a rustle of silk, a twittering voice and one of deeper tone. Then Roy Scott, a portly gentleman, entered with his slender little wife, formerly Ethel .Morgan. I had never seen a more handsome couple. Another prominent guest was Albert Busch, the socialistic purifier of politics. But all the phases of his policy are not consistent, for he has not yet taken a wife with whom to share his good fortune. Dora Reimers. judge of the juvenile court, and .Mr. Fleishman, the district-attorney, were also there. Mae Eiler was entirely carried away by the strains of an Italian count’s music and promises to join him at the gon- dola party while among the Venetians. Ilerr Irwin Frohardt, the modern Paderewski, played several compositions on the grand piano. We left New York on the steamer “Princess Louise.” named after a German princess, formerly our Louise Boyer. She is now happy in her castle on the Rhine. We arrived in London April 22nd and at Oxford met Mr. Joseph Williams, L. L. D. B. A. Yes, that is his name, given by degrees. Trevor Lewis is now an all-star architect, for he has rebuilt the cathedrals of Belgium with great splendor. He said Ceridwen was so in love with her dramatic work that she would give him no encouragement along matrimonial lines. We landed in Italy much worn out. .Miss Eiler decided to become Obuntess An ton ius Marsi and we were witnesses of the cere- mony. Marie and I remained at their villa for two days and then took the steamer for Egypt. While there, who do you sup- pose we met? None other than Ruth McReynolds and her husband, a prominent Bostonian. They were sitting near the silent sphinx, gazing at the stars. She told us her life had been one continuous romance since leaving Granite High. We left sunny Egypt by the way of the Suez canal en route to Turkey. Hera we met Emil Mueller, the United States ambassador. One day while in Tokyo, we passed a beautiful garden, lovely with the fragrance of apple-blossoms and in a quaint per- gola we recognized Lee Borden Aker. She said that her husband had made a large fortune exporting Japanese novelties to America; also that Frank Bethel had been in Japan, selecting bight rope walkers for his circus. During our stay in Japan we called upon the American ambassador, bhe lion. Russell Wilson. Several times during our voyage T had noticed a mysterious looking person who seemed to be continually watching Marie. One moonlight night while strolling along deck. I saw two people sitting near the railing and not wishing to disturb them I sat down a few feet away. Suddenly I heard a little cry of joy and noticed that the gentleman was holding her hand. It was Marie’s voice. Why should she be sitting here with this stranger? But before I reached them they got up and came toward me. Marie gave me a big hug and said, “Don’t you recognize Randle, isn’t he handsome and just think I have prom .” Our pleasant conversation was interrupted by the cries of “San Francisco Bay.” We were back in the II. S. A. again. The lights on deck became dim. my journey was ove v and my story ended. Esther Scott TREVOR LEWIS: — “I will not budge, for no man ' s pleasure.
