She is very sad because she hated to part with her fraternity pins and baby rings, as she said each one had a story behind it. Roy Brown is lecturing throughout the U. S. on Why Pigs Be- come Hogs. Eloise Combes recently won a husband calling contest. She took her prize to Iowa. Betty Worth and Cleta McElroy are in Monticello running' a notor- ious night club, The Red Lantern. Elizabeth Milligan and Irene Nisson have made a great success in the sale of their 'cuss word silencer'. I understand it is a coiled affair resting on the head and connecting with a horn into which one may make the naughty remarks. Without further remarks, 'Dirty' immediately sank into another world, while Dr. Ashton hurried in his plane to get a keg of soap. f Page Twenty-six
