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.
