'sure most of the fripperies with which I staggered home will look miser- ably futile in the cold light of a December morning in Surrey, And' then there's al; the trouble of de- ciding which is for who. Dó you think that green georgette dance. set for a maiden aunt?" No. per- haps you're right- send her the teacosy cover instead. Much cheaper; and besides. I really need a new dance ser mysil ......
