Michigan, 1917. Of course then we understood the significance of the title of his story. AUG. 1—Sunday and one that does credit to its name. We went to hear Mr. Elvin Nelson’s sermon. Mr. Nelson is on a world’s tour in the interest of Prohibition and will probably end his journey in Alaska, which seems to hold a special attraction for him. AUG. 1U—Paris is a beautiful place but there isn’t the rural air about it that there was about all of England. Hazelle says the styles are perfectly “stunning,” but I hear that Irene Hansen and Julia Moore, who very strongly advocate “Made in America” goods, quite outshone the Parisian modistes. AUG. 11—We visited the English school tor girls founded by Mrs. Kerkoff. She very kindly invited us to a concert to be given for her pupils by Miss Louise Hillman. Our old friend comes highly recommended by the Germans, who declare that she quite equals Schumann-Keink in her mastery of the Deutsche Gesprach. AUG. 20 (Copenhagen, Denmark)—We’ve just returned from a visit to our doctor friend, Frank Ilauge. He has done so much in teaching individual sanitation that he will soon have to move in order to obtain practice. But he didn’t seem to worry much and his services as a guide were indispensable; at least Hazelle thinks so and I quite agree. Mr. Hauge has just returned from a visit to Belgium, where the devastation of war has practically been wiped away by the help of the American agriculturalist, Andrew Petersen, who has taught the people scientific farming. AUG. 28—(On deck again)—Just visited the pearl fisheries in the Persian Gulf, where we saw Ilah Emery doing her daring feats of deep sea diving. We’re on our w’ay to see our old friend, Emma Lucas, a missionary in India. SEPT. 12—We’re at the mission but for just a few' days. A long time ago I promised to present Emma with a woolen blanket as a w’edding gift. I infer that I’ll have to keep my promise from the fact that she speaks rather shyly of a Y. M. C. A. founded by Harry Nelson and Albert Vining in the mountains of Tennessee. Hazelle guesses that Albert probably spends most of his summer time in Greenville, Michigan, and as to the woolen blanket, she suggests that a refrigerator and an apparatus for manufacturing ice would be more appropriate. SEPT. LAST, or THIRTIETH—We’ve been sailing or steaming ever since we left India. We stopped at Hong Kong for a few’ hours and almost the first thing we saw was a great flaring banner, “Votes for Women,” borne by Edna Casw’ell. Edna has been a regular “Chinese Abraham Lincoln,” in emancipating the women of China. Only a short sojourn in Japan, where we met American Ambassador Charles Nelson. OCT. 10—I guess we’re on the home stretch at last, but for lack of time now', w’e’ve decided to visit the Orient again some time, hazelle and I are in the same predicament, were lacking funds. 'So it’s home again and home again, America for me; my heart is turning home again to God s countree.’' OCT. 11—We’re up one minute and down the next today, but the w’orst ox it is we don’t know which place we will stay finally. There w'ere so many seasick people on boad that the doctor and his assistant, r-dythe Shelden, had to be called to take care of them. I think it is safer to stay on deck; the railing is such a comfortable place to lean against. Hazelle told the steward to throw her supper overboard and save time. OCT. 23—Reached San Francisco safely and we’re “putting up” at the Thompson-Houle Hotel, although it has consolidated now’ and is generally known simply as the Thompson House. We were talking w’ith Edward, who told us that his two chemist friends, Wyman Moffatt and Peter Lyndrup, are making valuable experiments in Death Valley. I picked up a copy of the Out-Look Magazine with a pictureof Ralph Lape, the new editor, on the cover. Mr. Lape certainly chose the right vocation aw’ay back in 1917. OCT. 30—(Miller ranch, Montana)—We’re making a short visit at the ranch of Agnes and Eleanor Miller. They have a beautiful place and welcomed us warmly. Although the weather didn’t. Nov. 10—Grand Rapids looks good and it’s the most familiar spot I’ve struck for six months. We met Marion Edsall this morning on the street. She hasn’t recreased in circumference, but I hear that she is becoming quite prominent as an artist, although 1 always imagined that an artist must be tall and -slender. NOV. 11—I came to Greenville for a few days’ visit at Hazelle’s and then I’m off for home! The Daily Call says that in February Miss Zadie Zuver will take up her duties as commercial teacher in the Grand Rapids Central High School. The Advertising section invites the public to Silver’s Theater to see the latest movie star, Seth Slawson, so of course we can’t miss it. Hazelle says she is not going to w’ork any more, but if she thinks that settling down to mopping and baking and sweeping and dusting isn’t w’ork, I could very easily shatter her air castles. I never have had much practical experience for I guess I’m destined to be an ol --- bachelor maid, but at least w’e are both agreed that “Life is just one fool thing after another and Love is two fool things after each other.” Page Thirty-two
