FOLKS WE KNEW WHILE IN THE K.U. by Marie McCready: May Lane; "Came from California.--Vesta Newcomb I have no recollection of him, but remember her as being excessively "proper." She thought a woman should never mention perspiration. She said "Horses sweat, men perspire and ladies become all aglow." She also considered any infraction of the rules as next to criminal. She came downstairs one evening just as Harry, Laurie, Robbie, Ruth, Nina and I were leaving the bakery room behind the kitchen, where we had been having a
snack and was apparently horrified. She followed us girls upstairs as far as the second floor, saying "Shame on you; shame on you," while we disrespectfully giggled and went on to the third."
