number of years before her mar

relatives present. After her re-

ing with happiness over memo
ries Of the honors bestowed on
her husband, the district attor-
ney, during their summer vaca-
ton trip that took them to De-
troit to attend the K. of P. Con-
vention. In Detroit she says they
visited the office of the attorney
general, the prosecuting attorney
and the Mayor of the city. The
latter sent a private car to the
marvellous Gotham hotel, where
the Bostonians were guests and
escorted them to the plant of the
Ford Motor Company, where q
specially detailed public rela-
tions officer explained the assem-
bly, line. Other cities visited were
Windsor, Ontario; Cleveland and
Toledo, Ohio. In Detroit they
were amazed to see so many
coIored persons holding high po-
sitions. Pat Rainey has been
drawing them in at the High Hat,
where she is the featured singer.
One New York paper, think it
was The New Yorker. called her:
"a barely domesticsted female
panther who whispers lush life
lyrics-a statuescue Juno who
prowls like a young puma, utter
ing her invitations to romance.
