man, skiing toward me with his friend and guide, Martin Stoutjesdyk. The cold was a little too much for my new spun-plastic coat so my genii whisked me off once more. I now found myself in a big Chicago theatre, talk- ing with Burton Epstein about his newest hit-oper- etta. Walking over to the wings, I found ,loyce Campau discussing the advertising of the play with director, Tom Schopps. ,lust then, Nancy Rich scur- ried by on her last check-up of the sets which she had designed, and I spied Ilosy Roberts over on the stage interviewing Burton for her newspaper. Soon my genii, without my having a thing to say about it, swooshed me through the air once more. This time, I landed on the front porch of an ador- able New England Colonial house in Baltimore, Maryland. Marilyn Averill leaned out of her win- dow and informed me that it was her dream house and that she was decorating it all herself. As I stood there, Mary Dooge walked over from the house next door to borrow some soy-beans and started tell- ing me about her recent diplomatic work in Italy. My genii then informed me that we were to take a trip downtown to Ted Dunn's engineering office. Carolyn Hawk, his competent secretary, greeted me and told me that he was in the office next door talk- ing to insurance men, Al Heffron and ,lohn Willirs. Deciding not to disturb them, my genii and I floated on to our next stop. This was a leisurely five minutes, spent sipping a mint julip on Herb Remienls southern plantation. I had a gay time exchanging gossip with ,loan Rankin, who had become a well-known social worker, and Mary Ellen Brown, who had just retired from the editorship of Vogue Magazine. Doctor Al Hicks, now an eminent eye specialist, sat back and listened to the discussion with a wide-eyed smile. After a few minutes I reluctantly departed for another des- tination. Arizona was our next stop. Here I found myself perched on the fence of Mary Hadley's corral on her new ranch. Barbie Fincher, a private secretary in Tuscon, was visiting Mary for a week, and before I left, we had a fine chat-and not about horses! California next beckoned my genii and me to its sunny realms, and l was soon at Grauman's famous Chinese restaurant. Of course, I had had no hope of finding anyone there, but there sat eight of my old school chums-having a reunion. I quickly joined them and busily found out just what they were all doing. ,loan Cornelius told me that she had exchanged her name for a wedding ring, as had Sheila Mulvihill, although Sheila has outdone loan: she has a set of twin girls!! Ernie Bigelow and Cath- aryn Hawk have had a lot of success as private sec- retaries to directors in the Paramount studios. Mari- lyn Brink told me that she and Gwen Sugg had been working in the personnel department of Metro, as a psychiatrist and social service worker, respectively. Bob Schmidt owns a large chemical factory there in Hollywood, and Tom Fox is his very efficient busi- ness manager. And so, after hearing all of the latest news, my genii and I shot through the air once more. i We conga'edl' south of the border to South America and toward all of my traveling friends. I ran into Fritz Kalmbach, Bob Lee, and Ilaul Scholte, who were on their way to the South American Travel Bureau, where Mary Dolbeare was doing a grand job as head-advisor. The Travel Bureau build- ing had just been completed by Bill Trestrail's en- gineering firm. Bill, despite his millions made through engineering, insisted that he would remain a bachelor! My eyebrow shot up at that remark, and so did I as a matter of fact, for I was on my way once more. We fairly leaped over the ocean to Paris, France, where I was tempted to purchase a new evening gown from madmoiselles Diane Bailey, ,loyce Hart- man, and Sallie Wilmarth, who own an exclusive shop. While l was in the shop, Nan Murray, a journalist for a Paris newspaper, and Sheryl Batman, working on the same paper as an interpreter, strolled in to talk. They were both telling me that Dottie McKnight is making a big name for herself as a med- ical technician there in Paris. They all really loved the city, and so did I, but our time was growing short, soooooi- We went straight to Berlin, Germany, to see Sally Mitts in the American embassy, where she is the ambassador's social secretary. She enjoyed her work, she told me, as she had met many famous and inter- esting people. Cur next trip was really a trip and a half!-to Australia. Here we saw Pat Colvin, looking nice as ever, in the crisp whiteness of her nurse's uniform. The last, and most fantastic trip was to South Africa where we saw Bill Rindge, who was on a pleasure trip, being entertained by the stories of Peter Vanderwoude about his big game-hunting. Then, as suddenly as I had left my home, I found myself sitting on my living-room couch. It was dark outdoors, and the clock read eight-thirty. My genii had whisked me around the world in three and a half hours, and I felt as though l'd been through a wringer. Tomorrow I wouldn't wish. I would sleep . . . getting too old for such exertion . . . yawn!!!!!
