The Dick Lords entertained about forty Naught Niners and their wives in their house at Melrose on December 16. It was a gay party given in Dick's and Mrs. Dick's best style. With due respect to President Bankhart's manipulation of a nursing bottle, and to other episodes of a highly entertaining nature, the feature of the evening was probably the wizardry of Harold Osborne, card manipulator par excellence, and former King of the Circuit. Though Harold is now with the United Shoe Machinery Company, he has lost none of the magic which has long kept him at or close to the top in his fascinating and altogether baffling form of entertainment. And lest matters of really major importance be lost sight of among the distracting circumstances of the approaching presidential campaign, it should be emphasized that Chet Brett's ability, with four pretzels in each cheek, to whistle plaintively but clearly the tune of "How Dry I Am," deserved honorable mention.
