That was from the Spring- field Hospital. Do you know who is on the nurses’ staff? Mary Beauchane, Betty Bailey, Aldah Hollo- way, and Gertrude Jensen. Catherine Spaight is a dietitian there. At present she's trying to work out a successful diet for Kate Smith. She bases her diets on lamb chops and grape-fruit. Lamb chops—remember Harold Bailey and all those prizes he used to win exhibiting his lambs? Well, today he is head of sheep judging in New England. Yes, and Muriel Fraser is supervisor of dressmaking in all the 4-II Clubs in Massachusetts. Oh, did you read in the paper the other day about the Bloom-Astor wedding? They say it was the most brilliant wedding of the season. So Libby finally got her handsome man, didn’t she? Who conducted the ceremony? The Right Reverend Gensheimer. You know, Hank is getting in bad with the husbands of his congrega- tion. You see, none of the women who go to his church can resist him. Everyone calls him “Hand- some Hank, the Home Wrecker. And I suppose Anna Cascella was right there to get their autographs. She's always around when any- thing important is going on. Every time! She hasn't missed any of the important people. Even our radio star, John Kennedy, and the tap dancing sailor, Robert Hennessey, have written in her autograph book. Anna was a good kid just— Lena! Look at the time! (looks at wrist watch.) Now I will be late with that report. We’ve been talk- ing so long that Grant Sackett must be out of the hospital by now! ADELE SWANSON, LENA LODI.
