stork" was
really a pelican, that she didn't
belong to Margaret Sanger's or
ganization, and then was mad
for four hours later, because she
forgot to ask the woman why
a Stork and Margaret Sanger's
organization should be synono-
nous!
