George Tucker is Astoria’s leading attorney and is well-known for his suavity of manner and his oratorical powers. Adeline Olson is the pious wife of a Methodist minister, and her time is com¬ pletely taken up with church affairs. Frances Danielson is married to a prominent Astoria florist. Meade French and Wenona Dyer have taken over the management of Cotillion Hall. Zoe Allen has just published a book called “The new method of Spelling.” Elsa Larson travels about the country giving lectures to high school students on the value of study. Herbert Wilson has gone back to France to the French wife he left behind him. The second day 1 was in Astoria I went down town to see what improvements had been made in the old place. I was astounded at the change in Commercial street, but I wasted only a few minutes there for a building on Bond street loomed so far above everything else that 1 could not rest until 1 had seen what is was. As J approached it I read the words “Stickle Gum Factory” in glaring letters. 1 should have gone on without a thought had I not seen thru an office window upstairs, the profile of a man. 1 knew him at once by the systematic manner in which he was chewing gum. It could be none other than Stanley Stickle. 1 im¬ mediately went up to see him and he showed me his factory. Ellen Carlson is his book-keeper. I had quite a talk with Stanley, lie told me that he just received a letter from Thomas Sandoz, who, by the way is the leading New York designer of women’s apparel. Thomas said he had just come from a cabaret where he had seen Ernestine Gove doing some clever toe-dancing. As I left the factory 1 noticed a small notion store across the street with the sign “Keller Reith Notion Counter.” I did not fail to visit Astoria High while 1 was in Astoria, and I was surprised to find a few acquaintances there. It was the first day of the new semester, and I noticed that the students were still scrambling madly to get into Miss Badollet’s classes, and also that Mr. Elton proceeded to weed them out with his usual gentle manner. And who do you think I saw as I passed Miss Baker’s old class room? None other than Ben Hanson, teaching an English III class. 1 am leaving tonight so must close. Very sincerely, NELL TENBROOK. P. S. So Dorris Hoefler is married again! Is that the fourth or the fifth time? 25
