Last Wednesday eve, I accepted an invitation to be present at a "Calico party" in West Phila. as a matter of policy I went - got in the graces of several of the elderly ladies and had a very good time - the ladies were all dressed in Calico which is rather a rare oddity - Mrs. Harris was very sick yesterday
