And she and Page tally with content About the comic element. Society leaders, Margot and Brown, Sparing a moment from Country and Town, Enter smartly and with great style, Comparing social successes the while. Robinson's wrapped up in deep meditations Over the problems of Foreign Relations, While Congress and Roosevelt anxiously wait The Foreign Policy plan she'll formulate. Bidgood and Midge in a corner are waging A contest to see whose laugh's more engaging. ls it giggles or gufaws you find most effective Or does it depend mostly on your objective 9 M cAlpin arrives, having left Wimbledon. fYou needn't aslf. Of course, she has won., The first thing she does, much to our dismay, ls to open the window-all the way!! With her notes on the War Course in one hand Franlfie's reconstructing the war-torn land. But she's worried now to a great degree For she's somehow misplaced the lecture three.

How many of you would have interest in Some singing? shouts Pewes above the din. Very few answer because, alas, We never were a musical class.
