nese at school. We got out just in time, Carol. Irene lfranklin is teaching Latin at Columbia where Gertrude Lombard is teaching Mathg and is quite discouraged because she can't get as many A's out of her pupils as she used to get herself. What is Mary Martin doing?" " Oh, she is queen of all stateswomen as Mayor of Warner, New Hampshire. And I just heard yesterday that Gertrude Bowman is an accompanist for Sousa's Band." " Mary Brewer is happy. She is an influen- tial member of Worcester Society, and is run- ning the Charity Ball this year with Jennie Marr to assist her." Rattle-de-bang, clap, clap, bang, a voice from the tumult. "Want any help?" An anti- quated Ford truek appeared, breathing out its last 011 the up-grade and coming to a stop with a final groan of despair. A majestic figure dis- mounted from the front seat and regarded the rear axle with motherly concern. " Copie, Copie ! " screamed Carol, plowing through the remains of her splintered plane towardhher beloved pal. "Copie!,' and with another stride reached her outstretched arms and was clasped i11 a tight embrace. " Oh! I am so glad to see you! Buzz is here! Our planes hit each. other, but we were n't hurt. COINS over and tell us all the spice." "Hello, Buzz? how are you? IVhat have you and Carol been doing to each other? " " Oh, Copie, is n't this just like old times? What have you been doing? Do tell us all the spicef, "Why, Ilm patrol of the Newton Skyway. Ifve just been released from Naval duty and have been over to put my Caproni Biplane in the hangar. Let me see, what can I tell you? Well, Ruth Hathaway is leader of the National Community sings, illltl Ellie Taylor is in charge of the New Rochelle Branch, having made such a success that she managed to get Stibby away from the whirl of Springfield society long enough to captivate the hearts of the boys." " Up to their old tricks," said Buzz. "Jerry Murray has just published a pamphlet on ' How Lillian Russell and I Retain Our Beauty., I. 'in trying the treatment myself." V9' Varol, disgustedly, " llumph. Vopie, undisturbed, "I can tell you some more if you stop discussing beauty long enough to listen. Bubbles never sees the old crowd any more as she is so wrapped up in her beloved settlement work that she canit bear to leave Worcester. And Pearl Button has finally formed the link between Vermont and Cali- fornia by her famous trip on which she tried, with great success, the ' Eat and Grow Thin Diet! Y' And l,ve heard about nearly all the girls that lived near Andover. Helen Dole is head of the Lawrence City Missions, and Dor- othy Evans has roused the people by her stirring speeches on factory oonditions. Elizabeth Sjos- trom has founded the New Andover Jitney Sys- tem and is running back and forth and around for Philtljip's friends and their suitcases, and Mooey Johnson is doing kindergarten work on the hill. Dot Shapleigh is exhibiting remark- able china in her charming little Andover gift- shop." " 1sn't it just great to hear about what every- one is doing ! " exclaimed Buzz. " I saw Gladys Glendinningfs name o11 a movie billboard the other day, Pllld Grace Kepner is making mil- lions writing movie scenarios." "Harriet Harrison is running a Hostess House at Hotehkissj, interposed Carol, "and Catherine Danforth is doing her bit for the development of the ' F leet,' while Margaret Worman is posing for Harrison Fisher and is also taking a course in expert photography. By the way, is n't, or rather, was n't my plane a beauty? I got it from 'KY Beck. She has been giving us all pointers in the aviation line." A Buzz, as usual, " My! but I'm hungry, is n't there a dog-cart around here somewhere? I can't leave my plane." Copie, rising, " Come on up to the house for breakfast. As for the planes, we 'll take them along. Hop in, I 'll pick them up." Bang, clappety bang, clap. . .and the faithful little Ford once more took up its bur- den of life, said burden not by any means lessened by the addition of Carol and the splinters, to say nothing of Buzz!
