Since it was the first time she had worn her Gray Lady uniform, she was especially upset when the car broke down and she had to get out in the rain.

Smiling over the experience, she told one of her friends she was afraid that "all of the starch would come out of my new cap!" Mrs. Shelley said that one of the boys offered to take any one of the ladies out to dinner who would find tube for his radio-60 far none of them has been able to take him up on the offer.
