She has ofhces in San Francisco and with the help of her large staff is conducting an Advice to the Lovelornn column for all Hearst newspapers. Elsie Smithls wonderful success as a Ford saleslady can only be attributed to the fact that she is so completely sold on the car herself so that it needs only her live-wire talking ability to make one demonstration fatal to the most difficult customer. As for Mattie Haskew-she has followed her natural geometrical bent into astronomy and is located at the Mt. Vlfilson observatory in Pasadena, California, where she has focused the attention of our world upon Mars by discovering living creatures thereon. But why the crowd, and whence that red hair protruding from the muzzle of yon monster cannon? Tears dimmed Mattiels eyes as she explained that although every detail of an experimental flight to Mars had been carefully worked out so that it was thought that nothing could possibly go wrong, no one but Alice Anderson could be found with enough daring to allow herself to be hred from a cannon and ascend close enough to take a few movies of the living creatures on Mars. All this was a month ago. Alice was supposed to descend by parachute at once, but has since been observed through the powerful telescopes as moving about among the Martians in an apparently carefree and happy manner. There is no doubt that Alice has turned over another page in the history of the world and opened the way for the colonization of Mars. jean Jensen spends most of her time on a ship, but not the kind you are thinking of. She is a tourist guide on the Sahara and wouldnlt trade her Hship of the desert for all the ships that sail the seas. She lives in a tent and camps wherever she pleases at night. Asked if she is ever lonely, she replies that her lone star-light' meditations on the desert are the best part of her life and she hnds the company of her camel much more interesting than that of most of the tourists she meets. Olive Carlson-shhhhh l She is whispered to be the most remarkable detective of all time, but we dare not disclose her identity nor her present field of operation. All we can say is that the strongest crime rings in the U. S. are broken up through her wizard-like schemes of attack. At the rate she is going, the end of all crime is in sight, for she is no ordinary Sherlock Holmes, her piercing eye needs no magnifying glass to detect a clue, nor does she need a VVatson to applaud her every success. This ends the chronicle of the Firland Nurses whom we knew in l933, and having finished it's perusal you will all agree that regarding the red crossed symbol which Olows from Firland's spire we can surely remark with Shakespeare, How 6 far that little candle throws it's beams I ,tag , WS'-if . -m, 11 I 1. . , 55' rr a

Naturally, Halloween being a night for revelry, our Family to enjoy the hilarity. HAT old witch ulously became infants fwould you and humans became rollicked through the hospitals to enable less fortunate ones Dancing and cards were later features, perhaps as inducements of keener appetites for the tempting buffet supper which was served around eleven o'clock. At any rate, the food vanished as if by magic. -And why not? Wasn't it Hal- loween? Our not so well recognized visages were photographed, so anyone caring to do so may hunt for them in the rotogravure section. Happy hunt! CHRISTMAS PARTY Monday, December 19th, was a memorable occasion to the Firland staff. The animal Christmas party was in progress in the large reception room. A beautifully decorated Christmas tree shed the true spirit of Christmas over a most happy occasion, while Santa Claus himself was superb, in spite of his too obvious diffi- culty 'in getting around. His humorous antics kept his guests in a constant uproar and his characteristic gladness and cheer was reflected generously in the happy throng that enjoyed his hospitality. He had gifts for everyone, including, strangely enough, some gifts that had been received before. But Santa Claus is a mysterious felow and a resourceful one so we will not question his integrity here. On account of the depression his gifts were economical but none the less eagerly received and very enthusiastically applauded by one and all. The evenings pleasure included some vocal numbers and readings by staff members, dancing, and refreshments. OFFICE ISOLATION ..45.- up ,.-:Q - ,,...u-, :Lf 1-U -1-4 Q 2 vista '- J-
