When we had reached the treasure we were de- lighted to find it unmolested. Just then we heard an airplane overhead which we signaled by smoke. When it landed nearby we were delighted to see Kenneth Htn- der?on step from the cabin. We loaded the ship with as much ivory as we could and took off. Jean Abeyounis, the hostess on the ship, certainly was considerate of our every need. The trip was uneventful until we had to stop for a traffic light, when who should pul! up beside us and order us to land but a government plane! We were arrested for murder and robbery by G-nien Forrest Minges and Wilbur Brown. They radioed President Jimmy Wells that w had finally been captured. Since he was busy making love to his, wife, Kate T ' oley, he had his secretary, Martha Mingts, wire us to report to court in Reno. Ar- riving there our guards allowed us one night to make his- tory, so we got in touch with the gay divorcees, Clara Dudley, Margaret Moore and Vivian Morton, who showed us all the night spots. Margaret Jones gave us some lectures on How To Get Your Man which so inspired us that we resolved to try her advice on the judge.

Knowing that we would be expected to put on the dog at Alcatraz, we ordered some creations from the Roberts sisters, whose shop was featuring designs by William Harris. We had heard from them that Wilton Highsmith and Tessie Campbell were already at Alcatraz. Our guards softened up a bit and let us stop for a brief interview with some of the movie stars. Gone With The Wir.d had finally been started with Hazel Garris and John Johnson in the leading roles. They were to be supported by Wiley Rae Hardee, Lena Mae Smith, Mar- gueritte Moore, Christine Clark and Virginia Boyd. Hav- ing spent the patience of our guards, we were started on our way again. As we passed through the outskirts of Hollywood, we saw the school for the deaf and dumb where Mary Agnes Deal and Nell Merritt were continu- ing their education. Poor Dorothy Brinkley got so home- sick — she used to teach there before she started her career of crime. All too soon we an-ived at our doom. Warden and bugle blower Stephen Walters greeted us in a solemn manner, but an appeal to his friendship on Margie ' s part secured for us rooms in the cell block instead of the dun- geon. We figure that our chance for escape are better here, especially since Charlotte has been flirting with some ball players who are excellent deep sea divers. So if you hear of our escape don ' t be surprised! from page fourteen) ■ ' Marjorie Sugg, remembered as the wall flower of G. H. S., has announced that she will open a home for old maids next week.
