Georges Clifford is also posing for that fine statue of Apollo that sculptor Lloyd Smith is making. A.: Such honor! DO you plan to see the chariot races also?

Methinks that with Gladys Frank in that chariot as backseat driver we can divert him from the course. May Diana help us. A.: Yes, what honor it will bring to the women of Rome! If only our I orator, Betty Brown, can win the debate with that Greek champion, Bette Reese, we shall gain our rightful place in public life.
