oh, yes, some one just asked me
if I finally attended hat "Tea" FOR
which 1 had two tickets. The ans
wer is no. The reason-well that
will have to be explained.
Sunday AFTERNOON, I got to think
ing that inasmuch as I did have two
tickets that perhaps I could go and
get twice as much to eat. You
know I love to eat. But then !
didn't know what to do at a Tea and
SO I consulted Emily Posts Book
on Etiquette and I found that at a
Tea one must slowly sip tea; and
lightly partake of dainty edibles;
and converse. And then Emily Post
also mentioned the correct attire
for men to wear while attending
teas. Thatlet me out for even If I
had the correct attire I certainly
could not have enjoyed eating in
them-even to slipping tea and daint-
lily munching waters.
And so I decided to go to Aunt
Mary's soup kitchen where I could
gurgle my tea if I wanted to, and
where 1 could ravenously devour
hog jowls, or gatherings, and if 1
wanted to 1 could groan or grunt in
stead OF c~onversing, and what's
more I could even go in my over
alls.

Still another letter: It's from Aug

~letterhead tells me that he is a per-

that he is the author Of the articles.

And he e~ncloses a list Of twelve
problems that he can, presumably,
attempt to overcome for misfits in
life. His problem number five,

to understand people, and to control

me;
"Mr. Mitchell, 1 read where every

sell you a thing. l want to give vol
something. Here, take this little
booklet. 1t is free. 1 want you to

you get through reading it if you
feel like making a contribution, it
will be appreciated"
How about that line, G. G? That's

AT least the booklet introduces me
to the Seventh Day Adventist act

The stage show, for what appear

interesting to me, simply because
the characters were new to me.

Well, by the time they were

they started singing and really it
sounded good. Testimonials We're

Mrs. Duff she not only testified but
she offered up prayers for me, and

I then sat and listened to the

He, himself, apparently, got tired
of talking that he would go first to

down (stiI talking) and this he kept

And writing of church, c. c. re-

Uses to fulfill. 1 promised the
Scott's-the Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Scott, Of 1872 Binney Street, that I
would go to six o'clock la with
them some morning. Imagine that,
1 was frank to tell them that I was
in a Catholic church but once in my
life and that was when, one night,
in Montevedio, Urugay, I had been
out all night with a prominent club
man and when it came early morn
ing he insisted on going to COMES
son-I believe he called it. I looked
at him and wondered if he really
meant he was going to confess ev-
erything we had been doing AL
night, but he was sincere. 1 went
with him. We entered the cathe-
dral at early morn. I didn't know
what to do but 1 thought by doing
everything he did I would be OK
SO 1 aped him. Well inside Of half
an hour, after bobbing up and down
so much 1 nearly fell out from dir
illness and then my friend went into
the private quarters of the Priest
1 guess he was a Priest-he had a
robe on and two boys carrying his
trail. Eventually the Confession
was over. My friend must have
felt better for we continued our

stand he used to be on 'big time

was all about. A yard full Of swings
Fairgrounds, etc. 1 met a Mrs.
Taylor executive secretary, 1 be-
lieve, and a Mrs. Wilson, the exc
cutive head of the Woodson Center.
She explained something about the
Center being financed through The
Community Chest and offered coolies
of reason for the need Of such 2
Center. Finally she invited me 10
hop in her car while she took me
out to the two garden projects that
the Center was Instrumental in or
