16 SAMARA NEWS OF OLD GIRLS {The Editor will be very glad to receive any news of old Elmwoodians, for insertion in the next magazine.) Margaret Adams is at school in Bronxville, New York. Amy AsHiON is one of the season ' s debutantes; she came out at a dance given in her honour at the Chateau Laurier in November. LoRNA and Mary Blackburn, and also Nancy MacCarthy and Kathleen Guthrije, are at a finishing school in Paris, and have just spent their holidays in Algiers. Vera Birkett is now Mrs. Henry Gill. She was married a year ago, and is living in Ottawa. Gwendolyn Borden, since leaving Elmwood, has been at school both in England and in Paris. She was one of this year ' s debutantes; Mrs. Borden gave a delightful dance for her at the Country Club. Marjorie Borden. We are very sorry that, owing to ill- health, Marjorie had to leave Elmwood, but we are so delighted to have her as such a near and interested neighbour that we do not feel she has really left us. Ruth Bostock is in England at the Godolphin School, Salis- bury. Beryl and Monica Brett are in England. We understand that Monica was especially mentioned in a dramatic contest judged by Sir Martin Harvey, in London. Beryl is in the midst of her University career, and is fulfilling the promise shown by her studiousness at school. Mrs. Buck has heard from Monica and Beryl each Chirstmas since 1920 — but has had no address! Can anyone give it? Amea Brewin has, until this year, been living in Toronto, but is now visiting relations in England. She is also making flying visits to the Continent. She is keeping up her music and singing. Betty Burstall we have not heard from lately and we conclude she is still at school in Brussels. We shall be glad to have news of her.
