The Ladies in the line:
prompt words—threat, viewpoint, birdless, blimp, drive, singing, spit, float.
The ladies in the line were singing a happy tune in the
south yard of Eleanor Roosevelt's cottage, near the gravel drive where the limo
was waiting. From their viewpoint, the day could not be finer. This conclusion
was enhanced by the spiked punch they sipped at lunch. Ignoring the signs that
all was not right with the world (the midsummer sky was birdless and not a
butterfly floated by the bushes), they continued to dance. Irritated by their
joy, the gardener angrily spit his tobacco into the raked grass and threatened
the universe with his tight fist. The Goodyear Blimp took a photo of the scene
which was published on the inside page of LIFE magazine with the caption
"Ladies frolic with the First Lady while the stockmarket hits a new
low." (148 words)
