He told us that he had just come from Peking, China, where he met Adelaide Moseley and Helen Newman, who were doing mis¬ sionary work there. The gay South Sea Islands and Hawaii followed. One after¬ noon while lounging on the beach and watching a group of girls conversing I recognized Rose Lee Green and Helen Layne. On down the Pacific to Sidney, Australia.

We left a small seaport of Paraguay on the ship “Personne,” and arrived at Morrocco two weeks later. The French Foreign Legion was stationed here. We watched them until drill was over and to my astonishment up came Welford and Robert Swift. They informed me that Garnet Vaughan had a huge rubber plan¬ tation on what used to be the Saraha Desert. Beautiful Naples was next. We attended a concert the night of our arrival. Emma Smith, great American pianist, headed the program. Wild, gay Paris. A dream realized.
