Ginny's Brawl NEW YORK, Jan. 8—It happened again this year, dear diary. I was not invited to any of the debutante functions in New York. I am pretty and sweet and use Pond's cream all over—but actually all over—still I never seem to get asked. They tell me it is the open season on debutantes and T come scurrying‘ up from the South because I'figure I will maybe bag me one of them critters before the season runs out. Same old story. No invitations. Nothing but bills and a come-on {rom the Bowery Follies. * 1 tell you, it makes a man desperate. I-am the cia BA Rt LE SE TE RTO 1 know about the pretty girls with the long limp hair hanging down and the vast expanse of shoulders and. the bouffant skirts and college men with the scalped haircuts and the ice cream cones steeped. in benedictine. / ; I started this career a far piece back, when I began to follow the career of Brenda Diana Duff Frazier. When Miss Frazier finally married a reformed athlete" and began to stay home I wept for days, but the tears never wetted down my hopes. Just figured there would come a day when I would dance at one of the parties, my hair full of moopbeams and nothing at all in my head. : It is no exaggeration that I was near about to ry again the other night when Miss Virginia iesgh, “17, jumped off the plank into society's arms and all --1 could. do. was: set-and-chafe-over-a-beer with three windbroken copyreaders and a stevedore for company.

I WOULDN'T be surprised if this accounted for: him making speeches at the Romans twice a day, If he'd built a roomy balcony like you're figuring on, Mr, President, he’ might have stretched out more. And not talked himself into so much trouble. But there you are; history frequently has hinged on architectural errors. .
