in the oil game in Oklahoma and about six months ago they returned to Great Falls where they bought out Strain Brother's store. What's Doris doing, I asked. She and Bessie Swena are superintendent and principal respectively of the Loma schools. Someone wrote me that Anna Hagen was also teaching school, but that was too much for me to believe, so I wrote to her and found out for sure that she is married to Arnold and living in California, where Arnold owns a chain of garages. By this time, it was eleven-thirty so I invited the girls to lunch with me, because we hadn't talked over half of the class of 1922. We lunched at a tea room. They were having a feature with their usual noon concert. Our table was near t pit. When the feature came on, Rose and I gasped. Hildia Evers was the director of a troupe of six pretty chorus girls. Their entertainment was very clever. After the lperformance, Rose sent her a. note by the waiter asking her to join us. She had lunch- ed but she chatted a while. She asked us if we had seen the Orpheum that Week. We hadn't. Well, by all means go, she said, Because Puny and Walter are headliners in an athletic act. Right away Rose, her friend and I decided to go to the matinee. he orchestra Have you seen Stella Miley or Miriam since you've been here? Stella is head sales lady in the suit department in Altman's in New York and is spending her vacation here. Miriam is lecturing all over this part of the country on 'Women's Rightsf During this conversation, Rose's friend .sat by, seemingly enjoying the animated gossip. When the question arose VVhat happened to Florence Stevens, she jumped from her chair and exclaimed, Why I know her. Is she short and thin? How do you know her? almost screeched Rose, and in the same breath, I haven't heard from her since I left Benton. Well, when I was going through Glacier Park last year, I met with an almost fatal accident. I fell from my horse injuring my spine and the treatment of a chiroe practor was all that could save me from lifelong invalidism. This little Dr. Stevens restored me to the strong healthy girl I am today. She had a devoted friend whom you girls must know, for he was from her home town, I believe his name was Edward Johnston. He was acting as guide in the Park at that time. The world isn't so large after all, said Owen. That is what I said to Mary Shaw when I met her in New York last week. She was sailing for France to buy organdie for a firm in St. Louis. Oh that reminds me, I was going to buy myself an organdie dress for graduation, but it is nearly six nowg so I will drop in tomorrow, said Rose. Q MARY CONNOLLY. OWEN MORRIS. I mi, QL E,
