THE BLUE MOON 25 June 16th. Went to a fashion show last night. Bought some lovely frocks for the little girls. To my surprise, Dottie Elias was the manager of the show and is on her way to Paris to buy some models for B. Altman. She certainly wears the most stunning clothes, and still has that school-girl com- plexion and those archy eye-brows. June 17th. Last day out. Class luncheon and such a jolly good time. Fancy eight out of the class being on the ship at the same time! Perfect voyage. - Later. Ruthie Brown suddenly appeared from nowhere. She has been sick the whole trip. Poor Ruthie- she surely made up for lost time when she did recover. She confided to me that three men on board had proposed to her already, but she didn't want to be tied to 'any man. Ruthie is a permanent waver and many people have taken up her fluffy bob. BARBARA PIERPONT tin collaboration withj CHRISTINE NYE HAVILAND SENIOR WILL WE, the Class of 1932 of the Bancroft School, in the County of Worcester.
