Nineteen Twenty-three-Twenty-four M I S S B U R K E ' S S C H O O L nitely-Louise Burmister and Claire Fennel. They were both such domestic girls, though, that I really suppose they are both happily married now. Louise is probably sketching sweetly by some one's fireside. Claire never painted much, but she was just the type for a Fireside, too. That is the history of the class of 1924, cherish their memory. And as for me4my story is short. I was in Thibet laying off a golf course for the Lhasians, but a handsome monk, and the high hills, caused heart trouble, and I am now but a poor gypsy fortune teller.

W O R K S A N D D A Y S Nineteen Twenty-three-Twenty-four I hear. Beatrice. Williams held the position for a while. She is taking pictures for the Pathe News Weekly now. Wrote Beatrice to me: I've been taking a time exposure of Chief Ug-Ug-Gr-R for three and a half months. But then we cannot always have sugar in our coffee, and patience is a great virtue. Gertrude Gregory has been working very hard, too. You remem- ber how exquisitely she used to play for us in the chocolate room? I saw her in Chicago the other day, on the campus, playing for the Salvation Army. The little red and blue poke bonnet was ever so fascinating, and many a penny has she coaxed from those noisy college boys, I assure you. Trust Gertrude. Elsie Sullivan, poor girl, has been very ill. She was dining with the Prince of Wales, and alas! she dropped her salad fork. Picture Elsie, mantled in blushes, stooping for the fork! Brain fever fol- lowed, but when I stopped to see Frances Cahn at her Golf Shop and' Gymnasium, she told me that 'Elsie was convalescing nicely. Of Margery Loewe you probably know. She has been a most active alumnae, and is always bringing wonderful celebrities up to the school. Her acquaintance is very wide, especially in the realm of Drama, which is another fleld by the way that Esther Ehrman has invaded. All who see Esther as Lucia di Lammermoor in the mad scene are prostrated. I must have told you of nearly everyone. Our dear president, I-Iettie Stephenson, has a busy life now. She is matron of the North- western Pacific Ferry. She acquired a great love for the location in her early youth while commuting to Ross, and so is very well placed. She makes a very lovable figure in her spick and span cap and gown. Helen France has a very remunerative position as illustrator for Mr. Muzzey's history textbooks. I am afraid we never fully appreciated her work in the old days. Phyllis Meyer, besides her opera, has just published an extremely interesting book, Spanish at a Glance. Elizabeth Truby is in Chicago. The Tribune sent me an invitation to a newsboys' dinner that dear Elizabeth was giving on February zo-her birthday, you remember. However, there are two girls whom I have not heard from defi- E281
