Mrs. A.- O, I just remembered, I heard at Al Burton's Art Studio, l1is wife, Amy Boone, gave a tea there, that Miriam Tessier has taken Mrs. Rein- hardt's place as French teacher, and Eddy Ryan is president of the college. Frances McQuillan is in Miss Dennis' place, too. Bennet Chapman has written a little Biography of Mark J. Sweany. Have you read it? Dr. A.+l'Yes, and I wish I'd known all those things when I had him in Civics. He always used to bawl me out about going to the movies, I don't see where he got that stuff. Mrs. A.f'lAnd he used to ramble around about an hour a day about my going to see Marguerite Clark, and I just loathed her. tPauseJ I understand that Mildred Bergen is using her influence to change the name of XVigwam to Page. She thinks that VVigwam is to Indian-hed a name for l1er home town. Elizabeth Crump is the town vampthere, you know. But Marjorie Dunlap runs her a close second. Virginia Garth used to hold the place, but Elizabeth beat her out of it. Isabelle jenkins is selling Annie johnston's new steam- heated, automatic rehlling tooth brush to the natives of South Borneo. Iler salesmen are Bob Kemp and Carl Fiedler. Dr. A.f Clark Robinson is making pebbles out of bowlders at Sing-Sing for stealing a casket, and his fiance, Mary Moffatt, goes to see him annually. Robert Miller is the Head Turnkey there, and Gordon Mullen is warden, with Lucille jones as matron. You know, dear, it certainly is wonderful how some of our classmates went to the bad. Gladys Knowles is in San Quentin for in- voluntary manslaughter. She killed two people while cutting corners in l1er new aero-racer. They were Gladys Koontz and Ralph Owens, who were eloping. Gladys' mechanic, Mary Linn, was badly messed up in the collision. Linton Gardner is a noted scientist, now, better than Edison was in our day, I guess. Mrs. A.- I heard that Lawrence Weir was driven crazy by Ilelen Ma- honey's cruel treatment. His nurse is Mary Margaret Stone. And what do you think, Margaret Vanneman and Christine Miller, and Ruth Mathis have joined the movies, Ruth Mathis is a second Theda Bara, Margaret is another Mary Pickford, and Christine is Norma Talmadge-'s understudy. Ruth Nich- olson, Helen Matheny, and Surilda Wilson are extras at the Paramount-Serv nett studio. Earl Plyley and Orville Grimes are trying to get in there. Dr. A.--- You know that hurry-up call I got yesterday? Well, Dorothy Masters, Zepha Stewart, and Helen VVhitecraft were out rowing on the Hudson and capsized, I had a hard time saving them. VVilliam Rottman was there with his camera for the movies, and didn't even try to rescue them. Mrs. A.f 'l'hese hurry-up calls are suspicious. I notice that your head nurse, Lorene INIcBeath, was there, too. Dr. A.f Don't worry, she's going to marry Don Crowder. But here is something that will make you jealous, one of my old flames, Bernice Wilson, telegraphed me today that she is coming here with an operetta, and I want you to meet her, she's a mighty fine woman. Mrs. A.-HQHaughty look and icy stare.l Aha, there are my grounds for divorce, thank you, Doctor Allison, I'll sue you tomorrow. Dr. A.- Well, never mind, we'll discuss that tomorrow, if we want to see the Follies we had better hurry up. EXIT. 15
