Of course there may be many who will NOT agree with this vote. I ap- preciate the best-friend-severest critic-stuff, and ask for criticism as well as bouquets.

I really grow tired of watching her in the arms of her lovers or hus- bands-and was thoroughly in agreement with the small boy in "Divorcee" who told her to say
