Here, Juha Nlland, Ruth Rockwell, e s p 1 Vi Poole, Prissie Davis, and Willena Dykeman embarked. '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. And Salter was led away by two sailors. Wh Thi Ship was on its homeward course.

'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

dish-washer. Iim inviting you all to dinner there tonight, after which you will go to hear Augusta Morgan's first piano concert tonight, but go easy on the Lobster a la Thermidor. Ann Hoganeur, who keeps the Ritz supplied with sea- food from her fisheries in Maine, has just eloped with a handsome fisherman, and so we haven't been receiving any fish from her since, and havenit found a new place yetf' Gee, Europe sure was wonderful, but New York plus D1'ew's snappy class of '29 has plenty of action for me!,' sighed Kay Spelman joyfully, as the taxi-cab barely missed driving into a trolley-car on the way to Carnegie Hall. Same here!', said Lee Robinson. Let,s give fifteen Hurrahs for D1'6Wl,, This was done willingly and noisily, but blase Broadway didn't even turn its head. Perhaps she would have, had she known that the illustrious class of '29 was on its famous thoroughfare. 413
