michael is to fight in New York for the national championship, and you know she always was interested in Raymond’s activities.” “Mona, where is the evening paper? I would like to see it.” “Here it is and guess who is on the new staff. Mildred Reynolds is writing editorials and Alice McCracken is writing the “Lovelorn” column. That certainly is the right place for Alice. Just recall her high school ca- reer, and they say that experience is a good teacher. 1 see where Gertrude Lyon, the great character actress, is playing at the “Ohio” next week. We should go and se her.” “Rex, where did you get this magazine? I see a boy’s story in it writ- ten by Eniest Gibson. I suppose he acquired all his knowledge from read- ing Horatio Alger books in high school, and here is a page of wonderful poetry written by Bernard Matheny. I heard that he was considered the world’s second Shelley. I suppose he has Miss Pickering to thank for his wonderful background of literature. “Did you read here in the paper about the new air port which is to be erected by Jack Beverage and George Kilpatrick? I suppose Jack is go- ing to furnish the brains and George the money. I think there is also to be a flying school with Mary Belle Taylor and Elizabeth McGraner as flying- instructors.” “Yes, I saw that and also that Dana Swift and Dwight Gaskill have drilled another well at Fisher. If they keep on they will be real million- aires. I wonder who will be invited to the farewell party which Russell Hall, now a prominent business man, is giving in honor of Jack Swanson, Rex Koons, and Hollis Shaffer. You knew they were going to Hollywood to break into the movies, didn’t you ?” “Perhaps they will go through Washington and see Kenneth Jones, who, I understand owns a large apple orchard there.” “Do you remember Lowell Kenny and June Kimball? When I was in the Palm Beauty Parlor, owned and managed by Mable Croy and Harriet Jacoby, I overheard someone saying that Lowell was the new bus driver between Albany and Athens while June, his wife, operates a lunch counter. Mable said that Janet Bing, dean of girls at Columbia University, was com- ing home for a short visit. Perhaps Nelle Stout and Rhoda Cowan will come with her. They have established an exclusive finishing school for young ladies.” “Oh, Mona, I have just been reading the sport page and I see where Virgil Cross has accepted the position of coach at Notre Dame and Fred James has signed up with the New York Giants.” “Pauline Shuler, Pi Beta Phi house mother, was telling me that Flor- ence Vorhes, manager of the F. W. Woolworth store, has just returned from Grant hospital where she underwent an operation for appendicitis. She said that Edward Hixon and Eldridge Whipple were doctors there, and Mabel Bowles and Frances Gold were nurses. Dr. Whipple said that Lee Beasley, the famous architect, was convalescing from a broken leg.” Cledythe Cranmer came into my office today. She told me she and Arthur Scott were soliciting money to buy trophies for the basketball boys. They are now the physical education directors.” “Oh, Rex, if I go to the dinner party Mrs. Saylor is giving I must have a new hat. I think I will go down to the millinery shop, run by Addie Guth- rie and Blanche Cassels. They get their hats direct from Paris so I should be able to find something very stylish. Oh, that radio, Rex turn it off. —Wilson and Wilson. [28]
