UE flkfaaafllwjxf-Jil Trophectj Dear Ginger: Just couldn't wait until after the dance at the Country Club to tell you just what happened at the factory. It was just as I thought. The food I analized was the cause of that epi- demic in Chicago. Being a chemist means doing such a lot for others. But that is just part of the wonderful surprise. The rest and the most thrilling part is just this: at least I have managed to get in touch with all the members of our high school class. In fact, some will be at the Club House dance, which as you know is given in honor of Verna's oldest daughter. By Verna, of course I mean Mrs. Lovewell. Her marriage years ago came as a complete surprise to me, for as you know, she was just a primary teacher under Mr. Lovewell while he was the superintendent of all the schools in Tacoma, and I did not once think that such a chance acquaintance would result in a wonderful romance. But she always was a charming girl, as we all know. Oh, by the way, the two members of the class that will be present at the dance are Travess Ely and Nlarthalice Bartell. Marthalice Bartell is a reporter for the New York Herald and she usually is present at all prominent social functions. There is a rumor going around just now that Mr. Bartell is going to buy an interest in the paper for her, which will surely result in her advance- ment. As for Travess Ely, surely you have heard of him. His cars are almost as common as the Eord. Everyone has one. He has purchased the Detroit, To- ledo if Ironton Railroad for his automobile freight. Oh! without a doubt he is a huge success, and more than one designing mother angles her pretty, finished daughters before his eyes, but up to the present time without success. I must apologize for not writing before my trip West, but was called to suddenly that I just had to forget everything and go. Business is business, my dear! I made the trip from New York to Camp Lewis by airplane and fate surely must have had a hand in going in that certain machine, for the aviator was no other than Edwin Anderson. He has charge of the New York station, and as he had business in Seattle, a stockholders' meeting or some other dry Sixreen

aHair, he decided to take charge of the plane for the trip. As we both had business in Seattle, we decided to go by water from Tacoma. While on the boat reading I met a lady that looked quite familiar, and who do you suppose she was? Gladys Silva, who is now a missionary, was making a last trip to her home before she sailed for Japan. She called my at- tention to a small booklet advertising California. A certain water route was strongly advocated, and, would you believe it, the owner was Henry Eaton- tlze boy that liked detective and adventure stories. Gladys said he was very successful. Do you remember how he used to tease Miss Wilkie? We did not think then that he would be such an important figure in the business world. Gladys also told me that while in Oakville she had been much surprised to learn that the large tractor factory just east of town was owned by Frederick Moe. As they still own the farm, though vastly improved, he spends most of his spare time there. Vvle three lunched at the Indian Summer and the music was delightful. The music came from station MNOE, where Paul White is in charge. He surely had made an exhaustive study of the subject and is quite a figure in the radio world. After luncheon we drove out to the U to see the game between Wash- ington and California. Pat Murray certainly had the boys in good trim and it was an easy task for the boys to win. After the last touch-down the boys com- pletely mobbed the coach. In their estimation he had won the game. He cer- tainly was just the man to succeed Rusty Callow, Edwin refused to accompany us to the Winter Garden for he was going to a smoker that evening. Kid Popornf' or as we know him, Cecil Virtue, was meeting Jack Dempsey. l know he will win for Jack is rather old now and has been an actor too long for quick work in the ring. The performance was very good and the main number was Leona Hey- wood and her husband. She has developed into a wonderful actress, but of course she had the best of training in Paris for several years. We decided to drive to Tacoma the next day for the races. The race track is in use again and is now better than it was before. Weir Eaton came in first and he certainly is a reckless driver. I crushed all the flowers on my hat in the excitement. His track name is Sparks and he is a regular demon. His wife sat in the grandstand and she was afraid some accident would occur. You Scwnteen
