'6Why, lim D01'0thY Nichols, only Iive changed my name to Evangeline Petersf' said a very small girl. Good grief, youire not that fifteen year old evangelist that's been giving a series of lectures in the New York nightclubs against the violation of the Volstead Act?', asked Jane Fraleigh unbelievingly. Well, I guess I am! And lVIiriam Gorham has been my example of the effects of drinking alcoholic beverages, although she's never had anything stronger than an aspirin in a glass of grape-juice in all her lifef' What have you been doing, Harriet?,' asked the pseudonefarious example of the curse of drink. Oh, she won't tell you, but I will, said Fraleigh. 'cShe,s been nursing the Sing-Sing convicts, the principal part of her nursing being to put hot-water bot- tles on their little tootsies on cold nightsf' Yes, that,s true, said Harriet, and Jane has been one of the best wardens Sing-Sing ever hadf, Why, we're stopping! said Lee. This is Paris,', said one of the stewards. iWVe're picking up quite a crowd of Drew girls here. , Sure enough, there was a throng of girls waiting to board the ship, as they were going directly on to Madrid. There were' Edine Bruggeman, Cynthia Lowry, Helen Murrie, Janette Phelps, Harriet MacIntyre, and Nancy Mc- Intosh. Last to be seen rushing for the boat was Irma Mascellaro. She had two small children by the hand, and was haranguing them in French. By her side was another girl, Gloria Peshmalyan. She was carrying a large basket out of which peeped an Angora kitten. ' They all came on board hastily. Well, Irma, what,s happened to you?,' said her old Hcrushv, Kay Spelman. g'La Marquise de Valois is my name, if you're endeavoring to address me!,' said Irma haughtily. These are 1ny two children, Paul and Helene. Gloria is their nurse, but they simply can't understand her French, so she takes more care of their kitten than she does of them. You remember she always preferred kittens to children? Why Nancy! You've lost pounds! What've you been doing?,, asked Evelyn Smith enviously. Janette and I took a course at Sorbonne for two years, and have been in the Pasteur Laboratories since then trying to discover a means of pre- venting mice playing hide-and-go-seek in waste-paper baskets at night. Edine was with us some of the time. She and Edna Agor have been conducting a campaign in Belgium to stop the Belgian peasants wearing those wooden shoes, as they give them terrific bunions. And do you know that Harriet MacIntyre took a law course there? Shels now one of the most famous lawyers for handling the divorce cases of Americans in Paris. Just then Cynthia walked over to the group. She started to talk in a foreign tongue, and then remembered that she was among her former classmates. She said, Oh gosh, I can hardly talk English any more. I've been over in Venice for three years trying to break the record for swimming around the main thorough- fares of the city. I met Grace Hinchman there last summer. She's a profess- ional ski-jumper in Sweden in the winter and a Venetian glass-blower in the summer. 4 1

Kay appeared, followed by a various assortment of all widths and'lengths of former Drew girls. They seated themselves in deck chairs, in preparation for, the gab-fest. Well, Gladys, you and Emily tell your story first, said Ruggy. Why, we've had an awfully exciting time being dogcatchers out in Wyom- ing. We specialize in dogs with hydrophobia, for we're famed for having a sooth- ing effect on these mad canines, and have succeeded in nurs1ng.many of them back to sanity and health. But just a week before we left on this cruise Emily was bitten by a particularly unmanageable brute of a chow, and she's been bark- ing ever since. Isn't it so, Emily?,, Arf!,' replied Emily sympathetically backing up her friendis rather alarm- ,t'll Ka comes back. She,s getting some other ing statement.. There was an uncomfortable lull in the conversation after these remarks, but Evelyn Smith came to the rescue with her unfailing tact. Isn't that inter- esting? Iive been studying the jews-harp under a very famous master of it in New York. I find it far more fascinating than the piano. The technique is ever so much more intricatef' Gee, Smitty, you always did have talent. I'm manufacturing jazz for player-pianos all the time, except when I,m taking care of my triplets. exclaimed Ginger ruefully. Perry spoke up, '60h, Ruggy and I are writing copy for the Tribune. I'll let you in on a secret. Florence Catlin is writing 'eHow to develop a beautiful singing-voice for the same paper, only she goes under the name Sadie Snickel- fritz. Just then 'Vera Mallory came towards the group. She had a veil of white muslin drawn over her face. f'Why the shroud?', asked Jean Warner. Well, Tip Sloane's sheik ditched her and picked me instead to grace his harem. Now I'm the chief wardrobe-girl of the harem, and I'm taking this voyage so as to be able to stop off in Paris and get some ideas for new creationsf, Why, I know just the place for you,,' said Jean enthusiastically.

'lhey were greeted ir friends, and soon had told their experiences durlng the enthusiastically by the . . three years absence. Julia had been one of the best bull throwers 1n Spain. Ruth Rockwell and Willena Dykeman were the kingis favorite Spanish dancers. They were millionaires, for they had endorsed the use of every brand of toothpaste from Squibb's to Listerine. Vi Poole and Peg Hewitt were busy introducing Shakespearean plays to the Spaniards. Vi played Hamlet, and Peggy was Ophelia. Priscilla Davis had married a Castile soap king, and was on her way to get a divorce from him. He was such a fanatic on the soap question that he wouldn't permit a bar of Ivory in the house. The ship had left Madrid two days before. She was sailing in the blue waters of the Mediterranean. Suddenly the cry of Stowaway! was heard. Everyone rushed up on deck to discover an irate Captain Speckel holding '6Salty by the ear. She was dressed in boy's clothes, but that fuzzy hair of hers gave her away. Well, All Salter, what have you to say for yourself Pi, sternly demanded Speck. c'Gee, I've been hoe-boeing for years. It's just my luck to be caught now. For a while I was a taxi-cab driver in New York, but the life became too tame after I knocked down twenty pedestrians, so I decided to sneak aboard this ship and stay till we landed at Cairo. Iive always wanted to study about those Egyptlan mummiesf, I guess we'll have to forgive you dear, but for mercy sakes, get some decent clothes .on.', said poor scandalized Harriet Raynor.
