Oh, no, not that dull map of your geography lessons, but a gorgeously animated map full of the most familiar faces. The Whole World seems so very excited, for Miss Audrey Weiser America has just completed a Fourth of July cruise on her 160th birthday. EDNA HAWAII: Oh, I do hope she liked that dance. Beverly and Arline and Evelyn prepared those leis especially for her! ARLINE ESKIMOLAND: Ughl Ughl Betcha my life she likum my boys! They sing fine. Ugh! Ugh! Oh come and live in Eskimoland, it's really velly nice. There's nothing cold about it except the cold and ice. Ughl We show her nice patriotic weather! Her nose get red, her ears get white, her lips get blue. LA ISABELLE FRANCE: Oo la la! So young, Miss America, for her 160th birthday! Who said ze figure doesn't lie? Ah, how I hope she like ze portrait Constance and Judy paint for her. DORIS SWITZERLAND: Oh up she went-tra la la-all out of breath. We're mountain climbers soboldl One step forward and three steps back: your foot slips and then you grab hold. Ha, hal How fast that Captain Irma Newman told his sailors to go back to level earth. SELENE NORWAY: Oh hum, I'm still sleepy from the song my little Norwegian children sang to her. Everything is upside down, now the sun is out of town. I'm still yawning. Off to bed now we must go, there to stay six months or so: tucked in till the next sunbeam, think of all that we can dream! Ho! Hum! '

Nor do our young ones lack the skill to work with metal as you may observe here in the work of Elaine Eisen, Elaine Davidson and Arline Ereidlanderf' Our young braves do well, said the great Natibou approvingly. That is not all, continued the other, these large copper bowls, book- ends, ash-trays, candy dishes, candlesticks and desk sets have been hammered out by our older tribesmen, Muriel Helfman, Edna Kaufman and Phoebe Weinstein. This swift-footed brass deer is the Work of brave Corinne Dubois. And here you see the tribal emblems in copper and silver: this fish, the work of Helen Lewis, the leaf by Edith Engelson, the horse's head by June Saltzman. These beautiful pewter bowls are the handiwork of Freda Siegel and Julia Doelidf' I am pleased with the work of these braves, the great Wanipum Maker remarked. Are they equally skilled in the craft of leather and in the essential art of trinket-making for self-adornment? Oh judge for yourself, great Natibouf' said the tribesmen. Here is the leather desk set Betty Geller made for her father, and here the work of Selene Davidson, Felice Linder and Dorothy Urelesf' Our eldest braves. he continued, are the most skilled in the making of rings, earrings and bracelets. Brave Connie Gottlieb's ring and Bobbie Selverne's earrings can uphold the best traditions of our tribe. Then spoke the great Wampum Maker Natibou, I have seen and I return happy. Even as your tribe is skilled in play and in competition, it is advanced in the arts and crafts. You have done fine and worthy work and I am content. THE SKETCH CLUB War paint has its place in the best of Indian society, but oil and water color paints seemed to attract our braves even more. Our sketchers went 'in for artistic scalpin,g, and J Connie Reichbach, for one, returned triumphant with the head of Muriel Helfman, a line drawing indeed. Besides portrait Work and figure drawing, our talented tribesmen fixed their - ' ' knowing eye upon the scene, and, like Beverly Blickman, did some very effective landscapes. Muriel Simon made a good beginning on her boast that she'll be a fashion illustrator When she grows up. So much fun did our artists have expressing themselves that they elected to stay home to Work with Polky on a Tuesday when their fellow braves went off a-trail-blazing. And so much did they accomplish that they proudly hung their trophies in the Social Hall for all the world to see and admire.

' ESTELLE STATUE OF LIBERTY: Well, she had a pretty good time on her trip. but she looked mighty happy to get home-and say, I didn't mind giving my arm a rest, either! VICTOR KTHE VICIOUS VIPEPXD July 12, 1936 Social Hall DERE CHLOE2 Lawdy, what a day ah done have! This morning we was all set for the big house-party, and everything was a-goin' fine. The girls was a bit jittery about their lil brother finding out, and Connie even wore that ole bathrobe for luck. She and Janet fJanet's the one who looks like Judy Weiss, and Connie's more like that Carol Davidsonj. Well, they most had a nervous breakdown trying to keep that chile Victor off the phone and away from the door! QHe's always bringing me to mind of Arline Van Praag, too.j Pshaw, everything looked mighty fine, and ah most had that jinx-chile packed off on his way, when in walks that Dudley-you know, that one who looks kind of like Phyllis Merson. lVly soul, did he shore sp-ill the beans! Well, Chloe, right off that Victor boy gets' himself a deaf and dumb attack. Oh my, what a morning! 'Fhere's Connie a-frettin' and Janet all upset and ah's just all mixed up. It's a mighty lucky thing Jan's boy friend--that nice looking Norman Joy Ostriker-walks in. He sho' got busy right off! Victor's attack didn't bother him nohow. He just gets the queerest ole doctor-Von Von Weiner- schnitzel something--must be related to Eleanor Linder, ah guess-and sakes alive, he climbs most into that Victor's neck and wants to operate right on the table, in the living room like that. He's all set to shave Victor's head, when, sakes alive, don't you think that chile got his voice back! Queerest thing, ah calls it. I'm all wore out-first the packing, then Victor, and having all those young folk dropping in. Lois and Beatty and Marion and Floyd Gibbons Siegel. I'm glad they're all on their way for the week-end party at last. Yore cousin, GERANIUIVI CBEVERLY SCHNITZERD P. S. Ah thinks that Dr. VonSchI1einerwitzel kinda liked Miss Connie.
