ln five minutes we were in Cincinnati, Ohio, watching the Red Socks play baseball. We had stopped only a few minutes when one of the players knocked the ball out of the held and about four yards from our plane. When one of the players came over to recover it, who should it be but Harold Gaby. He said he had been playing with the team for ten years. Then he told us that Kester Gaby, Ed Peterson, Fritz Bernert and John Delaurenti were also playing with the teamg that Fritz had married Mary Jones and that she had been honorary umpire at the opening game of the season. He said that Frank Levar was managing the team since their former manager, Pat Moran, had died, and that during his spare time he sold peanuts on the street. VVhile in Chicago we went to hear one of the performances of the Chicago Civic Opera Company. Helen Kiel, Rica Ohlin, Ger- trude Newman, Cecil Dunham and Paul Hunt had principal parts. Grand opera is very much like hockey, in fact, the only difference between the two is that in hockey the contestants holler only when they are hurt and in grand opera the contestants holler all the time. They were presenting a comic tragedy and l am sure that it was thoroughly enjoyed by all who saw it. Then we left for New York. Everyone knows what an aero- plane ride will do to a marcel, so when we arrived in New York I set out to look for a beauty parlor. About two blocks in the distance I could read the sign Monsieur Paromentar, Beautilierf' It was the nearest one so I went in and to my surprise lVIonsieur Paromentar turned out to be no other than Leonard Mitchell. He said he had got the inspiration from twisting rope for swings in McPherson Hardware Store. Leonard told me that George Mihal- cik, Bus Higdon, Roy Hudson and Clarence Peterson were selling The Ladies' Home Journal in Egypt. Marion said we would have to be starting back so we headed for home. VVe stopped at Reno, Nevada, for repairs and I dropped into the courtroom just in time to hear Eva Thomas getting a divorce from Ramon Navarro, and she was asking a heart balm of 550,000 She told me that she was living in Santa Barbara, California, and that Theresa Spendal was superintendent of the Sunday schools there. The other members of the class are still living around Renton and I see them once in a while. Fred Cavanaugh is the traffic cop at Elliott Station, Veva Thomas is clerking in the People's Storey Ann Edwards is selling powder puffs in Woolworth's Ten Cent Store, and Avis Greggs picks raspberries at Sumner during the warm weather. fAin't nature grand?j Orville lfVashburn has started a wood and coal transfer and has two men employed to work for him. He is doing nicely and soon will be able to purchase a new horse and buggy. George Swift is principal of Hazelwood School, Ralph Smith has succeeded Mr. Olsen as janitor of Renton High School, and John Dobson has just returned from Alaska where he has been selling straw hats to the Eskimos.
