MOSTLY ABOUT PEOPLE
Went to the HORSE SHOW....but didn’t get even a
glimpse of a horse... .’Twas so very crowded.. .had to get
ours by remote control You would have thought there
was no such thing as rationing... .We thought perhaps the
gasoline shortage.. .wodld keep lots of folk from getting
out that far But they must have walked... because if
anything there were more than last year.
’Twas so that if you got in one place you had to stay there
r .. .and we were.. .caught at the bar just when.. .MR. ROX
BOROUGH told BILLY BURKE.. .that there were only five
more cases of ale... .When we finally extricated our feeble
bodies... .people were cheering lustily... .the MUSICAL
CHAIRS number.. which was the last event, meaning that
it was all over.... But we did see lots of people.. .which was
really what we went for.
The place was beautifully spotted with uniformed f01k...
many of those.. .pretty lieutenants from Selfridge... and
their ladies both local.. .and imported.
CAPTAIN JAMES RAMSEY...was positively glamorous
...in his white summer dress uniform... .Saw LIEUTEN
ANT PUGHSLEY...with a striking hlonde Handsome
LT. BILL WALKER.. .who turns out to be a Virginian. ..
and there for a bit of all right with us LIEUTENANT
KNOX.. .LT. AND MRS. BILL WOMACK...and she is a

naivete.
GLADYS AND RUTII GILES. . had a couple of “Louies”
In tow...and were introducing them around.

found a place to dine in comfort on the veranda... .We did
have a moment to ask Mary about her schooling at. . .Ann
Arbor... .She has been there all summer, you know. . .and
loves it....DR. AND MRS. GILBERT EDWARDS...in the
smartest in sports attire.. were showing his mother about
the place She is so petite. . .really cute.
ANN SIMPSON seemed to be.. .chummy with. . .SONNY
WILSON... .She looked fetching in a suit and dutch bonnet
.. JACQUE MALLORY. . was rather the dashing grass
widow...in a purple suit...and black accents... .VELMA
BRANAM... .with her sister. MRS. ROSE JOHNSON of
Chicago... and cute MARGIE McCLANE of Boston, were
sort of stagging it for the day...the men folk in Idlewild.
„ . .JEANNE WAUNDLESS has gone Latin in a big way ..
since her engagement to the Cuban lad.. . She looked like
a senorita ROSE CAMPBELL. . .with her sister.. .MRS
LAURA KATE PICKENS Caught just a glimpse of
• CUTIE" ROXBOROUGH. . .and LUCY BELLE MORRIS,
both were in beige.
IRIS RF.LL ...was darling in. a
tv^ite suite . and large b.ack sail
or she was with CALVIN POR
TER
ATTY LLOYD LOOMIS ...and
h.s kiddies ..LOUISE. BARBARA
and JOHNNIE. ..walking hand in
hand down the long expanse lead
ing up to the club house.
ALBERTA SIMMS... .looking as
rare aa a day in June ..clinging to
BASSETT JONES (He wears two
tripe* if we remember correctly)
..he i* home for fifteen days...
MR. LUCAS.. assures us that it is
his Wife. Rhea's, sister and not his
who is married to BILL ROUTT.
BEULAH CUZ7.ENS ...in a white
suit...and white flowers in her
hair.. looking like a. . .Tahitian...
etc, etc... There were just thou
sands of folk .. and ...where on
earth did AGNES JOHNS manage
to find that chair ...We envied her.
.. Our poor feet were just dead
l.terally by the time ue ...found
©urselves on the way back to De
troit and f00d... There wasn’t a
•peck to be had there . everything
sold out...indeed we heard a man
