While touring in Philadelphia I ran into some friends, Rudy Ashton, Presley Bingham, Frank- lin Fox, who own a large industry-The Iron 8: Steel Works. They iron all day and steal all night.

I stopped in St. Louis and saw Betty Lane, now Mrs. Kincaid, help- ing in her husband's grocery store. As I wan- dered down the street-on the lawn of Sarah Kibler's home, a meeting of the F. H. H. was in session. Attending this were Martha Walton, jean Anthony, Frances Bradley, and Eleanor Huffman, now Mrs. Oehlbeck. Those not pres- ent because of illness were Margaret Carter and Susan Walker, both married to doctors fwhich were their employersj.
