Contemporary Comment WE FIND THAT New Yorkers can and often do produce a very belittling effect on -towners. We relate the following incident as proof of our statement.

Four local girls while recently spending the weekend in a small town, adjoining a well-known girl's college in Pennsylvania, planned to spend an enjoyable evening at the movies. Much to their dismay they found that they had seen the one and only picture in the town. This, however, did not dampen their spirits in the least and they promptly drove on to the next Like most of Brooklyn's younger generation our friends were movie fiends and found it rather difficult to discover one picture which none of them had seen. Consequently, as they drove from one town to the next, they kept getting further and further away from their starting point but hadn't the vaguest idea in what direction or how far they had gone. On arriving in what they considered rather an interesting little town, they were delighted to find that not one of them had seen the movie which it had to offer.

While purchasing the tickets one brave member of the group asked the ticket agent what the daughter of Mrs. Westampton Beach of Mrs. Joseph the late John Church, Manthe ceremony at for many years, and the Misses Louise Good and Misses Esterbrook Will Honor Miss Andrew and Fiance at Buffet Supper This Evening 2 The Misses Betsey and Janet Esterbrook of 639 Putnam Ave. will entertain this evening in honor of their cousin, Miss Mary Marshall Andrew and her fiance, Dr. Robert Bryan Hillsman.
