Margaret Morse and OreLlana Ewers are still trying to decide upon a vocation. We should have been taught that in high school, don ' t you think? he concluded. Have you seen any good shows lately, I queried. Yes, he said. Roleyn Saul is a hit in ' Golddiggers of 195 7, ' even if she is get- ting slightly grey around the temples. Max Tucker has taken Robert Taylor ' s place — -the girls just won ' t let him alone. They say Marcella Fanning came to America just to play chop sticks in the new show. She is a concert pianist at heart. Charles Jacobs is with Ringling Brothers Circus and has a company of trained fleas. He reports that they have more intelligence than most humans. Gertie Abram- son, Luella Parker, and Josephine White have surpassed all former trapese artists. Charles Purdy is hunting wild game in Africa, I told him. He always did go in for that sort of thing. He has hired the great author, Wava Rose Williams, to write his animal stories for the kiddies ' hour when he returns. Bob said, Remember how you used to kick up your heels and talk about being a ballet dancer? Yes, I remember, I answered, and I haven ' t given up yet. Maybe when I get a little older! I ' m only thirty-seven, you know, and life begins at forty. Why-ah. Well, you see — uh, I ' m sorry, Mr. Handy, er — a — I didn ' t hear the question. ELEANORE BAKSTAD. WELL ! WELL ! WELL !
