As I look out my window I see the messenger boy coming up the walk. As I go to the door, he says, Telegrams for Mr. Morman. As I open them I see they are Telegrams of Regret from the graduates of 1952. The first one is as follows: , Am a leading dramatic soprano Metropolitan and Chicago Opera Companies. Substantial, but not fat. Sing Marguerite tonight. Signedw You wouldn't expect her to count her words, and she doesnlt, but she is l evidently still careful with her calories.
