NEW YORK From the Inside Haunting Past New York's latest news bit is a scavenger hunt by that popular society debutante, Priscilla Mc- Arthur. Miss McArthur's party was attended by all of the social register except Wilke Myers, the professed forgotten man, whose 1n- vitation the hostess neglected to send out. The party went along swell un- til the hunters returned with what proved embarrassing to the hostess -old-time acquaintances. Listed in the find was Norwood Trout, doorman at the Ritz, and Regina Williams, whose autograph was received from the ticket window of the Bijou Theatre in the Bronx. Wesley Spurling, the would-be cut up of the four-hundred, is credit- ed with a double find. Despite the black grease paint, he discovered Alice Trauth, who was giving free samples of Aunt Lindy Lou's Pancake Flour to passers-by, and Ruth Kiefer, who bestowed a sparkling smile and a titterihg laugh to said goners-by. Both Miss Trauth and Miss Kiefer were old friends of Miss McArthur. Rumor Has It That Miss Virginia Dunker un- derwent a facial alteration at the expert hands of Dr. Frank Fisher, famed plastic surgeon at the Al- bertasf' The proprietress, Miss El- berta Kramer, refused to confirm or deny the report. Slidin' High The opening of Duncan Nut- ting's musical comedy show Slidin' High on Broadway last night to over 20,000 first nighters was re- ceived with a hearty ovation of applause. Qlncidentally, it gets a big O. K. in this column.l Danc- ing by Marie Christensen and sing- ing by Juanita Ross cinched a bright future for these young ladies. Bang! Bang! Mr. R. Perry Thayer, well known banker, recently visited Ralph Winkle's Gun Club and caused quite a sensation with an excellent display of sharp-shoot- ing. This was but one of the pleas- ant surprises uncovered at a party given by Miss Dorothy Behan, one of this years debutantes, at this popular social spot. Best Dressed Couple Selected By Tieman's Tieman's Toggery has just giv- en Mr. Claude McCann and Miss Virginia Walton the distinction of the best dressed couple in the Spring Parade. Mr. Kenneth Tie- man, the shop owner, took unto himself the difficult task of select- ing this couple. However, his choice has been well accepted by everyone, and every one feels that a good job was done. The winners were chosen for their neatness, correctness and originality. Mr. McCann and Miss Walton met these requirements perfectly. - Jim Van Orsdel, twice all-Amer- ican football star at State, was being quizzed the other day about what he intends to do after grad- uation next month. His answer was, Well, I might play professional ball, but I rather think I'll lead an orchestra for awhile. Olympic stars have done it, and I don't see why a boy coming out of school shouldn't have a chance, too. Novel Joint Established Rev. Richard B. Cain and Mr. Arthur Rowbottom have opened a joint establishment at the end of Jump-Off Road. It claims to be the only combined marriage li- cense bureau and funeral parlor in the country. Rev. Cain's job is joining the happy couples in mat- rimony and filing the licenses so that they may be remembered as prospects for the funeral half of the outfit. FRIVOLOUS FEMMES FROLIC ON FLOOR Powell's Department Store has recently installed the novel ar- rangement of lady floor-walkers. The first three young ladies to win positions were Helen Lloyd, Mar- garet Lang, and Ruth Hauck, all recent beauty prize winners. Mr. Powell, president, yesterday stated that the public continually want variety and he laughed, That's just what they'll get in my store. Mr. Powe1l's Spring Style Display was advertised by staging a beauty contest, which was the talk of the town for sev- eral days. We wonder what Powell's have in store for us next. LADIES AID LADIES, SAYS HEAD LADY A most generous donation from local Ladies Aid Societies was re- ceived by the Matron of the Old Maids' Home, Miss Virginia Hern, on Tuesday of last week. Miss Hern stated, For quite a while the ladies here have done without things they really need, and now, through the generosity of the ladies' aids of the city, we are thankful to say that our needs can now be fulfilled. This donation will make our lives more pleasant. Two Women Honored Misses Louise Lang and Ellen Stickle yesterday received their degrees in Doctor of Medicine and Psychology from Conley Univers- 24 ity. The two girls are planning to become teachers. In their four years of college these girls have attained unusual- ly high ratings. They are original- ly from Norwood, Ohio. As a part of the back to na- ture movement, Miss Audrey Kane and Miss Dorothy Erich sail- ed on the Olympiad last week for London. Both young ladies are guests of a series of receptions held in their honor in connection with lectures on Nature and Her Beauties. They have just completed tour- ing the United States, and, after traveling all over Europe, plan to visit Asia and Africa. Blaire fHendricksD Murder Trial Nearing The End The murder trial of Mrs. Rod- ney Blaire QMary Hendricksl, ac- cused of killing her husband with a murderous tongue, is now near- ing a close after eighteen days of consistent argumentation and pres- entation of evidence by both the state and the defense. Miss Betty Bryars, dress shop model, and Miss Audrey Hagman, telephone operator, were released as wit- nesses. The trial in itself has been a dull one, consisting of not more than parleying between the two counselors. Mrs. Blaire is feeling the effects of the ordeal as evi- denced by her appearance. Yester- day she seemed to be somewhat bet- ter. Some of the remarks that the witnesses made even evoked a weary smile. On The Dial The story book lady, Virginia Hagman, is now being heard nightly at five P. M. over station WHY in a program sponsored by the Poppy-seed Bread Company. It consists entirely of telling nurs- ery rhymes to little kiddies and so far has met with success. Miss Hagman also helps out in the Don Dare Thrillers, heard every Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday nights at 4:25 P. M. Don Dare is enacted by Mr. Pomsell, famous lyric growler. That new crooner Ferdo Kautz is now singing with Sammy's Swing Orchestra on the B-I-G- Cheese program every Thursday at 9500 P. M. Ferdo has recently acquired a new nick-name-gigilo, for his winning personality has captured the heart of many a lass. Cooking Hints is entirely writ- ten up and sponsored by Miss Dorothy Shipley. Helpful culin- ary .hmts are given every day. Special on this evenings program Miss Shipley will explain how to whip cream without once being fioored.

