Tine feminine appeal enters into By a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch OCONOMOWOC, Wis., June 27.—Here, far from the perspiring strap- hangers’ ignoble strife for seats, where fresh breezes sweep in from the clear, cool lakes and surrounding forests, a Post-Dispatch reporter sought “out at his summer home John I.
