THE MPEDILLITE A 121 greeted us cordially and invited us to attend a bridge party that she was giving that night. Arriving there we were introduced to some of Bertha's very close friends: namely, Sylvia Swindler, Anna Rossman, and Esther Kramer. What a jolly occasion it was! These girls were secretaries to diplomats who were all just then at a conference in London. One clay while in the Scotch Highlands, we met Ethel Goodman tramp- ing fields of heather on an investigation tour for a sheep specialist. In Ireland, we saw Rebecca Merkin writing a novel. Little had we known that she would become a novelist. China, our next stop, was full of mysterious and surprising events. We found Freida Tarson in Honkong, Dora Altman in Shanghai, and Mary Brenner in Canton, all American saleswomen for rich American firms and all very successful and contented. In India our jinrikisha bumped' into another in which sat lean Ar- runo, who was as surprised as we at our meeting.. She was a successful insurance agent there. ' 1 Africa, the great jungle land, was our next destination. Upon arriv- ing there we went to the American Ambassador for protection, and who should it be but Nathan Rosenberg, ex-printer! He had employed as his private secretary Francis De Falco, who managed to plan a dance for us while we were there. Hilda Pentansky was there: she had come from the South on the Cape to Cairo Railway, which she was managing. We were not entirely ignorant of the geographical situation owing to the fact that we had all studied commercial geography. We met Gertrude Reifman traveling with Anna Cohen both eager to see all they could of Africa and bring back accounts of true facts to the present students of Medill. Elsie Bultas we saw in Egypt at the uneartliing of some new scientific discoveries. She was secretary to the scientist in charge. A Our next and most interesting city was the beautiful Venice. While in a sight-seing gondola we saw Ida Berger and Lena Brest, who, over the water, between our gondolas, told us that they were officials in the Med- iterranean Steamship Co. They looked prosperous. The next morning we went to see the rose gardens. While going there we saw a man ser- anading a beautiful girl. He happened to glance in our direction, and how romantic it was to discover that it was Pasquale Salvatore with Katie Tep- per. It was just a, stunt of these two musical artists. At Genoa we met Robert Avant, representing a New York concern and doing well. We then went back to Paris where we purchased some Parisian cost- umes, in the Modiste Shoppe owned by Sarah Epstein and Mollie Silver- man. Frieda Drower was there too, a model. She told us that Marie Klima and Helen Stromph were instructors in a gymnasium: and last but not least that our dear Emily Slaby was giving her time as nurse in the em- ergency ward of the Children's Relief Hospital. Imagine my surprise to find that the famous Col. Lindbergh promised to take us back in his aeroplane to Chicago. While crossing the Atlantic, I became a bit nervous thinking of the outcome, but my plucky partner assured me that we should arrive safely. As we saw the Statue of Liberty, we became so excited that our pilot let go of the wheel and down, down we came. lust then I awoke and found myself on the floor, a bit 'mystified but glad' that I had seen all my former classmates.

We entered a large building and in the tablet telling who the owners were appeared the names 'of Lucy Messina and Rose Lipschultz. We thought that we should go in to see them but they were at a board of directors' meeting. Little did we know that the whole board of directors was com- posed of women, among whom were Yetta Schrieber and Laura Vondrak. We boarded the Berengaria and when we went to sign the log- book, we found the chief clerk on this ship to be Frances Goldberg. Fran- ces told us that as teacher in the gymnasium aboard the ship was Edith Isaac, who had at last realized her ambition to become a gym teacher. We arrived back in New York in due time and as a celebration we went to the Roxy Theater there,-a show house that was to New York what the Oriental is to Chicago. In the crowd pouring out of the show, we saw Frances and Matilda Cohen, both being secretaries to Yockimfi Simon, diamond brokers. ,. When we returned to our homes that evening, there was a letter await- ing us from Belle Waller, stating that she was retiring from her position as secretary to the President. She told us also that Rachel Sarli and Lena Caporale were married and each lived in an estate of her own, one in Vir- ginia and one in New Iersey. We were urged to see the Library of the first city of the world-New York. As we stepped inside its stately portals, who should we see but Anna Vais and Lucille Wittkopp, librarians there. We learned from them that Helen Schneider had written a book that was then on the public library shelf. She showed it to us, and the whole book revolved around one point: namely, 'School Life at .Medill.
