Having learned that Frank DeNoyelles was American Ambassador to France, we decided to visit him be- fore we left Eurpoe. He insisted that we attend a large banquet to be held the next evening in honor of Gurnea Wiles, who had just arrived in Paris with her manager, Bernard Wachtel, to begin a concert tour through Europe. . The next morning we stopped at The Lucille, a very exclusive shop kept by Madame Doris Furman. We were soon fitted for the evening. At the banquet we were pleasantly sur- prised to meet William Tierney, still a wealthy bachelor and, as of old, surrounded by the fair sexy and Robert Heminover, the famous author of Les Femmes. A few days later, on board ship, we found that Marion Hunt was also homeward bound after a trip around the world. She told us that Eleanor Reardon had become anun and that she was teaching at the college of Mount St. Vincent. After landing in New York we went to our hotel, only to discover that Herbert Lawson was the new manager.

That afternoon we visited the editors and found them both happily unmarried. Louis informed us that Emma Southward was still out West looking for her cowboy, and that Isadore Newman was managing the Oratorical Contesl for the Times. They invited us to go to a show with them, and we saw Ruth Dickman and Gertrude Lynch starring with Albert Lamborn. We had dinner at Constance Reimer's, where Albert Wessman and Dot Weter joined us.

HIGH TOR visit it the next day. On the train we met Margaret Francis and Dot Deming, who were also bound for Haverstraw, where they were collaborating on a history book with the aid of their efficient secretary, Dorothy Chlupsa. Arriving at the school, we called at the office first and met Superintendent Charles Keesler and his secretary, Ola Tomlins, who loved typing as much as ever. Charles showed us thru the whole building, then took us to the gym where Harriet Springstead was training the varsity basketball team. He told us that Barbara Miller was the head of the Health Department but that she was at present taking a vacation at the Kolb farm in Congers. As we still had a little time left before the train was due, we stopped at Erna Schmid's Tea Room, where Erna was just serving Anna Bryant and her troop of Girl Scouts. lI9l
