Polite society will be present en masse with low-neck dress suits and genuine imitation complexions. Mr. and Mrs. J. Willoughby Jenkins, leaders of our smart set, have left to spend the summer at their country seat, Willough- by-Manor-by-the-Sea, It used to be a barn, but they put a bay window on it and installed an outside chimney, and it is now a manor by brevet. It is a great place for weak-end parties. The parties who go there are weak J. Willoughby has not paid his subscription to the Megaphone for nine years.
