erogeneous city. But of course it

It would give Vernon a prestige
that almost nothing else could give.
They must use It on the door of
their ear, and on their stationery.
The Tyson crest which Mrs. de Bray
would laboriously unearth must
adorn the invitations to be sent out
for Vernon’s debutante party.
Tactfully she let it be known thst
the usual fee for so-called “profes-
sionals” at this work was exorbi-
tant. “And in the end, very
often there’s not a thing to show
for it—it’s Just a racket!” she de-
clared. But with herself at the helm
and with her unusual channels of
information, it would be entirely
different.

dear Mrs. Tyson, but my mind runs

“You ain’t so far wrong. They
