who has succeeded in the way of humor is Hortense Newman. Her latest book on jokes contains one for every minute of the day, for a whole year. Now she is finish- ing a book which explains the origin of more than two thousand witty sayings. Look at that bright and luminous flame. It belongs to the shadow of Rita Cashin. She is the director of the National Debating Convention. Only recently she opened up a school for argumentative discourse, and already it has proved a success. That large office, of the United Fruit Company, is the headquarters of Miss Carolyn Casson, chief executive of the firm. Since she entered ofHce, the output of the company increased from twenty-two percent to fifty-five percent in three years. New York fades into the smoke screen, and we find ourselves on the steps of the Capitol. Beyond those walls, the Misses Kelly and Dunne are receiving honors from the president, because of tactful methods used in settling the Cuban situation. Don't be startled, by that demon of speed. The figure at the wheel is none other than Mary Clancy. That four-hundred horse power car that she is driving is a prize won at some radio contest. She received quite a bit of practice while riding to school from her home. And now neither pedestrians nor motorists are safe. At the Catholic University in Washington we meet Miss Rita 0'Connor, who has become a most able assistant and advisor of the Science Department. In the Language Department of the same university is Margaret Zelt, LL.T. Her book on, How to learn French in Fifty Lessons' is the support of many a young student. I hear church bells ringing. Ah! Here comes the bride, Ethel Coleman, what a picture she makes against the background of Japanese Cherry Blossoms. Long life and happiness to her. And, now there is one more shadow that must be reckoned With. It is that of Inez Webb. But you will find her in any book store or publishing house, for her work Poetical Collectionsnhas brought into America a new trend of thought which has uplifted American ideals and thought. And now the dying flames are smoldering into dust and ashes, it is getting dark and I can tell by the way Puss purrs, that the tale is finished, but let the memory of my story sink deep into your soul, so that you too may accomplish great things as did those Thirty-two Shadows. And ten years from today I hope to continue whence I have left, and by rekindling their sparks-who knows if I have not still greater things to foretell to you? -CAROLYN CASSON 68 VESTlGIA19i34

classical collections, has conducted a research tour, and has contributed much to the museum of the Collegium Parnasium. We must kindle the fire.-My, listen to it spurt! Look! Jinrikishas. We are in Japan. Do you recall that familiar figure you see working in the Mission fields? It is indeed Cecily O'Connor. For five years she has labored in Christ's vineyard and her harvest has been abundant. At last! We are on domestic soil. America! We will pass by some of the studios while we are in Hollywood. Do you see that luxurious home yonder? It is that of Madame Rita Burns. In the costume world she is known as Ritz. Her intricate styles far excel those of the once popular Adrian, and every fastidious actress adopts them. Now we are surmounting the Rockies and soon we reach the fertile valleys of Montana. Can your eye take in all that vast territory? It is the ranch of Eileen O'Donovan. She is now an author and draws her inspiration from the beautiful expanses of open country. Amid the roaring of trains and planes, the shrieking of whistles and horns, we arrive in New York just in time to see the immense steamer Moderne enter into port. As the gangplank is lowered, the passengers scurry forth. Do you recognize anyone? Why, yes! Madame Barry has returned from a world tour in which she conducted a group of young college students. A photographic flash is seen, as Miss Fechtman, publicity agent of the rotogravure section of the New York Times, obtains a bit of news. Nearby is the social reporter, Mary Driscoll, diligently making inquiries, and noting all the elite on board. The former Miss Johanna Kennedy, active and attractive member of the younger social set, does not escape the re- porter's eye. That laughing young Miss, is Madeline Dinger who has been touring Spain for the past five months. She is the Professor of Spanish at the Johns Hopkins University. We reach the heart of New York City and find ourselves seated within one of the most exclusive penthouses in town. Can you place your charming young hostesses? Indeed you can. Miss McCarthy, most renowned critic of current plays, and Miss Nurenberg, supervisor of the personnel department of one of the elaborate shops in the city. Come now we must be quick, the fire will be out soon. Have you ever seen this building before? It is Rockefeller Center. That office up there belongs to Madeline Wischebrink, leaderof scouts. She has brought a new joie de vivre into the ranks of this organization. My, how those electric lights shine. Here we are along the Great White Way. Do you want to hear a surprising bit of news? Gertrude Mooney is taking Floyd Gibbons, place in spreading the news, and is still continuing to coin those famous phrases of hers. Listen to the uproar in that theatre. Catherine Collins,great comedienne, is there this week in person. She certainly has reached the top of her career. Another person 67 VESTIGIA 1934
