modern interpretation of the outdated dancing, jitterbugging. As we get up to leave, we pass a table where Miss Ellen Rebecca Evans of the Upper 400, if you please, is sitting, but unless our eyes deceive us, we still see a Mouse hanging around. Going on out, we collect our wraps from the check girl, Marcella Brunn, and proceed to our hotel. 'The hostess, Frances McConnell, is just going up to her room, so we join her in the elevator, run by Evelyn Kentopp. Also, in the elevator are Delma Ruth Fetzner, Helen Hanika, and June Slagle, who have just returned from their appearance at a local theater where they are billed as the 'Three Dancing Damsels.' Upon reaching our floor, we enter our respective rooms and so end a happy day of remi-nescing.” By- Mary Huffman Russell Percival James Falloon Margaret Sooner Carol Schaible.

who can give us the most information concerning the latest gossipin’ of the town. Harold Kissel I is engaged in growing bigger and better mustaches in competition with Raleigh Stein-hauer. Luella champions Raleigh in this contest and informs us that he considers the effort to grow lushier facial foliage than ms opponent a mere trick, and that he has as good as won the coveted cup already. A good friend, Thelma Jane Grtish, is the president of an organization for the aid of women shoppers. She especially aids large women, and her motto is all you need is to take a deep breath (and push.') Marie Hordenberger is going to live in the new house on Fifth Avenue being constructed by the firm of Goddard and Tubach, contractors. She still does everything with a Rush. Luella and Marjorie would enjoy talking with us some more, but we feel that if we are going to visit the newly established Wilson Clinic, we must be on our way. Luella detains us another second to tell us that Moss Jones has been portrayed as a second Raphael, but Marjorie retorts that he is nothing more than a second Seegar. At last we break away from them and walk on toward the hospital. Brushing briskly past us as we enter the hospital is a white-clad surgeon, Frances Wilson. She is on her way to visit one of her patients, Jeanne Elam, who wondered so long whom her husband would be that when she found out it was too great a shock. Dr. Wilson says their mental cases never recover, and she should be sufficiently well-informed for she specializes in mental cases. The doctor claims tnat minds have always interested her, and that she has spent much time wondering how some ran as long as they did. We are informed that John Graham was picked up at Sixth and Main Street the previous evening. He keeps mumbling, 'Did I do this?’ The explanation given us is that he just staged a Broadway Musical Comedy Hit. Charles Powell has the leading role in the comedy. The crowds have been so immense that Charles has not been able to leave the theater. His food is biO ght to him by means of a dumb waiter, Neal Houtz. Among other patients is Joe Grady, still in a coma from his high school days. White-clad nurses hover about. We identify two of them as Lenora Eickhoff and Virginia Winkler. As we return from our short visit to the hospital, we notice the small office of Dr. Laura H. Shepherd across the street. We are told that she is competing with Dr. Wilson. Her policy is that doctors always think they know too much, and that she is a great and outstanding exception to the rule. Curtice Faucett, R. N., is her capable assistant. From the hospital we take a cab to the airport. We discover that women cab drivers are popular, and that the largest agency is operated by Leona Apel and Vera Gatz. At the airdrome, operated by Frank Hebenstreit, we see Marian Ford, a stewardess, hurrying across the field to go on a run in a plane piloted by Herman Braun and Gene Buchholz. Leo Bonsall is on hand to give the propeller its twirl. Attention is suddenly drawn to a large blue plane circling the field. Helen Dale, who holds top flight honors as one of the United States' most daring aviatrix, is returning to Falls Citv to speak on aviation at a guest banquet. Bob Gillaspv has kept in contact with Helen throughout her trip by means of the radio. Leaving Helen surrounded by reporters and a large crowd of people shouting welcome, we again take a cab and return to the night life of the city. As we stroll down the street, a massive neon sign invites us to Rest Your Bones with Porgie [ones.’ We cross the street to go in and see how Mr. Jones is faring, but-are halted by Margaret Sonner, who is an ardent worker of the W. C T. U. After convincing Miss Sonner that we will stand by the principles of her organization, we enter and are escorted to a ringside table by the head waiter, Harold Woodard. Looking around, we see Ruth Shriver, the cigarette girl, walking by the table selling her wares. After becoming settled, we recognize the familiar theme of Lena Mae Lee and her twelve Bombshells, who are accompanying Morris Waddle, the second Cassanova. At the close of this number, the Master of Ceremonies, Elmer Kam-merer, comes forth and announces that next we will have the great privilege of seeing Miss Maxine Drumm, the famous French dancer, swing Wagner’s Wedding March. During the selection, a bit of trouble is aroused by the arrival of the favorite of all escort clubs, Ralph Babbitt. The bouncer, Fred Farington, finally brings all this confusion to a close. Half way through our tasty lunch served us by a dainty waiter, Elsworth Abbott, Elmer directs our attention to Miss Laura Wissinger, a Hollywood star, who has just consented to give us her
