Author's note: On her 21st birthday in 1932 our friend Judy announced she would be At Home on the afternoon of the second Saturday of each month. Thus was born an institution, gathering strength as the years rolled by until during 1982, on Judy's birthday, a 50th anniversary celebration was held, and on the 55th year her Christmas present was an album of photographs of those of her friends still attending the monthly tea party.
