And you already know of his cartooning, as his work is in all the prominent magazines and newspapers. Edward now lives in Chicago, and is said to be quite wealthy. About the middle of this month, I started for Chicago to join Elsie ' s party. As I had to wait several hours in Baltimore, and as I had never seen the Johns Hopkins Hospital, I decided to go out there while waiting. As I was being shown about the place, guess whom I saw rolling a patient on one of the bridges? Lena Humber. I was surprised and delighted to see her. I have since heard that she is a splendid nurse (and I ' m sure she is, with her jollity and capability), but they also say she ' ll not be nursing much longer because one of the doctors is mighty crazy about her. Shrove Tuesday found our party in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. While pressing through the crowd to see the parade, whom should I find myself elbowing but Emily Langley! Emily has married a wealthy planter, and she and he live on a huge plantation about four miles outside the city. After the festivities, we went out to see them, and Emily brought out cookies, jellies, and doughnuts like they used to cook at school. Even tho ' she has plenty of servants, Emily says she just cannot help from going into the kitchen and making sweetmeats, and that it is one of her greatest delights to keep her pantry full of goodies that she, herself, has made. Two days later, our party started for Long Beach. When we reached Denver, we had a two-hours wait with nothing to do. But just a little way from the depot is the Denver High School, a huge and up-to-date institute. So we went over to visit the school. And when we came to the Domestic Science Department, lo, there we saw— guess whom!— yes, Bruce Exum. She was looking fine and seemed very enthusiastic over her wo rk. You remember Bruce always was as neat as a pin and a dandy cook. When we reached San Francisco, all being in a frolicking mood, voted to go see a comedy. Sis Hopkins would be farcical enough. So we went to the theater where that play was to be given, and who do you imagine was playing the leading role— the part of the ludicrous Sis Hopkins herself? That very same Gladys Bagioell, who used to sit behind you in school. Oh! Oh! we laughed and shook at her antics till we ached all over. You know she always was a perfect clown. But the strangest thing was that, after the show was over, I should spy a familiar face in the sea of humanity within the theater. It was Gin ' s. I caught her eye and signaled her to wait outside for us. After talking with her, we found out that she was married to the young army officer who was with her, and that they were on their way to the Hawaiian Islands (here the Captain was to be stationed) to make their home. Now isn ' t that Gin all over again, Mabel? We reached here a few days ago, and like it fine. When the mail came this morning bringing me a letter from Eva, I realized that I had heard from every member of our class of 1919 since I saw you last, and that now was the time to send in my report. As you probably know, Frenchy has been over to see Eva twice since she ' s been at Peabody, and in the letter I got this morning Eva says she ' s going back with him when he comes again. ' Nuff sed. As ever, Hennie.

I find myself standing face to face but Annie Bet Smith! Then I learned that Annie Bet and Madame de Philomele were one and the same. She designs all kinds of hats, and her models are very popular. I have seen lots of Philomele patterns in Vanity Fair and Harper ' s Bazaar, haven ' t you? Annie Bet cer- tainly has reached the top notch in her profession. Her head always was full of ideas. On the train that afternoon I was reading the Washington Post, and in it was a picture I recognized. It was Linda! The paper said that she had lately married a young man who held quite a high government position, and that they were now making their home in Washington City where the bride was most popular in the social circles. Don ' t you remember how very popular Linda always was at school? After I reached home, I happened to be looking at a copy of The North Ayner- ican Review; and what should I see but an article by Roy Corbitt! There was a little sketch in the front of the book which said that after he had finished Chapel Hill and taken a postgraduate course there, he had worked on the New York Tribune. Then he had begun doing magazine work, contributing to some of our best magazines. He now has a contract to write this year for The North American Review. The editors think his work is splendid, and they consider themselves quite fortunate in securing his services. I always believed Roy would do some- thing good for himself. Don ' t you know how he would stick to things he was interested in, and how he worked on our High School annual? And guess what LiUian Jones is doing! She is married, and she and her husband are missionaries in South America. Her town and church are mighty proud of her, you may be sure. I cannot imagine anyone who could fill the place better, Lillian is so patient, so sweet, and so deeply interested in the welfare of Christianity. They say her work is getting along wonderfully. Fannie Bet is teaching in the Durham Conservatory of Music, and she has also done some composing. All of her compositions are for the voice, and some of her songs are beautiful. You shouldn ' t be surprised at this because all day long in school, Fannie Bet used to be either talking about her practicing or writing poetry. Well, one day as I was looking over some periodicals on pedagogy, lo and behold, I came across the picture of Mary Perkins Norman! Why was it there? Why, because she has perfected the Montessori method of teaching little children. Mary Perkins is now quite prominent in the educational world, highly esteemed by all her fellow workers and dearly loved by all her pupils, so the article said. Surely the little kiddies couldn ' t help adoring her, she ' s so sweet and lovable. I ' m glad she has been so successful with her work, because, even in our High School days, you remember, it was her great ambition to teach little folks. About the first of the year, I received a letter from Elsie, one of my St. Mary chums, saying that she was going with a party to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, and then to Long Beach to spend the rest of the winter, and asking me to go with them; and she ' s the girl whom Edward Harris has married! Can you take it in? Edward Harris, the boy who always swore he ' d never marry, the boy who said on French class, Je n ' ai pas de femme et jen ' en veux pas une, has succumbed.
