3 :ills Ly11ne: No, George Mason, Frank Canfield and William Livingston are the proprietors of the Snail Taxi Company. John Ahrens was the fellow Who brought me here. Can 't you remember how he used to run that old Ford around school? I: Yes, but I had hoped he would get over that. I suppose we might just as well start to write the invitations and to call some of the people up and tell them of the date. I was just reading Hon. Richard Needham 's inaugural ad- dress to the people of Iowa when you came in. tPiek up paper and begin reading to myselfj Can't you just picture our friend Dick drawing himself to his full majestic height and fearlessly voicing his untarnislied opinions? Lynne: Yes, we all had great hopes for Richard. I: Oh, hereis something interesting. This article about the inaugural ad- dress was written by Hazel VVilson, his private secretary. Lynne: fLooking over my shoulder, reading the papcr.j IVhat's this down here about Redman? I: It isn't Corwin, is it? Lynne: Yes, it is. Let's see- Mr. Corwin Redman, a follower of Burbank, has perfected, after years of experimenting, a tearless onion. V I: Good for Corwin, trust him to look after the poor lady housewife. Lynne: fContinuing to readj Mr, Redman is to be the guest of honor at a dinner given by the 'Squeeze a Dollar Club' of which Charles Brockett is president. I: The trying duties of a class teacher laid the foundation for Charles' present position, I suppose. Lynne: The speaker of the evening is to be Carroll Mellin, who has chosen as his subject, The Latest Methods of Embezzling Funds. I: IYho would have thought the quiet, reserved Carroll Mellin would be an after dinner speaker. Lynne: Let's read Grace Everly's advice to the lovelorn. fTurns pages and reads silently for a few momentsj Oh, Effie, listen to this letter: My dear Miss Everly: Indeed, I considered myself quite iiattered upon the receipt of your recent request. I shall be very glad to take your place, Grace, if you consider me capable of giving advice to those treading the path of courtship. I will come to your office, IVednesday morning. Sincerely yours, fSignedj Alice Balzer. I: We want to be sure and read the replies Thursday. That reminds me, what is Aliee's sister Geraldine, doing? Lynne: Geraldine and Vera Paulding are the accompanists for Louise Batch- elor during her tour of Europe. 7, I: So they are still in Europe? I remember reading in the London Gazette that their last performance in Europe was to have been last month. Lynne: They were encouraged to stay longer, and this they did after secur- ing Gladys Heifner as an addition to their company. You know Gladys just finished her tour of South America a month ago. I: Yes, Elsie Latta told me in her last letter that she had heard Gladys la 1 ' Ch'l ' p Y some p ace in 1 e. Lynne: What is Elsie doing in Chile? I: Oh, Elsie, just yesterday, took it upon herself to be the world tennis champion. There should be something about it in the paper tonight. CPick up paperj Yes, here it is. Let's read it. 21
