Bouquets to Helen Kurtz, secretary, for having turned in the highest score of the day, 214, which is 62 strokes back of Artemis Komenos. The exploding golf balls furnished considerable amusement to the gallerites, but not to little Clady May. She was absolutely scared stiff, and ran screaming from the markers back to her boy friend, who was just able to keep her from becoming hysterical. Bill Whitley, A.S.C., had about as good a time as anyone on the ninth green, where he sat “cranking” the girls as they finished.

The Colberts “blessedeventing” again. Bill Claxton sealing the BETTY WILCOX heart-throb with a gegorgeous sparkler. George Weiss buying that new Chrysler Imperial car. Allen McNeil’s new summer wardrobe — and everything made to order. Fay Walker’s new hillside home. Al De Gaetano entertaining on a lavish scale at his new beach home. Walter Thompson’s new car — top down and quite swanky. Barney Wolf ordering a la carte — instead of the usual plate lunch.
