The fleecy clouds go swiftly by, and fre- quently we are sailing through them. The Trans-Continental Air Express is due in Ylfashington within the hour. Below we see valleys carpeted with green and dotted with wild flowers, the children playing in the sunshine, and the farmer's wife waving a salute as we sail byg a trail of smoke from the Railway Limited resembling a mammoth ser- pent crawling through space in the rear, and now, in the distance, barely dis- cernable, the dome of the Capitol-my first glimpse of Washingtoii, where Presi- dent Gelder Robinson, Congressman jack Spenser, Stuart Quern and Jack Mil- stead, the leading lawyers of the Nation's C'apital, are bringing to pass that which was predicted by the Class Prophetess of ,2l. Baltimore, our next stop. We tarry long enough to shake hands with Miss Rutledge Dudley, Physical Director of the Y. W. C'. A., and her assistants, Misses Margaret Brown and Mary Keesler, who inform us that Dan Mallery is Chief Playground Director of Baltimore. In Philadelphia, we are greeted by Miss Minnie Silverstein, Private Secretary to John Wannamaker, and Mr. Franklin Davidson, who is in charge of the mail order department. Arriving in New York, we attend Grand Opera and hear our old friends, Sarah Ledwell, Loraine Bates, and Elizabeth Ledwell sing, while Miss Annie May Hayes presided at the piano. Sunday, raining, and confined to our hotel, the Wfaldorf-Astoria, but heard the morning sermon of Dr. David Yates, of Trinity Church by Amplified Tele- phone installed in our rooms. 78

. ' - X . 5 .,.n!ll r N ' 45 'l1'lll Monday evening, we pressed the button and upon the wall was shown the latest movie, starring Miss Frances Partlow and Miss Viola Maner. During the same evening, we visited the Rappe Fashion Show at the invitation of Miss Mary Sossomon, the chief designer, and were glad to meet again Misses Eloise Wall, Elizabeth Fore and Margaret Harrelson, who are her assistants. As we were going down Fifth Avenue, we met Professors Richard Littlejohn and James Query, members of the faculty of Harvard. Atlantic City, with its throngs of hilarious humanity, is indeed a refuge to the soul with a melancholy inclination. We stopped at the Marlborough-Blenheim, of which Alexander MeMillan is the manager, with his able assistant, Mrs, McMillan Qnee Miss Mildred Shepherdj. o At the theatre, we found Henry Wyly and Marcus Hawkins star comedians. The next morning we received by mail, a Charlotte Observer, and in the social column we read that Mrs. -I. Owen Woodside Cnee Miss Mildred Lubbockj is visiting relatives in New York 3 that Dr. Woodside is a skilled surgeon, connected with the Mayo Sanatorium. We also read that Miss Olive Scarratt has accepted the position as head nurse in Bellevue Hospital, New York. The Governor of North Carolina, Frank Ivy, will speak at twentieth of May celebration and will be introduced by Mayor jack London. Miss Maria Rose, returned missionary to China, will lecture at the City Auditorium. Misses Lucy Holmes Carson, Louise Gibbon, Virginia Whitlock, and Margaret Roberts have returned recently from Washington, where they attended the Inaugural Ball. Misses Margaret Jones and Sarah Dunlap will attend the Suffragettels Convention at Los Angeles. Miss Malvena Alexander is spending a year in Europe for study of music. Read- ing further I notice that Miss Martha Harris has just completed a book of poems, which the critics consider excellent, also that Mr. Edgar Curlee received first prize in an art contest in Paris. . The day is ideal and as we rise above the city, homeward bound, we wave farewell to the boardwalk and its gaieties: just a few hours and we will be home again, andthe tales we'll tell of the sights we've seen will be varied and never ending, yet, with all the wonders of the larger cities, I still agree with John Howard Payne, that There's no place like home g especially when home is in Charlotte. -M.
