Really, I'm surprised at the number I remembered. On my visit to Alaska I saw Richard Bone. He is manufacturing Dog Bone Food in Dogville, Alaska. I saw Helen Crawford While I was there, too. She is teaching Home Economics to the Eskimo women. In Paris I met Maxine Munson, who has now become Mademoiselle Moonsin. She is the most noted artist in France. I visited her shop and saw Margaret Michaelson, Merle Wildey and Frances Carlson, all of whom are working with Mlle. Moonsin. Max Tuinstra, as you know by the papers, is taking Musso1ini's place as Premier of Italy. I felt quite honored to think that I knew him when he played Santa Claus at our Wixiter Fes- tival. He told me that Mahatmi Kasner visited him in Italy not long ago and brought with him his secretary, Ada Blasdell. Of course, we all knew she would get a job like that because of the way she use to type for the Scroll. Arthur Erickson, Wilda Farmer, Martha Foster are missionaries on the South Sea Isles. One of the noted scientists, working on a great experiment on these islands is Don Larson. He is assisted by Iames Bowen. It 'is said that Professor Larson may become as great as the late Professor Einstein. Marie Olson is posing for the Chesterfield Company's advertisements. Remember the day she won the picture contest in Miss Zimmerli's home room by having the most natural looking graduation picture? Of course, Iive seen Genevieve Gouchenouer, Dorothy Sanders, Corinne Rider and Marjorie Baird who are all dancing in Ziegfield's Follies' of 1940. One day I went to pay my dinner check in New York and who should be the cashier but Etta Bradford. She told me that Hazel Cosgrove and Florence Anderson had been in the day before and she had talked to them for some time. She also told me that Ralph Miller and Richard Frisk are running against each other for the presidency of the United States, Ross Scanland is mayor of New York, George Cilva runs a ferry between New York and Ellis Island and Lyle Rickabaugh has a job shining the torch of the Statue of Liberty. I went to visit Doris Guthrie-she had been in an accident and was at the hospital. Her 24 QUILL
