However, before she left me, she told me a bit of news which I was surprised to hear. She told me Priscilla had eloped with a very handsome gentleman to New York City, where they had been quietly married. They were now planning to take a trip to South America. When I arrived at the Harris Theater, the place was packod, but I managed to get to my place in the second bal- cony. As I was looking over the names on the program, the first name was that of Norma Schloff, one of the leading characters. Not until I had seen her perform could I be- lieve it. The audience was wild about her, and showed it by encoring her at least ten times after the final curtain. I sent a messenger to tell her I was there to sec her, and so she received me in her dressing room. The room was filled with flowers, and on one particularly large bouquet I noticed the card — From Jim. Wo talkod over old timos and I asked her about Jim Frederick. She seemed very proud as she told me that ho was recently elected senator from Indiana, and was now in Washington discussing an important bill. I knew Jim would accomplish whatever ho sot out to do. As it was rather late when I got through talking with Nautie, I decided to spend the night in Chicago. The next day was very bright and clear. I purchased a South Shore ticket, and was soon on my way to Gary. After sitting down on the train, I noticed a familiar person across the aisle--oh, Dcrrill Minard, rather stout, but dressed very fashionably, and evidently a big business executive. He pro- ceeded to tell me about himself, saying he was head of a large department at the mill and had just been to Chicago to close a very important business deal. He asked me whether I had heard about Bernard Boylan, who was now a very prominent lawyer. Ho pointed out in the paper an article which told of Bernard ' s splendid work in a murder case. We talked for some time, and he also told me of the suc- cess of Bob Munro. He had broken a high jump record recently and had received a beautiful trophy for it. I was rather amused at this because I had never oxpected Bob to break any high jump records os he was rather short. We soon arrived in Gary. It was good to be in Gary again I It was still basically the same, but there were many now stores and restaurants along Broadway. As I was walking along, I met anothor old classmate of mine, Margaret Thompson. She was in a nurse ' s uniform and looked very attractive. She told me she was now a registered nurse, and was just going out on a special case, I wasn ' t surprised, as I knew Anna always wanted to be a nurse, and I was sure she was a good one.
