...double talk, things'll be fun. It starts flowing at 1800, at the Harvard Club of Boston, Commonwealth and Massachusetts Avenues (Mass. Ave. Station), and first on the programme are "unlimited cocktails" until 1845.

Applications for allotments for insurance and dependents can be made ready for filing on June...
