cities in the USA every day for two weeks just to prove that people are blind. In broad daylight she even requested a policeman to take her picture, which he did!!!! The entire sorority is presently being treated for ulcers, nervous breakdowns, hysteria and still hasn't recovered from the shock. d) Case of the mixed up girl. Sees a psychiatrist regularly and then dashes home after each sess- ion to doll up. Rumor has it that by now the psychiatrist is ser- iously considering seeing a psychiatrist. e) Chuckle of the month. She keeps showing up

The sister who has definitely quit dressing. in exquisite finery. Each time is the last. f) An orchid for Bar- bara Stevens from the East. The gals over here like her style and approach. g) Gail and Lee went formal at Gloria's New Year's party. Gail trying to look virginal in her new white gown, custom-made, well as Lee's, by our favorite dressmaker Helen Lancaster. Even Vickie is having a new formal for the NVA Ball set for March 30th at the Manhattan Center. Most of us are planning to be there. f) And speaking of Lee... She gave us a remarkable lesson in self con- fidence and definite acceptance. How to be herself in a group of square outsiders. The event took place at the resort. A group of

However, Marie, Vickie and Susanna meant solid moral support, so she went with us, her clothes all in a suitcase. Lee happens to be an expert in guns, so "he" chummied it up quite well with the hunters that first night at the resort, teaching them how to use their guns and rifles.

Then Susanna showed up dressed. Lee just stood around and watched. She was dying to get dressed but in mortal fear of what the hunters might say. Vickie
