Villager's 'Chicago Lulu' in 'Post' Lives Up to NameWayne Whittaker of 544 Thatcher, not only has a story in last week’s issue (April 15) of The Saturday Evening Post but came in for special mention beside. On the ''Keeping Posted page, which gives brief comment about various authors with intimate glimpses of any jpersonal life that can be dragged out of them, The Post Is very personal indeed about Mr. Whittaker, who will probably live to regret a rash invitation he gave, flattering as it may be to his wife.Born on a farm near Earlville, 111., he went to Beloit to college where he was a Beta.

Her name is Adele, the lady you and Mr. Whittaker met in dolorous frame of mind at the door in the first paragraph.The reason for Mrs. Whittaker's dolorous state was Bad news n the mail.
