22 UPPER ARLINGTON ANNUAL No wonder, too, that with us she was bored. Who wouldn’t be? Now she has married a lord. A newspaper clipping, “The Fuller’s announce The wedding of daughter next May.” And, wrapped up in her home, I’ve not heard from her since, A wee trifle rude, I might say. That is, heard direct, as society matron She’s bound to appear as a “such and such patron!’’ Last night on the front page, unusual it was, Was the print of a man and his name, Ivan Creager, who says “Let Men Vote, I Implore.” It can’t—yes, it must be the same. What’s the world coming to? they their banners unfurl— “Votes for Men!” not the same as when I was a girl. What else can I find—Oh, for Pete’s sake, what’s that?
