0ENATOR CARL HATCH, Of
~ New Mexico, has q gentle
and yet tremendously subtle
humor. Yesterday at luncheon
we were discussing people. The
fact that some were so happy in
their associations with others,
and the fact that other people,
equally attractive as the former
group, were somehow left out
entirely.
"Well, it depends on the per
son." said Senator Hatch, "and
their own approach" He
laughed and then told a story
which illustrated his point de-
lightfully. There was a man he
knew who left his community
in search of a new place to
settle. Arriving at a likely spot,
he asked one of the neighboring
farmers about this particular
community. The farmer told
him it was nice, thriving and
filled with excellent citizens.
Then the farmer asked the man
why he had left his former COM
munity.
Because" replied the man.
"the people were stupid, I never
liked any of them, and they
were all selfish" The farmer
gave the man q look. "You
wouldn't like this community"
he told the man. "you had bet
ter go elsewhere.
Shortly afterwards another
man arrived at this same COM
munity and he and the farmer
went through the same thing.
However, when the farmer asked
his reason for leaving, the man
replied, "Just to expand" And
added that his neighbors were
kind, excellent and grand friends
to him. Then-the farmer said.
"Well, you will like this COM
munity. Settle down and stay"
MARJORIE GARLAND, so ru-

mind don't occur, to be married
while she is there.

nR. AND MRS. THOMAS CA
II JIGAS had a very gay and
very nice supper party the other
night to say farewell to the
Warren Andrews and to welcome
Phyllis Fergus Hoyt, President
of the National League Of Amer
ican Pen Women. There was a
delicious Spanish supper and
much impromptu entertainment
afterwards. Phyllis Hoyt, who
is a darling, sat down at the
piano and sang her well-known
song, "In the Usual Way" and
then sang her newest song
titled, "The Lament of a Debu-
tante." A gay little number
which, among other things,
made every woman over IS feel
no end fascinating and what
not.
Phyllis also told us that Car
rie Jacobs Bond was coming on
for the Breakfast and the fact
that Mrs. Bond looked so fresh
and radiant that she, Phyllis,
asked her how she did it. Mrs.
Bond told her very simply. II
just put the old lady to bed un-
til 12 every day" AS. Mrs. Bond
is nearly 73, and looks nowhere
near it, this prescription is, evi-
IDENTIFY, something.
MRS. NED BRUNSON HAIR
W1 RIS' tea, which has al
ready been written about and
was delightful, was highlighted
by one very amusing incident
which happened to Jim Wright
and which he told everyone
with a great deal Of glee. 1t
seems that Jim was talking to
Mrs. Harris and waiting for a
scotch and soda. Just then one
of the wsiters came up and
whispered to Mrs. Harris that
they need more scotch"
More SCOTCH" repeated Mrs:
Harris, and before she could
continue, the waiter hastened to
add, "Well, Mrs. Harris, you
know how it is when the Grid
ironerS come to a party" And
just then, another waiter
