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
