Most amusing of the bad
image that was tossed in all
directions all week end flew
back and forth between
brother and sister at Mrs.
George Mesta's luncheon for
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Ives at
the Sulgrave Club.
At the end of the meal
Perle stood up to toast "Buf-
fie" Ives, "a good friend and
a noted authoress." Every
body raised his glass to the
well-known visitor who
penned MY Brother Adlai"
Just before Adlai's last I'M

At this point Gov. Steven
sons eyes lit on Speaker Sam
Rayburn sitting beside his
sister. You'd better be care

book about you." he called
from the next table.
Midst the laughter that
followed that brotherly re-
mark Mrs. Ives quickly re-
tailiated with a sisterly COM
ment: It am going to stand
on my own two feet and not
on my brothers big feet this
time" she said as she rose.
Then she paid her hostess
a nice compliment: I'VE
didn't get into the White
House but we have become a
friend of Perle Mesta's."
Called on next, Gov. Ste
venson observed laughing,
"Buffie used to say I always
approached things with an
open mouth. / am glad she's
switched to the other ex-
tremitieS."
Ed Foley praised Adlai and
Mr.. Sam for contributing so
much to the success of the
dinner and he proposed q
toast to the Speaker.
Urged to respond, Mr..
Rayburn said, THE Demo-
Gratis are on the march again.
I don't know about 1860 but
I know what they are going
to do in 1882. Observing
that by the 1858 elections he
will have been Speaker six

UNCLE SAM FROM SYCAMORE WRITES:

with a wax mustache in Paris
got a new idea.
And there ought to be law
agin the catalogue coming out
and saying winners dresses
will be foot longer this fall
than last. This is a new form
of taxation, what you might call
hidden" tax, hiding a gals legs
and hiding the tax all at the
same time. Congress has already
took notice of fluctuations in
other things, fer instant the
price of cotton can't fluctuate
more'n a certain amount per bale
from one day to another. I'd like
to see a law saying the length of
a woman's skirt couldn't flue-
uate more'n one inch in any one
year. It'd save a heap of money.
But with them Wall Street boys
having a heavy interest in the
garment industry, I amt got no
real hopes fer such law.

me not to worry about such
things. betteEi if I'd just go along
