A wife writes: 1.-THE other day,
after my husband and I arrived
home from shopping in the hot
city, I changed into shorts and
my husband made himself COM
Portable by removing his shirt.
After awhile the doorbell rang
and it was two very dear friends
of ours. When I turned and saw
that my husband had not put on
his shirt 1 was terribly embar-
rassed. They stayed only a short
while and then left. I thought my
husband was very wrong in not
having excused himself and put
on his shirt, but he argues that I
was just as unsuitably dressed

Concerned About Weather
Warrentonians were unani-
nous on Saturday in their wish
for rain that day to cut down on
the heat, dust and so forth. But
they definitely weren't interested
in a repeat of last years Sunday
weather when the downpour was
such that it was almost necessary
to call everything off. Yester-
days weather, while not of the
all-day torrential variety, was
nothing to be happy about but
the show went on. Today's fore
casted clear weather gave the
working and observing partic-
ipantS heart.
Among social events planned
for today were two luncheons,
both for exhibitors and judges at
the show. Part of the group went
to Broadview Farm, home of Mr..
and Mrs. William E. Schluse-
meyer. who took over the estate

OF 84-year-old Clark Griffith at

"came out of a clear sky" as he
had no inkling Of it. But the
younger Grifdth's recent deal
with Boston, sending Jackie Jen-
sen to the Red Sox for Maury

"everybody's on vacation"
Although Calvin has been heir
apparent to the presidency of
the ball club since joining the

action virtually guarantees him
the eventual leadership. Uncle
