the honored guest and Barbara
Johnston helped celebrate the
eighth birthday of Barbara Bamp-
ton.
Has anyone an old lamp shade
that they don't need? Dee John-
son would certainly appreciate it
and needs it badly.
Mrs. Cole, if you should find
that you have a dress nnssing,
Carol might be able to explain
about it. She's trying err moth-
ers dresses these days.
If the mothers of Roberts
Schwarck and Cathy Byars are
concerned because the girls seem
so busy and studying so hard they
will be able to concentrate on
something else soon. Lynn Cram-
er was looking for an old pot or
pan last-week. We hope that Mrs.
Cramer hasn't missed any of hers.
Mrs. Bell, if Betsy should be
standing in front of the mirror
putting hair bows in her hair and
acting very young, she's practicing
to be a young girl.
We sincerely hope that Arleuc
Gott doesn't develop a dual per-
sonality these days. She's trying
so hard to be two people. Mrs.
Dickte, don't become alarmed if
H, adon is at, Ling very boyish these
days.
Please. mothers of :IrowniPs ill
troop No, 8, the mystery of all tile
secrets will be solved in the early

very hard to show you how much
Brownies can really accomplish.
