Kiely, Gertrude Twiname, Mary Schepens, Betty Wolfe, America's leading inovelist, and her inseparable chum Marie Curry. I felt so proud the other day, continued Mary Agnes, when I heard judge Ann McCluskey commend Johanna Sullivan and Mary Barrett for the stand taken by them with regard to their clients. I just imagined that we were back again in Cathedral after I had read the praise Mary O'Brien gave to Marie Mullane's and Marguerite Hugue's book of Sonnets and to Mary Leurele's book on 'World Problemsf In her preface, Mary thanked Professor Rita Carlin of Columbia, Prof fessor Mary Caskin of Smith and Professor Eileen Curtin of Vassar. Yes, I added, I happened to see Mary Woolley's recent play that Irene Mc Donnell, Helen Curtin, Rita Clymer and Veronica I. Murphy dramatized under the direction of Frances Sullivan. Florence Long was publicity agent and Philomena Lo Guidice and Hilda Miscione were the dress designers. By the way, Eugenia Corbera and Anne Dowling gave it remarkable 'Writefups' in the 'Evening Postf Suddenly we were interrupted by a smile of recognition. It was Mildred Vogel, Winsome and cheerful as ever, Mildred was president of a brokerage in Wall Street and incidentally an able politician. The last time I was at the legislature she remarked, it seemed like a Cath' edral reunion. Catherine Farrelly astonished the entire assembly by her tenfhour filibuster. She was seconded by her colleagues, Vivienne Fille, Sarah Culligan and Althea Reid, whereas she was ably opposed by Margaret Hedlund and her followers, Loretto Bruen, Veronica C. Murphy, Eleanor Cunningham and Margaret P. O'Connor. Yes she continued Wall St. is teeming with the class of '31. Why, Martha Leik, Mary Matzok, Grace Bacigalupo, Marion Woodland, Margaret Hickey, Catherine Joyce, Sheila McHugh and Catherine Logan are familiar figures on the Curb and in the Exchange. Glancing at the Sports' Edition, I noticed Catherine Curran's distinguished articles on 'Women in Sportsf She mentioned Betty Fleck, Mary O'Connor, Helen Stevenson as the greatest trio on the basketball court. Then too, she commented on the records of Anna Hiro, Catherine Chrenko, Rita Oakley and Esther Brown, the great golf champions of the country. Mary Agnes then asked, Did you happen to read Helen Henderson's splendid editorial in the 'New York Times' on 'True Welfare Work?' Helen paid a grace' ful tribute to Alice Garvey, Mary Hyland, Mary Gately, Catherine Taylor, Anne judge, Sebastiano Marino, and Helen Donnelly for their wonderful nursing during the great mine disaster. V By the way I supplemented, you must have heard that Virginia Brink, Rita Walsh, jean Dickson, Elsie Cormier, Margaret Davis and Mary Rogers have opened up a kindergarten in White Plains. Yes, continued Mildred, Westchester likes education. Mary A. Flynn is experimenting in spreading Civic Repertory Theatres, together with Rita McCoy, Margaret Horn and Marion Tyddf' 4 One Hundred Twenty fwc

PROPHECY Alighting from a plane I entered a cave. Through winding, intricate labyrinths, merging now into thousands of endless, dim passages, then past dark, secluded caverns and finally peering forth into inky blackness, I hastily followed my guide, a wretched, cackling dwarf with a shining, swinging lantern. My courage mingled with a sense of utter desolation, as I harkened to the sonorous refrain of distant, sensuous music. Then my weird conductor gratefully hissed: Lol Thou approachest the honorable Fates. Ask what thou wilt. Instantly we reached a turning, and I beheld a spacious, tapestried hall, clouded with incense and suffused with the ethereal glow of numerous hanging lamps. Seated on a dais were the three sister Fates, the objects of my quest. In a commanding tone one of these cried, Suppliant, thou seekest the futures of thy classmates? Patience, silence. Only we hold the keys to days not yet inscribed in the annals of man. With visible trepidation, I muttered a faint , Yes, most worthy one! Then came silence, a charged, miserable silence that was finally broken by a harsh command. Bring sleep, Morpheus, I say, Morpheus, thy sleep! Slowly the sisters beckoned me and then from behind a partly raised curtain, I gazed across a panorama of hills now deepening into valleys, of cities stretching toward forests, and rivers gracefully losing themselves in the sea. Drowsiness ruled. I was sinking, softly. Vaguely I imagined. Now