JU DGE fi Noticed several of the girlies lately with stunning new skiing outfits and thought all the time that they were of course im- ported from Switzerland at least .. . . I asked one of them where she got her’s and where do you think they all come from?.....§ Something new for the sub-sub Deb .... it’s called “Red Bug Elec- tric Roadster” ..... looks very much like an enlarged scooter except that it has four wheels and an honest to goodness motor! ..... they're a circus. > Speaking of automobiles, saw some cute fixtures in a Mercedes the other day..... compact, removable mirror and case containing silver combs, brushes, shoehorn, cigarette case and lighter... .. suppose Brother, Dear, would expect a new car for mentioning this! Received a darling Christmas present... .. a combination desk and wrist watch .... it is an ordinary wrist watch with the usual embossed design but by pressing the stem the back swings out on a hinge so that it will stand up... . Junior says he’d rather have a watch he can hang up but don’t understand what he means. > Oh, Dear! already I’ve committed a faux pas! . . . it seems I’ve men- tioned Saks just once too often, and a few catty people intimate that I’ve been subsidized—and they say my column is full of Saks appeal! Tea Rooms..... the old Prince George eee 28 dark, restful and a beautiful trickling, splashing wet fountain! ..... the Russian Eagle ..... I detest Russian Tea Rooms but this one is really quite nice and the music darling.

Now if there is one thing he dislikes it is catching somebody hunting on his property. And if there is one thing I dislike it is getting caught hunting on somebody's property. So, when he caught me, that made it unanimous. Being neighbors, however, we took the whole thing rather good- naturedly. I especially. He was rather nice about it, at that. But he did give me a friendly lecture. He said, in substance: “I don’t like this at all. But, being that it’s you, I won't do anything about it. I'd have anybody else arrested. And another person might have an ex- cuse. But you have none. You have your own place. And, matter of fact, the hunting there is better than it is here. And, despite that, you come here and violate my con- fidence in you. Is it worth it? I don’t like to be harsh, but it isn’t right and these remarks of mine should set you to thinking.” Of course we parted on friendly terms, after I had promised not to get caught there again. And his remarks did set me to thinking. They set me to thinking how he knew the hunting on my place was better than on his. R. C.
