By the way did you know that Viola Norris and Gyneth McLean are dieticians? -and look-lo and behold-Robert Liston, Esq. He's in the Mounted Police. Let's hope Canada appreciates him. L'Right behind him are some more so called Wandering Jews. Neva Bent and Dorothy Grubb, they've been in China teaching the Chinese darlings the three R's. Ambitious, eh?

'LYehAand that old maid stuff of hers fell through. She's married. That must be Henry Nissen. He seems to be quite an influencial lobbyist at the Capitol. Nearly got kicked out last Monday but they couldn't do it4He was too big. Ha,,' and the Senator recognizes two more. Those must be Eveylne Compton and Ag' nes Walden. What are they doing now? Ch nothing much-they just married a couple of millionaires. Not bad, eh? Oh, I know this fellow-isn't he Dawson Pomeroy who threw down farming for Hollywood? He felt the world appreciate his face more than his prunes. I hear he's a second Lon Chaney, ejaculated the Senator. Howdy, boys! they all cried in unison, and sailed past.

Say, who are these that blind me so? A Idiot! They are Beatrice Kelley and Dorothy Vierra. They've taken Broadway by storm. Say, I know that man, he's Jack Craver who has just unravelled Einsteirfs theory of relativity so that the rest of us poor heathens can at least understand the fourth and hfth dimensions. I'll have to have a talk with him. Oh, yeh he's a great guy, but Henry Perry is just as great. He's the football coach at Yale. Safafy, there's Ralph Berry and Ted Keech.
