Whitehill shushed him, at the

hitting of the day. Robert began
to burn. Hoppy made it worse by
adding:
"FothergilI never could hit

Then il began. In real clubhouse

and Mrs. Hopkins were speeches..
A few sought the nearest exit.
The baroness made an effort to
console Robert. showing at the
same time that she was regular.
Everything Is all right, Mr..
Fothergill. These men are maxi

are mean to do so, even IL you
can't-what you call it-hit left

me, Mr.. Robert, with your
American words"
THE PAYOFF BLOW
Bob eyed her coldly and we
knew the party was over. The
baroness, with all good intentions,
had also told him he could not hit.
Little GIRL" he said, "who
could insult you? You don't
know how lucky you are to be
having dinner with a couple of
$50 hitters."
The hostess slid under the table.
Hoppy's laughter toppled him from
the chair. The place was in an
uproar. We retired TO another
room and finished dinner. buffet

Before the evening ended Bob,
as usual, was the hit of the show.
