Genes, Vera McLaurin, Elizabeth Sykes, Marjorie Morris, and Elsie Peoples are clerks. Ste- nographers for the firm are: Marguerite McLaurin, Kathryn Stone, Dorothy Sykes, Pauline Hall, and Frances Askea. Sarah Jackson and Kathleen McBennett are the chief secretaries. Bobby Baucum helps manage the home town store. Howard Grifhn, Frank Burton, and Cecil Lee keep the accounts, L. G. Dew and William Driver take care of all important books and records. Wonder how many nights a week the owners Cwho told me they were out to be ladies'-men'i?J work-with the secretaries or stenographers? And, oh yes, Paul Autry, whom I always wanted to be a preacher, drew up the plans for the Fayetteville building. Speaking of buildings, I guess you've heard of the awful Jernigan fire. They say Rupert's business was all but ruined. He runs a Parisian style shop, you know. Anne Burkhead gave up her dramatic career so that she and Betty Paige Shepherd could design the gowns. Eve- lyn Rose Simon tries to sell them to prospective customers, and the customers wear them- they hope. Fires really are awful things, often resulting in much tragedy. Are you sure your hospital is fire-proof? If not, call on inventor Francis Bullard for help. No use burning until you have to. Of course you want to know what has happened to Eddie Joyner. Anne found out all about it from Mary Pittman, who is the telephone operator in the Joyner Lovely Ladies' Luxuries building. He sells all sorts of beauty hints to the young women of the world. Anne Mclnnis is practically boss of the firm, Ruth Fuqua and Frances Jackson aid her. Ira Blue Canady keeps an account of the firm's debts. Lacy Geddie and Ralph Hall test the creams for impurities. Speaking of beauties, I hear that Roy Sappington is in the U. S. Coastguard service. Do lovely girlsturn over in boats? Or what do the coast-guards do? So Stacy Hair pulls teeth! And J. L. Johnson, Frank McFayden, Jim McLeod, Robert McMillan, Thomas Cheshire, and Laurence Nichols are getting wealthy selling tobacco. Will you need to borrow money for funeral expenses? Guess what! Bettie London Wooten and Mary Coit Tillinghast have run away to Holly- wood! Bettie London was the world's loveliest debutante, and Mary Coit was teaching ex- pression. Teaching reminds me: Agnes Howard teaches English, Jackie Herring, health and physical education, Ethel Stevens, home economics in Lea Brown's school. When it comes to home, has Frances Sloan married yet? I hear she's succeeded in making quite enough money in her athletic work to support them both. And has Cantey DeVane chosen between her loyalty to the Navy and marrying into the Army? School reminds me of something else Anne said. She told me that engineers of all types are as prominent as Hitler was when we were young. She remembered about all of them: Fred Crowson, Jimmy Coiner, Billy Byrd, George Burriss, Von Autry, Bryan Beckwith, Jack Ratts, Alfred Riddle, Jack Rhodes, and James Roberts are a few. And last but not least, in the way of peace and quiet, the president has just sent Jack Stubbs over to some far-off country to see what Jack can do to promote peace. It's really nice up here. Perhaps I'd better stop now. I just wanted to write you a letter to cheer you up. I hope I'll see you soon. Your loving friend, Eleanor McRae. 21 LN
