year, which will break their an

Chicago this morning but his very
attractive wife will stay here at
least until the end of next week or
until the excitement starts.
And who wouldn't under these
Word has it that you
cannot count on air conditioning
in your hotel room at the con-

new house off Woodland drive has
this summer life saver completely |
throughout.
South America Bound
The Senator and his lady are
however, planning a vacation to
South America. When, that is a
1ebatable question. The man of
jhe house would like to go this
but Mrs. Monroney pre-

election.

ily, Mr.. and Mrs. William Bradley
usually go to Walpole.
