Deanne / May 25, 1938

Overheard at Dinner

May 25, 1938

“Honey – listen to this
..Council of Women is Asked to Make Exhaustive Study of the Consumer’s Interest

Local councils of the National Council of Women today were urged to make the consumer and the consumer’s interest” a topic of study during this coming year.”

Silence.

She reads the headlines again.

“Mmmmph.” Garbled throat clearing.

She puts on the gramophone and starts to dance by herself.
