C21 THE MAIQLBQIQQUQH DIAIQY CQ h i laugh all the time at school, you know, not to mention Mignon Woide- mann. But I hear she's having a hard time laughing off a fat husband, a farm, three pigs, a cow, and ten children. Jayne: My dear, how sad! Who would have thought she'd have gone so far! Or that Katie McCartney would have taken over Du Brock's old horses. Not to mention Edwine Montague's leading an orchestra in a transcontinental airplane. However, most of the class has proved a credit to the school. For instance, Katherine Bronson, Janet McIntyre, Eleanor Jess, and Willa Jordan have just been chosen for the Davis Cup team. And Mary Rogers and Virginia Staples are going across with them to prepare for the Olympic Games. Mary is doing weight-lifting, and Staples made a new record in putting the shot-100 feet. 'Mez And you've heard that Dee Winzeler has made a great suc- cess of her boarding school? fSpeaking rapidly, and sort of breathlesslyf. Yes, it took her ten years to graduate from Marlborough, and by that time she had become so used to boarding schools that she started one of her own-just to keep from being lonely. She got some good teachers- Elmora Macomber teaches how to hang on to the end of a rope by your teeth, Barbara Cruickshank-you know what a stickler she used to be for getting a good grade in Study Habits-well, Eugenia looked all over the United States for her and finally found her underneath one of those mechanical sun-tanning machines. Then Eugenia put her in charge of Study Hall. Betty Miles has classes in 'How to Write Rimes About Your Teachers, and Make 'Em Ask for More.' By the way, she has just fin- ished a book of Nonsense Verse on My Dear Teachers of Old Marl- borough, True Blue I Am to You.' Only Ura Louise Welch, who pub- lished it fshe has taken over the Police Gazette Company, changed the 'True Blue' to 'True Violet' as being more appropriate. Alma Lloyd, at this point is being sued for the caricatures she drew to illustrate the book.', Jayne sighs. Me: Did you say something? fsharplyj. Jayne: Who, me? Of course not! fasidej I couldn't if I tried. Me: fStares suspiciously at her for a minute, then relapses into silence, looking straight ahead. But Hnally breaks out withjz I must say! Imagine Anne Pinckham and Virginia Chamberlain being chorus girls! Our President! fsobsj. Our good old President! Jayne: Don't look at them. They're going off now, anyway. And here comes the news, with a number by a famous concert pianist. I won- E671

C25 Tl-ui MAIQLBQIQQUQH DIAIQV 5-65 h i Me: Why, Jayne Spence! I was never so surprised! Never! How have you been? It must be all of fifteen years since I last saw you! And you haven't changed a bit! How are your cute little children? And the dear professor? Jayne: Oh, the kids are fine. They take care of themselves beauti- fully. But John is sort of helpless. Barbara Lee came to see me about some charity work she is doing now, and she gave my husband a look that seemed to say, 'Charity begins at home.' Me: Anne Arneill and Janet Crump are roommates again. Poor girls! Sixteen dollars a week each of them. And twelve-hour days. Janet gets up at four, and Ann at four-thirty. They are working in Margaret Viault's Hour mill. You know, she took over her father's business and is conducting it in a very economic way. The employees Cat all three meals there-which, of course, is taken off their wages,-and they are fed on pills -one pill a meal. You remember how plump Ann used to be? Well, she's gotten quite thin, poor girl. Jayne fwho meanwhile has turned to watch the stageJ: Why, Virginia! Isn't that Tip Tweedy on the stage? And singing! My, she certainly has come a long way since the Glee Club days! Look at that diaphragm. And there are Laura Lois January and Mildred Wagner in the chorus. They're kind of peaked looking, aren't they? I distinctly counted ten of Kewpie's ribs. Me: And, my dear! There are Margaret Brandel and Mary Sin- clair doing trapeze work. You know, they used to leap so beautifully when they played basketball. And here come Ruth Beasly and Betty Bardwell. Clogging! I hardly recognized them through that darkie make- up. There's one of those horrible Mammy singers. Say, that voice has a familiar sound. I believe it's Elise Bowman! She finally went to the Uni- versity of Alabama, you know. That must have been where she picked up the negro accent. Jayne: Speaking of colleges, do you know that Pat Burks and Sue Clark are still trying for Arizona? Sue has rheumatism, and Pat has a new set of upper teeth, but they're still plugging away. Me: Who are those people? Remind me, kind of, of Laurel and Hardy. No, they're women. As I live and breathe! Germaine Mitchel and Vivian Gresley! And listen to the wise-cracks! I remember when those were printed in the Serendipity-although those persons behind us seem to be enjoying themselves. My dear! flowerJ No wonder they' re laughing. They're Kay Roberts and Catherine Bradford. They used to i661
