L'While Grayce Callaghan is writing her book on the 'Life of an Old Maid,' Polly Scott is singing grand opera against Jeanette Koert in Henry Warmolt's Opera House. Oscar Boylan and Frank Clark are agents for Wrigley's gum and they surely are good demonstrators. Robert Daverman is a very prosperous undertaker making his home in South America near the cannif bals. Lois Van Overen is the Radio Broadcaster of Gossip and New Fashions." "Further records prove that Wilma Prose and Edna Brandt are the very eflicient supervisors of a Bachelors' Home in which James Scott and Versol Lamphear are inmates. Eleanor Selzer has become the famous dietician at the hospital for Melvin Larsen's Engineering Company.

Eleanor Guenther is a farmerette on a little farm ofpher own up in Northern Michigan. Fate has decreed that she become a spinster. Chester De Nuyl has a barber shop on Main Street in Parnell, Mlich. It was rumored that he has over one thousand customers on Saturday night. ln the basement of De Nuyl's store, Loren Hooger- hyde has set up a Turkish bath. His advertisement states that he makes a worried business man of forty look like a carefree kid of twelve. Clara Peel is bare back rider for Barnum E3 Bailey's Circus." , "Alice Buursma is proprietress of a restaurant in Grand Rapids and has a thriving business. She waits table, cooks, washes dishes, does the work of cashier, and manages the whole thing herself. In 1930 Dorothy Calrow accepted the position of teacher in a rural school in Alaska and since that time nothing has been heard of her. May Clarke and Katherine Kellogg have established a spinsters' rendezvous, and as a side line, they raise fancy cats. Who ever dreamed that those angels would be old maids with pet cats? Have you heard what a wonderful violinist Alice Ellens has become? She was heard playing in New York but it must be confessed that her music is liked better the farther away it is. About a month ago grand opera came here and Elizabeth Hodde did ballet dancing. She did such wonderful steps, and once so endangered her life that a lady in the audience fainted. Of course, Dr. Hoye, the well known physician, was called and she was put under the care of Dorothy Longcore, a trained nurse."

"Beatrice Wenger, disappointed in love, is traveling all ov-er the world, crying 'Any Kind of a Beau Will Do.' Doris Symes is teaching hockey to Bedouin bands because it's good exercise to play it on the sand. Lou Rodebach took advantage of leap year and is now suc- cessfully and happily married. Wayne Rice plays on his trumpet now in Bob Kirchner's Or' chestra and makes it worse yet. Marion Bacon is a great attraction at Ramona because she is doing nothing more than dancing on a crutch. Carole Canfield is teaching turtles how to dive while George Anderson is explaining his new way of squeezing lemons. Virgil Benson has spent all these years on growing a mustache and as a result is as poor as a church mouse. Louise Broene went to Peru, but she raised such a rumpus in the hearts of the people while there that she also raised a revolution." "Earl Douse licks envelopes sedately in Phil Walslfs pickle oflice. Katherine Landman is not the artist we expected she'd be but a pill coater down at Peck's. Johnny Feringa is chief lamplighter in Northville where he performs his chosen duties every evening. Helen Putt, Frances Korstange, and Clarice Lybaart are working in a rubber plantation in India. Bessie Taylor is in charge of a chemical laboratory where she is searching for a stickier type of chewing gum.
