Training School, Ivan Wane Miller, Dean. Dear Ivan : Well, it seems that about every so often you project a desire for a letter into my thought receptacle and this call I always heed, for I know it would be quite impossible for you to keep track of me in my aircraft, I am such a wandering gypsy of the solar system. Then, too, I am always quite sure to find you rather securely shackled to that wonderful D. S. Training Slghool into which our little Hee Department grew after the government took that subject in c arge. You know, Ivan, away back in 1918, when the High Cost of Living used to lurk like a spectre in the background of every wedding feast, we women spent so much and knew so little of the value received that I sometimes wonder that marriage as a legal necessity and the home as our fundamental institution did not pass out of existence. It was at this critical period, or thereabout, that a solution for placing the home as Amer- ica's great institution upon a firm and lasting basis occurred to Miss Emma Thornwall, our class president. She proposed to gain this great end by making woman suffrage a national gift and then educating womankind to a knowledge of its greatest usefulness. Her three years' campaign, backed by such staunch and untiring talkers as Catherine Calli- son, Thelma Wilkinson, and May Rooney, is now a matter of history. As a solution for our great social question, the world has found nothing better and its proof may be seen in the residential suburbs clustering peacefully around every industrial center and the apparent ab- sence of rooming houses. Vice is on the decline and soon a policeman will be but a corner ornament and a mere relic of the ancient regime. I remember well when that bill of Geraldine Freeman's was before congress making two years' home training a part of compulsory education in the life of every school girl. I believe it was the Hon. Laura Gray who added the amendment requiring that every girl appearing be- fore a county clerk for a license to become a wife he able to produce a certificate showing that she had had home training. Really, Ivan, when you stop to consider the strides we are making in the path of progress it hardly seems possible that twenty years could have brought them all. For instance, there is that wonderful method of counteracting the law of gravity worked out by Prof. Zuker in his study of gasses. Merely a pressure neutralizer whereby the pressure of the ether envelope surrounding the earth once known as the force of gravity is neutralized as a biplane splits its way from one part of the solar system to another. I understand he had a great many suggestions on the subject from Miss Velylna Ford, who had returned to the laboratory for an intensive study of color and textiles. I By the way, Ivan, I dropped down in Paris last year and visited Velyma in her shop. You know she is a wonderful modiste and specializes in evening gowns, where her sense of the unique and extreme, together with her love of color, finds unlimited scope and its best ap- preciation. She certainly .has come into her own. I was not a little surprised to find Irene Krampy displaying the gowns, she wore them to a great advantage, for time has touched her very lightly. I knew she had married some imprudent Pharmic shortly after graduation, but she tells me that since she has tried three other specimens of the genus homo and found them all very much alike. She remarks that when you swear to love and cherish one of the individuals it seems to include the assumption that you are neither to walk, talk, sing, dance nor even pleasantly chat with another of the same genus, and since she could never make her eyes behave she has to be content with draw- ing rich alimony from all four. And oh, yes, ,lay Hanson is there, loo, but she has full charge of the street frocks. You know .lay had considerable taste balanced by rare good judgment, and Paris gained something when that trio went over. Jay also has had her matrimonial experiences, even to being wid- owed three times. She says all her husbands died natural deaths, .but I met Mayme Wooster, who married one of Irene Krampy's husbands and now lives in Chicago, and she hinted that Hannah Jay was always deeply interested in the arsenic tests up in the old Chem. Lab. I
