Two souls that demand attentionl
We observed . . . (while peeking around a
lady's large hat at the concert the other,
night) that: Britain may not fare so well
when knitters work during concerts at the
high school. Once drop a ball of yarn and
ifs away down front in no time. The com
munity concerts should graduate from the
HS auditorium this fall. : They : spent two
years at Leslie, and three at the high school.
Unless something , happens (he membership
will be too large, come next season. Why
are people with the largest hats and the big
gest heads, always moving them around?
Instructions were to have a four-foot strip of
paper from the dressing room to the farthest
plana The local .management followed di
rections but when Ethel Barflett saw - our,
dean hardwood floor on fee stage, 'she
scorned paper and : walked ca the : floor
without fear of soiling hsr long gown.
Feel better . about our anonymous lsl
ter. We got an extra nice, nota, signed cf
course, which made tip for the unsigned
note of last week. Thanks from . Maxine
