THE COMMENT, 1934 Scott Smith is a high pressure ad salesman for annuals. He runs a bureau where he either gets your ads or-I l l-xxx-oo-etc. Scott was always good, even in his high school days. Harold Utleyls specialty now is roasting chickens, feathers and all and serving them as a new kind of sand- wich- The Feathers of Paradise Tasty Bit. Isobel Wahrer is now, due to C.'s suggestion and inspiration, digging and tinting Nitrates from those precious beds of Nitrates found in Chile. Isobel has discovered, all over again, that it really must have taken five or seven birds to make those beds. So you see how seriously eating too much can affect one's sweet dreams. Although this dream was interesting to me and I hope to you also, I do not wish for another. Write to me very soon. Love, Aunt Suzan. TWENTY-SEVEN
