Due perhaps to the kind of recefvers used in Budapest, sweeps of backfire from receivers resuit in spreading fam ily conversations to all who happen to be listening in. Neighbors recognize the voices and, knowing the principals in the family row, listen with zest to quarrels and intimate gossip. Dull market reports and other set features are varied with the inside story of why Mrs. Fogos left home, what Mrs. A thinks of Mrs. B and how long Admiral Horthy will re- main regent.
