S. ,At .gt ,st SENIOR PROPHECY Hotel Astor New York City llilarch 17, l934 Dear Betty: ' I have just returned to good old America. England is all right but there is too much fog in the city streets during the winter months. It is more interesting to sing before American audiences in one's home land than before a sprinkling of Americans, English, Russians, French, etc., in a foreign ball-room. Little did I know when we were in the N. T. I-I. S. choruses building air castles of becoming prima donnas. that I would ever tour this country and abroad singing. I had been booked to appear before only English audiences, but I could not let the temptation slip to fly to Paris and see that gay city. I had heard that Lottie Jones was in Paris and I had some trouble finding her. Finally the wife of the American ambassador sent word that she had found a Beauty Shop in Paris, where the proprietor, the Madamoiselle Lottie. could speak English and she highly recommended the establishment to me. I dropped into the shop the following day and there was our old Lottie. She was quite light hearted and very prosperous. just a hint. Betty, Lottie says that curls are to be the advance style and she herself is attempting to grow her old curls back. OLD NOKOMIS
