to become the social lions OF the
Pickled Onion set if their activities
of the other night are any indlca-
ton Of what they intend to keep
on doing. There is no double mean
ing here, either. There are people
who liked picked onions, and people
who don't like picked onions. There
are no half way measures in TINS
matter of affection for picked
onions. either. The people who like
pickled onions are ready to die for

Most notable thing about the
yellow cat .ince he came to live