thou behold their destiniesf' an eerie voice commanded. A hurried impatient sigh, a muffled turning of leaves, and then I found myself in the cabin of the TransfContinental passenger plane. Truly I was weary, for the past hourwe had been awinging westward past the towering skyscrapers of New York toward the suburban districts of New jersey and Pennsylvania. As yet, my fellow passengers had found little or no time for congeniality and thus I was left to my own resources. Suddenly, I was startled from my reverie by the familiar voice of Mary Agnes Riley. After exchanging brief greetings, we fell into discussing the lots chosen by our sister Cathedralites. Well, you see I'm quite a modern 'womanfaboutftownf casually suggested Mary Agnes, while motoring upfstate, the other day I chanced to stop at a charmf ing teafroom. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the two proprietors to be none other than that happy pair, KathleenMcClaurey and EileenMons. We talked shop and finally exchanged our knowledge about the class of '31. Both of them reside in 'Shadysidef Margaret Brady, Muriel Mackenzie and Catherine Sheehy are some of the prominent members of that 'just married set,' composed mostly of our old Cathedral friends. You must remember them, why, there is Lucy Downing, a rising young journalist, Mary Brennan, style's editor of 'Delineatorf Josephine One Hundred Twentyffouf

Incidentally, I remarked, during my travels in France I was greeted by Gertrude Beruard, Mary Rice and Mary Parker, French correspondents for the Associated Press. I chanced to meet Muriel Reutter and Naomi Clapp in the Louvre successfully sketching the Mona Lisa. We started chatting and they enlightened me as to the whereabouts of some of the other artists. It seems that Lia Bertoni and Elizabeth Potter are illustrators for a fashionable magazine, while Betty Brown has just finished the pictures for Dorothy Feerick's latest novel, Big Money. Really you can not imagine how small this world is, confided Mary Agnes, why, in one afternoon I saw Margaret Henchy over television, Constance Horan and a sextet composed of Dorothy Rafferty, Eleanor Landy, Anne Weir and Mary Flynn, Catherine Takacs and Kathleen Egan played. However, Philomena Tucci, Katherine Trier, and Mary O'Donnell have turned physiologists and are all popular over television. Catherine O'Rourke, Dorothea Taylor, Marie McLaughlin, Evelyn Bardes and Mary Mellor are all famous for their bedftime stories over that indispensible invention-'the radio.' Suddenly, a tanned sportswoman approached our circle. Who could mistake Virginia Wilmoth in the role of an aviatrix? Eagerly she contributed her part to the story of the class of '31. Yes, while recently flying over Arkansas, I chanced to alight in a large Held. I sought the owners and was greeted by the smiling faces of Margaret Maguire, Mary Cleary, Anne Myhan and Lucille Lee who are progressive agriculturistsf' While in Shanghai, she added, I met Helen Hughes, Mary Ryan, Gwendolyn Lee and Catherine Smart, members of Cook's Travelling Agency. It seems Cather' ine is a regular correspondent with Anna Higgins and Mary Vaughan, who are at present engaged in exploding the Einstein Theory on the top of the Alps. Recently I made a tour of inspection in Julia Richman High School, inf terrupted Mildred, I was greeted by Marcella Kuhner, who is head of the Def partment of Latin and is so ably assisted by Margaret Colgan, Marion Bickner, and Claire Lamersg Mary Curry, Majorie Fleming and Margaret Ryan are in the French Department in the same building. Last month, Mary Agnes told us, Ethel Henry invited me to spend the week' end at her home on Long Island. While there we were discussing the Class of '31. Martina Brennan, Mary Freehill and Juliette Lippe are the architects who designed the new Times Building, built under the supervision of Mary Farmer and Mary Kelly. - Again Mildred smiled, Isabella Hastings, Viola Maistre, and Kathleen Leen are congenially located as dieticians for Schraftsg you must recall Helen Roche's and Mary McShane's aptitude for Irish dancing-well, both of them are now happily married in the Emerald Isle, They write to Katherine Knowd and Catherine Tracy, elhciency experts, that their homes are a veritable oasis for Cathedralites travelling abroad, particularly Rose McBride, Dorothy O'Connor and Elizabeth Cowan, all chemists studying in Germany.
