visit with the - married
daughter, Mrs. J. C. Arm-

band; and her hobbies she says
include bowling, skating, and
playing her records. In Paris
she sang in the junior choir at
the church. She loves music,
her mother reports. Barbara
admits to being very fond of
swimming, but with that clear
skin which some .auburn haired
girls are blessed with, she has
to be careful about - too much
sunshine.

one of her young friends, Shar-
on Wasson, was on the calendar
for Barbara for the next- few
days, and she was looking for-
