After the fair I hurry to catch the next boat for France, and a few hours later I am walking through the streets of romantic Paris. Fol- lowing my nose, I come to an Elite Shoppe owned by Joyce-Carol Soncek, who manufactures rare and exotic K erfutnery from worn-out rubber tires. And all the ftimgl thought it was made from real soybeans! As Xelgre having a cozy chat, who should come in but se two lovely countesses, Marlene Edwards and Je n Boehlke. They tell me of their scenic Renais- 1 'l't ' s ce chateaux, and invite me to visit them. We leave fit Qihe Shoppe, and on the way we come to the famous jisgg, lijEiffel Tower. We decide to go up to the top, and as ff 'nto the elevator we are greeted by the oper- ator, Fr nk 'f, who entertains us with an account I of fheslfiistory of ance.

But find- ing that the lessons take longer than I thought, l leave St. Moritz and head for Interlaken, one of the internationally famous resorts of Switzerland. At the social center of town is the Kursaal Casino, an amuse- ment palace boasting a concert hall, theater, and an American bar. Entering the theater, I am just in time to hear Nick Masotti, the owner of the casino, intro- duce the celebrated Barbara Seablom who shoves out her piano, and plays the stirring overture to William Tell with two drumsticks in each hand. There is a clatter of hooves and Jack Slottag, the eminent Shakespearean actor, rushes out with his little bow and arrows. After the play I find that I have to leave Switzerland, and I hurry to catch the next train to pretty little Holland, and the ancient university town of Leyden. Wandering through the quaint cobbled streets, I see a long black figure approaching, and as I come nearer I see it is my old friend Leonard Lueb- king, the most famous chimney-sweep in all Holland. A little further on is the University, and as I enter I am greeted cordially by the president, Lyle Gillman, who has just completed a thesis on the evolution of the flea, and has astounded zoology professors with his starting discoveries concerning the insect. I enter a classroom and find two botany professors, Barbara Koch and Thelma Ewert, being barraged with questions from the students. Leaving the poor professors cower- ing behind their desks, I proceed to the immense library, where I find, after searching for two hours through piles of books, the librarians, Harriet Holles and Joyce Holmstrom, busily compiling a new un- abridged dictionary of scientific experiments and an- alyses of the last 50 years in the field of perfecting the elasticity of bubble-gum bubbles. There is a shattering explosion and I see the librarians' aides, Mary Lou Filczer and Marie Reher, struggling to loosen themselves from the folds of a 20-pound bub- ble. Leaving them to their struggles, I find a student snoring gustily in a corner. Turning her over, I dis- cover my old classmate Marion Leider, who is having a wonderful dream in technicolor, no less! Ah, it's a beautiful forest-but wait-there's a man stagger- ing around in circles! Why-it's my old pal Tom Lauman, and he seems to be lost in a trackless wilder- ness! Gosh, I've just time to catch the next Strato- Iiner back home! So long, old pals! Ssssssswish-- hey! taxi!

PIIIIPHIIIY Happy New Year, 1971! How the years roll by! It seems only yesterday that I was finally graduating with honors at my old alma mater, Benny High, way back in 1951. Ah, the class of '51! That was a class. I wonder if my fellow colleagues have attained their goals in life? Well, enough of nostalgia for now. l've just received news of my promotion as foreign correspondent for the New York World Tidbits. l'm off to cover my first assignment! A jetocab pulls up to take me to the airport and I find that the driver is none other than the fa- mous hot-rod Teddy Masters, my old classmate. He starts to tell me of his sixty-two medals he's won for speeding, but two minutes later we arrive at the airport. While I'm waiting in line for my ticket, my eye falls on a poster advertising Zippy Toothpaste. On the poster is a picture of Marcia Lauzon, who has been voted Miss Zippy of 1971! I finally reach the ticket window, and there is my old friend Johnny Sanecki, who slips me a ticket free of charge. Thank- ing him, I hurry to my seat on the Stratoliner and sink down in the plushy cushions. Down in the cushions I come face to face with Allan Coltrin, my seat partner, who entertains me with hit songs on his triple-decker harmonica. Barbara Gibbs and Betty Lou Anderson, the airline hostesses, escort us to the cocktail lounge where the floor show is in' progress. Norman Fisk, the M.C., introduces the famous min- strel act of the Sugar Candy Babies -Edith Courte- nay and Darleen Whitney. They give a rendition of hot-lips with Edward Wandersee accompanying them on his trombone-the only bone in existence that can play itself while doing a jig to the Highland Fling. Next on the programme are four lovely torch singers, The Beauty-Shop Quartet, Elaine Pitt, Jo-Ann Wilson, Diane Thomas, and Lorrayne Holquist. Then Adele Hendricksen and her all-male revue of fashions opens the De Luxe fashion parade. Her featured models are the famous cover-boys Jim DeCoste, Tom Franzen, John Freeman, James Hilliger, and Ernie Jonas. After the boys have gracefully left the stage, Robert Anderson introduces his all-girl modeling ex- travaganza, featuring thoseiluscious stars There 'T Kratochvil, Betty Linder, Mary Ann Luby, H en Schambach, and Dolores Wissing. As the grand fi ie, Leeamore Storms comes out and gives a two- lou demonstration on how to make all those lovely I - tions the models were wearing. After the sho I trudge wearily to my private bedroom, and the next thing I know we have arrived at my first stop, Reyk- janaes, Iceland, where I find a crowd of Eskimos gath- ered around Nancy and Norma Gaitsch, who are ,,...f-Q-XJ teaching the natives how to make decorati ower centerpieces for the table. Leaving t m, an saun- tering over to the local trading st, I find D lores Bresee, Lois Wendt, and Pauli e Smith, who are ser- iously considering ordering supply of Robert Yo e's Candied Whale Lumps But time is fleeting, s I leave the girls and, op aboard Norma 5Rjte, r's i i cruiser, which es regular runs betwei I lltgl nd ' il . and Ireland- or only S60 one way! ng prim, and Marlen Caba, sailotetes, ho sing a itt e aboutffohffdeck, I bump into Olgj .fue- X fi I I sea-ditty, I -M 3 ' , ?1 la-'f!,T t, ix, l've bee working the ratlines -v xx X All e livelong day -mx J!

There I and gaze open-mouthed at the beautiful vibra- olor portraits of the Leprachauns by that brilliant artist, Mary Lou Szabo. As a special treat, Pat Frankman presents her all-girl western rodeo, with those dare-devil trick riders, Wanda Hoyt and Marlene Hayes. As a featured attraction, Russell .t
