THE PIQUONIAN Remember how Howard Lane used to dislike French in school? He must have lost the aversion because he's now ambassador to France! Helen Metz is certainly progressing. She recently acquired the title of 'the best dressed woman in Chicago'? Gee, it seems funny but I can remember about the girls so much better than I can the boys! I believe that someone said that Betty Schneider is a cosmetic demonstrator. I saw Helen Recker in Cincinnati a few weeks ago. She's head of a large hospital there. She informed me that Gladys Buchanan is a prominent interior decorator in Boston. I was reading 'The Saturday Evening Post' yesterday and guess what I saw? Catherine and Charlotte Loefiier in a colored advertisement, dressed up fit to kill. Someone said that they've accumulated a small fortune by posing for commercial advertisements. I also noticed Parker Brush's picture. Parker is the champion corn-husker of the world. Speaking of champions--'I hear that Charles Fessler has gained laurels by his champion- ship billiard playing. Do you listen to Lorene Fogt every Friday morning, Jeanette? Someone told me she gives helpful household hints to housewives. Not that you need them. Wayne Wagner recently catapulted into the limelight. He invented a device which is able to detect when a person is telling a lie. That's some invention! It got a tremendous write- up in Edna Boyer's newspaper, 'The Evening Star'. I suppose you know that Ruth Bevans is the fashion editor of that paper, and Ethel Schmidlapp writes the beauty hintsg Kathryn Clark gives advice to the lovelorn, and Florence Covault is on the editorial staff. Dorothy Shane and Margaret Hiegel are the owners of a jewelry store which is second only to the Cartier's. Virginia Landon and Catherine McQuinley, who married millionaires, are frequently seen shopping there. Remember our athletic heroes in high school, Ralph? I guess several of them are quite well-known now. Bob May is athletic director at Yale, Bob York is football coach at Dart' mouth, and Don Woods and Bob Webster are basketball coaches at Illinois. Our old 'side-kick' Joe Shuchat probably wouldn't even speak to us now since he was elected mayor of New York. Rose Mae Ciriegio is his private secretary. She was recently named by the 'Sunday Mirror' as the perfect example of a model secretary. I ran into Lorena White the other day. She informed me that her name is now Madame Bubenstein Cwe both had to chuckle a while at thatj and that her most talented operators are Helen MacKellar, Helen Miller, Mary Turpen, and Annabelle Tilton. Florence Gattield, Izora Long, and Mildred Polhamus are certainly enjoying their jobs as hostesses on the Transcontinental Airway Line owned by Helen Hearst and Ellen Bergdoll. Albert Elliott and Dorothea Reed are doing some high stepping in the Follies Bergere in Paris. Leave it to Boo to find the place with the prettiest girls. Homer Lane is head of a huge dairy in Milwaukee. George Hiegel, George Julien, Jacob Millhouse, and Glenwood Ketzel are associated with him. Hey, wake up! What's the big idea? Mr. Vosler had finally noticed that his wife and their guests were asleep and snoring. Am I mortified!! Am I boining up, he said in the typical Vosler manner. Have I been talking to myself all this time? He emitted several shrieks, but they were of no avail. The snores continued. At last he gave up in disgust and having curled up in his chair he was soon snoring with as much gusto as the others. Another Vosler habit!
