THE ECHO 13 W e skipped the next floor, for although I believe Alan would like to have seen Alice Andrew, Ruth Squires, and Gladys Bagley, who run a beauty salon. I’m afraid he would have been embarrassed, or at least bewildered, at the rigamarole women go through to be beautiful. The next floor was occupied by Madamoiselle’s, an exclusive hat shop, established by Helen Kayian. Harriett Eddy worked here and designed and modeled the hats. Alan said “hello” and dragged me off before 1 had a chance to try on that little hat that was in the window. Skipping two floors we got out of the elevator, and as I started to go through a door with this sign: “Do you want to be strong, and do you want muscles?”, Alan reared and asked if he looked that bad. I didn’t have time to answer, for out walked Louis Baker, owner of that enterprise, on his way to dinner. He asked if we wouldn’t like to join him, but we had much ground to cover so declined. Before going into another office on the same floor, Alan and I donned a pair of sun glasses. Alan was surprised and puzzled at first, but after we went inside, he understood, for there was Melvin Iverson, throwing together horrid colored dye combinations for those loud ties he manufactures. You’d be sur- prised how well he does, but confidentially his clients must be color-blind. About this time Alan was exhausted, so we stepped into a restaurant, managed by Alice Keating; Alice was so busy she didn’t have time to speak to us for more than a moment, but while there Madeline Polisson, who had just returned from India on a secret government mission, stopped to say “hello” and tell us what she could about her trip. She also mentioned that Ruth White had taken out papers to run for Mayor of Holbrook. Six flights down I showed Alan two broadcasting studios. In one was Barbara Smart, who had taken Harry James’ place after he went into the Army, and in the other was Claire Cote who now played the guitar in Phil Spitalny’s all-girl orchestra. On the first floor was a distinguished looking office with Adjutant General, Manager, Rent Collector, and Supervisor of Public Works on the door. After passing three most competent secretaries. Avis Atwood, Edith Bettencourt, and Connie Smith, we finally got in to see Richard Paul. He was extremely busy, so we didn’t stay long. Back on the street again we went around to the drugstore owned and managed by Mary Duggan and Marilyn Smith and had one of their world famed sundae-banana splits. Alan was amazed at the changes, and after talking awhile, he decided it was safer back in Canada.
