By E L I Z A B E T H SEARS BOULDEN
The best news we, in Cincinnati, have
to report, was Miss Wyman's visit in Oc-
tober. We proceeded to have some of
the very worst weather possible, for the
occasion, but we didn't let a little thing
like climate interfere with our plans.
Some of the girls, in company w i t h Miss
Wyman, even had the courage to drive

The proceeds are to be given to the Three
Day Clinic maintained by the Bethesda
Hospital here in Cincinnati. I t is our
ultimate aim to support the clinic by the
