Aunt Saphie's reply was: "Of course, ah'll deny every word ai whai you'il say, but don'i let that stop you-all irmn telling' the iruth like you aught". I'vev reasan ta suspect the rea.son she's so grave about exposure is that she doesn't think this paper goes as far as Virginia.

Housewives who wauldn't be caught in the throes ai delir- ium listening ta "Ma Perkin.s" on the radio would rather miss nomination for club office than skip the next chapter on the soap and sob circuits of televi-1 sion.
