Now that it was almost time for school to open and I had promised to teach again at the Woman's College, I found that I must return to Richmond at once. On reach- ing the college, I found that Janet had been chosen lady principal for the next 'year and that Sudie was to teach violin. It seemed like old times to have Janet and Sudie with me and tell them of my pleasure trip, especially of seeing every one of our class-mates of those High School Days.

Leaving New Orleans, I traveled on through many western towns to San Francisco. Ward had told me that David was living in San Francisco, and while there I look- ed him up. I found that he was the famous prize fighter of the West. After making a tour of all the beautiful western cities, Istarted East stopping at Chicago.

The only change I found in Albert was that he spelled his name differently. He was very famous for painting magazine covers. From New York, I ran up to New Haven, where I had the pleasure of visiting Yale College. There I was glad to find that Cyrus was one of the best professors in the college. On my way from New York to Washington, I stopped in Philadelphia to visit a friend who was ill at the Frank- fort Hospital. After finding that Minnie was her physi- cian and Blanche her nurse, I knew she would soon recover. When I boarded the train for Washington, Imet Roy, who said that he was playing second baseman for the Bos- ton Nationals and was then on his way to play a game in Chicago.
