I asked her where Benny was, and she said he was in the hospital undergoing -an appendicitis operation. It seems he had gotten a pain in his side, so he went to a doctor for a checkup and he had sent him to the hospital. I guess he would be ready to travel in a week though, and then they would be on their way again. I stayed in Warren that night at Baker Hotel which Mr. Baker had just finished building, and since I knew him I decided to go there. Believe me, it was the nicest night I ever spent in a hotel. The next day, feeling completely rested, I plann- ed to travel along way. I started early and stopped late that night in Chicago. Boy,what a time I had trying to find a room there. I finally found a room in the fifth hotel I looked in. Although I was tired, I was not sleepy so I de- cided to see a show. After the show, I turned in. The next day I crossed the Muddy Mississippi and I mean it was muddy. It rained all day so I didn't drive very far.

I got up at 10:30. I was still sleepy, but I couldn't sleep all day and get to see Mary Ellen, so I set out to find her. I had obtained her address from Pauline. I found her house in a nice part of town with large shade trees on both sides of the street. Her house is a beautiful, modern, nine room 'brick house. I arrived just in time,too. She and her hus- band were just sitting down for dinner, and she invited me to have a bite to eat with them. I had not eaten any break- fast, so I accepted. Man, Oh man, what a cook she turned out to be! I ate and ate, then I ate s me more. After I .- S? is 'IX N W I i Q If . yi ight Iv E 5,5 -Q - , ata T11 65 if in I Bias. M u. ascii X f el HIGHLIGHTS lf