MISSING GIRLS BEING SOUGHT Wander Bug Is Blamed For Disappearance Police are apprehensive over the disappearance of Miss Betty Heisep 199 Gage Street. and Miss Betty Sheldon, 427 Ross Avenue, who were last seen riding in a road- ster on Route 55 for Boston. Both girls disappeared early Friday morning. These two, their parents stated, were of a roving nature and often took trips to homes of relatives in nearby cities, but they always before had reported within a day as to their whereabouts. Police learned from friends that both Miss Heise and Miss Sheldon had expressed a desire to see the world, and are wondering whether that is what these girls have start- ed out to do. The family doesn't think it probable, because the girls'l supply of cash is low. The police indicate that every- thing possible is being done to find them. Five and a half circulars are being' distributed through all the Mid-Atlantic and New Eng- land states. A reward of a half pence has been offered by the sher- iff FEB. CLASS OF '37 REUNITES TO GAB ABOUT SCHOOLDAYS What a change! The February graduating class of '37 had an alumnal reunion, yesterday, at their dear old Alma Mater, Nor- wood High School. Reminiscences and tall stories were the topics of the day. The visitors were taken up to the third fioor by fast-moving, ef'- ficient elevators. Lemonade and gingerale were to be found at the fountains on every floor. Chewing gum was given away free to each and every teacher, pupil, and vis- itor. The carpeted doors and plush chairs made the classrooms home- like and comfortable. Moving pic- tures ran every half hour in order to rest the weary minds of the stu- dent body in general, and the boy in the gray lounge chair in par- ticular. ......i JUST LIKE OLD TIMES The best shops still manage to suit Miss Julia Louise Sutor, class advisor of '37. Mr. William Ross Dunn, also class advisor, is still shouting to seniors, Let's be at our work please. Postmaster Tries For Big Boyis Job After months of careful and thorough preparation, Postmaster- General Stamps has begun active work on his campaign for the pres- idency. Stamps is noted for throughout the country as a prom- inent politician, and, as yet, his slate is free from blemishes that would encourage any form of slander or in any way mar his chances of a successful outcome in the election. He was unanimously nominated at the Demo-publican convention held at Atlantic City last spring. Stamps' campaign program in- cludes visits to all the large cities in the western, northern, eastern, southern, and central states of the United States, and all outly- ing possessions. including the briars of Kentucky. Remember 'Way back when the February Class of 1937 was trying to graduate and what a ter- rible time they had. The fiood was raging in all its glory and Bacca- laureate services had to be held in candlelight and the candles burnt down so fast that it was just about a dark auditorium before it was overg and on class day the caps and gowns didn't come and Mr. Hanna the principal, started after them, then when they did come there were a couple of car loads extra. The hero in the class play, The Youngest, couldn't make love to the heroine, 'cause he was 'scared of a certain tall blonde in the aud- ienceg and just before commence- ment the valedictorian had to go and get her appendix out and an- other girl got the job of reading the speech, and when diplomas were presented, the big manly gradu- ates were so worried about chang- ing the tassel on their caps that MOM THOMPSON'S CANDIES Quality Candies at Low Cost Try Our Honey-Sweet Opera Creams Don't Try To Make It Sweet-Let Us they forgot to shake hands with the presenter of the diplomasg fi- nally it was all over and another bunch of gangly grads joined the great army of the unemployed. Slll9lDllR'2lltS Coach Winkleman is providng a summer camp for his Swathmore U. boys this season. Coach Winkle- man intends to let the team train at his lumber camp all summer to be in good shape for a tough grid- iron schedule. His prospects are good.
