"Fresh and dewy as a debutante should be was Mary Tullis standing with her grandparents, Gen. and Mrs. Robert E. Wood, when they entertained for her in their Lake Forest home. Mary's dancing wardrobe now hangs in her closet while she's vacationing at the A Bar A Ranch in Wyoming with her uncle and aunt, the James Addingstons. The Woods will join them in mid-August."
