VESTIGIA I 9 5 2 There is a lull, an unexpected hush, and then-pandemonium breaks loose. The diminutive star of the most popular musical comedy of the year is presentfMollie Corbisiero. Exquisitely garbed, she smiles happily at her admirers, and one cannot help but think that her many conquests have left her as sweet and unspoiled as of old. As the eyes of the spectators still follow Miss Corbisiero, a tall, dignified figure makes her way up the steps. Miss Mary Burke has just returned from her sojourn at Cannes, where she acquired a fashionable tan and the title Marquise. The Marquis is very much in evidence. Another smart young couple comes into view. Jane Adrienne Kelly, Captain of the American Women's Polo Team, has left her trusty steed in the stable and is escorted by her husband. This prominent member of the social set has, of late, shown herself an ardent patroness of music. Striding along behind this pair is a woman with the look of the Creatfoutfoffdoors. We note with no surprise that Miss James has shorn her hair close to her head. In last Sunday's Times she wore it in a long bob. Who knows what next week will bring. Perhaps, however, it was rather difficult to wear a tightffitting aviation helmet over long, flowing locks-aviation is Miss james' latest hobby-but probably not for long. As her old friend, Mary Drury was often heard to remark in the old days, Muriel is always up in the air about something. As a short young woman approaches with athletic stride I cannot help but look back to the days when Miss Roper lived in constant fear of draughts. Now, owing to the influence of her roommate in college, she is an ardent devotee of physical education. There is only one member of the class of N32 that has not yet arrived, Mary R. Hanley. Since the time for the curtain to rise is not far distant, we shall not be able to tell you in full of her great work among the youth of today. Her latest notable experiment is the organization of the Modern Young Woman's Club. Ah, here she is at last-calm, unhurried, and smiling as if amused by the fact that she is late again. I hope the members of the unseen radio audience have enjoyed their glimpse of these famous peof ple. It is doubtful whether the opportunity will be theirs a second time. This is station G. C. C., White Plains, N. Y., signing off for tonight. Au revoirf' GNUQXKEJBGXQ a s fewsefasmbfe 82

9f VIE SQT IgG became aware that the hem of her gown had caught upon something. Looking down, she discovered that her friend, Miss Crimmins, had unconsciously planted her foot upon the length of the lovely fabric. TchfTch. Still the same old Helen. We had feared that after the years spent in organizing her great school of the Ballet she must assuredly have changed, but we are happy to admit our error On the other hand Miss Grogan, mincing along beside her friend, has apparently changed a great deal. She carries herself with a new dignity and an air of queenliness, which makes us wonder if the rumors we have heard of foreign royalty can be true. As the three fade from sight a handsome Studebaker eight draws up to the curb, the door opens and Miss Natalie Cooper alights briskly. The years seem to have treated her kindly, and she moves with her characteristic alertness and vigor. Miss Cooper, you may recall, won fame as the Librarian who could answer any question, and has recently opened a select School of Library Science. You probably would not recognize these two arrivals if they came separately, but since they are together you surely know them. The tall, slightly stooped blonde, Marie E. Kelley, is inclining her head at an angle of 75o in order to hear the running fire of comment from the lips of Miss Hickey, whose head barely reaches her companions shoulder. These two have never been known to leave each other's side, and, if rumor can be heeded, Nan expects to take up her permanent residence in Yonkers before long. There in her spare time she will act as critic of Miss Kelley's work, The Last Laugh, that magazine of sofcalled wit. The new arrivals are coming now in groups of three and four. Miss Virginia Campbell, prominent club woman and Feminist leader, known for her line work in the Put White Plains on the Map drive, sweeps graciously by, followed by an exotic figure, whom we know as the Toast of Kisco. It is the new Catherine Moran, sans inhibitions, and the breathless throng bursts into spontaneous ap' plause, which the guest acknowledges by a gay wave of her bejeweled hand. Following closely upon her footsteps, comes a woman of medium height stunningly gowned. No wonder the crowd gasps in wonder and admiration, for they are looking upon New York's most stylishly dressed woman, Miss Mary Drury. We understand that when in college, Miss Drury dis' tinguished herself in the art of letter writing, and greatly astonished her friends when she failed to enter the literary field. I have been wondering all evening why so many of our guests own Cadillacs, but with the ap' pearance of Miss Moretta McKown, publicity agent for the Cadillac Company, the reason is made clear to us. Miss McKown's sales talk has proved irresistible, as we may well believe, seeing the indomitable light of determination in her dark eyes. But who is this new arrival? Ah,that walk-MI knew it was familiar! The young woman known to her friends at G. C. C. as Marie Troise, has made the home her vocation, although to do so she sacrificed a promising art career. Perhaps a picture of a little vinefcovered cottage has something to do with her decision. gxs-J5ef96X5J96Xs sewing JMMEJBGMEJB 81
