CPage twenty-six Pearl Dewey was also in the city attending the Governors' Convention. She was elected Governor of Wyoming last month. However, I did not get to see her. Elmer Rogers was in Washington at the time, outfitting his party of archologists whom the government is sending to unearth the ruins of some ancient city of India. It is a huge undertaking and they expect them to be gone at least five years. Oh, by the way, did you know that Louis Kugland went to Australia some four or five years ago? He discovered a huge gold mine. Now he simply makes Uncle Bim look like a cheap skate. Since my business was completed in Washington I left within a week and took a plane to Chicagog for I wished to visit the Na- tional Stockmens' Convention that was being held there. George Pridgeon was elected president for the coming year. He owns one of the largest and most scientifically managed ranches in Wyom- ing. Lenarda Dewey was in Chicago giving a series of lectures on her missionary work in China. I was sorry not to hear her, but I had already been away longer than I could well afford, and I found it necessary to leave at once. I certainly enjoyed the trip and it was made doubly enjoy- able by seeing so many of my old. class mates. I suppose you know that Beulah Keys is married? She was married almost a year ago and is living on a modern farm on Beaver Creek. Mary Marquiss is teaching physics at the University of Wyo- ming. I understand that next year she will be sent as an ex- change professor to the University of California. I heard that Marjorie Haines sold her chicken ranch last week for. about S50,000.00, and that she will spend a year in Europe, traveling. Really it is hard to believe that Newcastle is the same little town. As soon as oil was -struck on the Howard dome, it started booming and has never quit. It is by far the largest city in Wyo- ming now and I hear there is some talk of moving the capitol here. It has an especially fine school system, and you may be surprised to learn that Lelia King is at the head of it. Susie Kudlock is the head of a very smart millinery store in this city. I think that this is growing into a volume instead of a letter. I really must stop. Very truly yours, Sue Horton.

Page twentyffve many. He was a passenger on the incoming plane, and received a fractured skull, it is very doubtful if he will recover. Wouldn't that be terrible just on the verge of his completing his method for removing ice from icicles. The next night I went to see a musical comedy and you may well imagine my surprise to recognize the lead as Erma Long. And she was playing opposite Art Sundstrom. One of the main features was a series of old time dances. They danced the Char- leston and you can't imagine how quaint and queer it seemed. In the morning the Medical Society made a tour of the hos- pitals. When we came to the Greenpoint hospital the head nurse seemed vaguely familiar. ' I asked who she was and learned that it was Ella Bock. She has been there for almost four years. When I returned to my hotel I was told that a lady was wait- ing to see me. It was Katharine Howell, who is now president of the,Bell Telephone System. She had learned that I was in the 'city and had come to see me. We had quite a talk and I learned from her that Mary Schmitt has just been installed as Dean of Women at Stanford. And also that there was a Paramount picture play- ing on Broadway in which Ruth Kinney was starred. We decided that if we hurried we could just see it and then get back in time for me to take a plane for Washington, D. C., for it was necessary that I go there before returning home. As soon as I arrived in Washington I went to see the Wyom- ing Senator, Calvin Scott, in regard to some public health laws. I was received in the outer office by his private secretary, and do you know it was Rose Rockwell. I was surely surprised to see her there. Calvin told me that only the day before Junior Thompson had been appointed Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. He holds the record for 'being the youngest man ever appointed to that responsible position. I received that evening an invitation to a large reception to be given by Dorothy Sedgwick. She is now one of Washington's so- ciety belles and is noted for her brilliant entertainments. Lucile Roberts, who is president of the First National Bank of Washington, was also at the reception. She is the very first wom- an to become a bank president and we may be justly proud of her. Didyou know that the International Indoor Tennis Champion- ship has been won by Margaret Thoeming? It is the first time since Helen Wills was defeated that the title has belonged to an American. s
