When this happened recently I scurried around, mak- ing my reservations for room- ettes and hotel accommodation and aettiing on the single out-1 fit I wou=d wear for thie brie! trip.

When I think that I passed up an invitation ta induige nîy gas- trononmie yearnings in a flaniing shishi kabob, a gourmet's de- light for which the hotel is fam- oua, because I visloned the pelt around my neck being slnged, I quiver at my fernunine obses- sion regarding my appeanance. It wasn't until my host was helping me into the arma o! that burdensome,, fox garnished au- parel, which had been draped around my ehouldens for hours, that I relaxed enough ta enjoy lis delightful sense of humour.
