Wearing the well-known Flora
dora girl costume, the ladies sing
a song which begins:
Our bloom of youth is faded,
We may look slightly jaded
But we feel we must not be over
looked.
We may lDt act so sprightly
But still we're not unsightly-
It's hardly fair to say our goose
is cooked!
When the plan for this skit was
outlined for the ladies, we heard that
at first there were absolutely no
volunteers for the part. But now
these six mot unsightly" Junior
Leaguers have stepped forth and are
having a grand time practicing
their roles, and this act will un-
doubtedly be one of the most pop-
ular of the group.
The Junior League, of all things.
seems to be having a bit of trouble
from the husbands of the members.
1t seems that some of them feel it
bit undignif1ed of their wives to
suddenly turn into Follies girls, and
a few have even gone so far as to
request the ladies of the house not
to participate. Lovely Mrs. Harry
H. Woodring, wife of the Secretary
OF War, for instance, was expected
to take part in the Follies, and
would have been delightful men,
Der OF the cast. but Mr.. Woodring,
we hear, turned thumbs down on
the idea.
