rumored that he will be our next President. Dancing with Dorsey on a ballroom floor seemed indeed a thing of the past. “Broadcasting from KWA, Red Cross Relief Station, one of a series of lectures will be given by the nurse in charge of this station, Miss Oleta Barber.” I heard the beginning, “The children's health must be protected.” Well, I was not so badly surprised as 'Leta had made known her intentions many years before. In the midst of my meditations there broke in “The next thing on the program will be a short talk by Mr. Edward Piver on ‘Agriculture.' ” Piver making talks on Agriculture, well he should know what he was talking about. I stopped for a little while, then my fancy turned to Paris. I finally got it and received a great blow. “Gare WKA, Mrs. Margaret Dudley, Ameri- can Ambassador to France, is speaking on ‘International Politics.' ” An- other shock, another school romance! No Lucy Stone League for Margaret Ramsey. “Miss Elizabeth Rumley, an American who has made her home in Paris and who is fast winning a reputation as one of the greatest woman finan- ciers, will afterward make a lecture on ‘American Banking.' ” Another business woman, I mused. In the midst of this I did not get the station— Professor Luther A. Perry broadcasting one of a series of lectures on “The Beauty of the French Language.” Well miracles occasionally happen! Suddenly I thought of that radio announcer. I turned to the broad- caster. I asked questions rapidly of the WXD announcer. In a few min- utes I received these answers “Yes, I am Claude Guthrie, but I am not a lady's man any longer, I went into aviation service after I had finished school. I was Eleanor Ramsey's pilot on her trip to Mars, while we were on that planet I became displeased at something and frowned, I made a terri- ble face at her, and then came one of those freezes which occur so rapidly on that planet. My face froze! I am no longer a Beau Brummel among the women. So I became a radio broadcaster. Daily I make love to thousands of girls who cannot see my face.” “You say Charlie Clifton is the only member of the class from whom you have not heard? No wonder, you could hardly see him. He was dis- appointed in love and lost all his avoirdupois. He is now fast becoming a millionaire as, Bozo the Thin Man, in Barnum Bailey’s circus. This announcement capped the climax. I stopped listening in on the radio and listened in on my own thoughts for a while. Here I had been sitting in my flat and had attended a class reunion without seeing one of their faces. I had heard from them all. How I would like to talk over old times with some of them! However that wish will be gratified when I have dinner to-morrow night with Mrs. Samuel Way, nee Emma Taylor. —SARA RUMLEY. (TWENTY THREE)
