And take it from me, then things be- gan to happen. Upon Cai-ol's invitation I went to Iowa to visit them.- Of course you know that she is married. They own a large brownstone mansion in the most elite residential section of Des Moines. Blanche certainly must have exerted her artistic ability as it has the most beautiful interior of any home that 1 have ever seen. As you know Blanche is married and has two darling sons. Popular de- mands for her as an expert interior decorator, which vocation has won her nation-wide fame, prevents her returning to private life. While visiting at the Eatons we drove over to Council Bluffs one evening to attend a girls, basketball tournament. The spacious gallery was packed- and to make a long story short the Chicago coach led her champions from the floor amidst the 'shouts and cheers of thousands-and it was Cook! Lauretta always said she would be a coach. As we were leaving the balcony a familiar face drew my attention, and if it wasn't Sam Newsted in gold-rimmed spectacles. VVeir said that he owned and operated a large restaurant in the city, which we patronized that very evening. Sam proved to be a delightful host. Bidding my friends a reluctant goodbye, I joined a party of friends from Portland and Los Angeles at St. Louis as had previously been arranged. We had planned a brief trip abroad by air and continued on our uneventful jour- ney across the continent by rail until we reached Baltimore. The wisdom of a great instructor in French reached our ears. We visited her in hope of gaining information of foreign tongues. I was highly pleased to find that the instructor was our old classmate, Ellen Williams, and she was equally as pleased to see us. She told us that she gave dancing lessons to about 20,000 pupils. Some job!-eh what? Of course I forgot to tell you that they were given by radio. From here we went to Cleveland to visit friends before beginning our final air flight. Everywhere was the name of the great car and aircraft designer of world-wide fame, Eric Bjorkgren. lt was on the lips of the admiring inhabit- ants and conspicuously displayed on the largest and most prominent office buildings of the city. He drove us about the city in one of his specially made cars. When we arrived in New York we unanimously agreed to go to hear the famous grand opera singer, Edith Wilson. We were enabled to secure a front box by paying an enormous sum, and whom should we find there but Winnie and her better half. They told us of their plans for touring Europe a few weeks later. I-ler husband is a prominent broker in the city. The day before leaving, we went into the Federal Reserve Bank to get trav- eling checks and who should be the cashier, but Marcella Kilmer-a business woman of marked ability. We landed at Bordeaux, France, to find Maple enjoying her vacation by the seaside in a quaint summer cottage. You know she is a minerologist of Boston. And whom do you suppose we saw in Paris? Well, you couldn't guess in a hundred years, so l'll tell you. It was Lillian Ames. She has married a rich French duke and is living in luxury and happiness. We experienced a delight- ful time in Paris as Lillian did everything possible for our pleasure. Oh yes! She told us that Glenn had become ruler of Siam and Ralph, of course, was his Secretary of War. We deeply regretted that we did not have time to visit Siam. Although I was not in favor of the idea, I went with the rest of the party to Turkey for the final stop in Europe. We thought we might enjoy one of the famous Turkish baths and so proceeded to the building with the name above the door that resembled the word bath.'l And who do you suppose runs the bath house? Sylvan Ely! and would you think it when you knew what a time his mother always had to get him to wash his neck and ears. And would you believe it, Sam, Eric, and Sylvan have stuck to their old vows made in O. H. S. to be bachelors. We arrived safely in P'ortland, Tuesday, and 1 will be back on the job again Monday. Give my kindest regards to the lucky one, and remember MABEL. M. E. B., '27. E. L. H., '27.
