day, was recently crowned Miss Universe. The marvels of diet, girls! Rita Kelly's wonderful cure for athlete 's foot has put her on easy street. In my wanderings I passed the King Foundling Home. Sarah waved to me from an upstairs win- dow--a baby on one arm. Junior Lane 's twelfth volume of the life of Joseph McCarthy is just off the press and selling like flannel underwear in July. The tactless soul who told me this was crisp Lavonne Lord, an efficiency expert on Time-Saving for the Good Housekeeping Institute. we have so many in our class, I gave up at a late hour trying to learn the whereabouts of them all, but I went at it with renewed enthusiasm the next morn- ing. The telephone book in my hotel room was a great help. Sumae McAllister nearly knocked out my tired eyes when I saw and talked at the same time with her on the visual-phone. She has a chain of reducing salons. What a figure! Poor Doris McConnell is battling the trade of try- ing to break in as a night club singer. Maybe some day she will get that break. She told me Darrell McKee is slowly starving to death as a pearl diver in the shoals near Okinawa. Today I heard somewhere in the jumble and rumble of the vast city, Ronnie Martin's voice bel- lowing the charms of a hula -hula gal in a carnival. Oh yes, Bob Motley was throwing knives at a beautiful Indian girl in one of the tents. I asked Ida Bell Moyer, who had a shooting gal- lery there, if she and Paul Dean had ever made it to the altar, and learned she had given him his ring back the night before. I.n talking with her, I leamed that Maxine Norton is conducting tours in Death Valley. As I was leaving the carnival grounds, Barbara Ode saw me from her jet -copter and yelled that she had something she just HAD to tell me. After land- ing, she said she had just recieved patent rights on a fool-proof lie detector. Don Pine chugged by on his motor scooter, pa us- ing long enough to tell us he was on the last lap of a round the world trip. A loud explosion from a near-by fire cracker fac- tory caused us to jump several feet. Gordon Pleus reassured us he was only testing the effectiveness of his compa ny's latest product. We needed soothing, so Barb accompanies me to a near-by restaurant where we sipped our drinks to restful music provided by Marvin Paxton and his zither. Dorothy Plummer waited on us. She said that she planned to leave this job for the farm because city life was not for her. I tore myself away from these two gabby char- acters and returned to my room for a much needed rest. After a snooze, I turned on the TV set, and there was glamour puss Sherry Ransom selling Rev- lon products. A newscast brought me the flash that Pebble Beach QA. C. Reelj, who had just completed his twelfth movie, would undoubtedly replace Rock. I noticed on the desk in my room a colorful book about hypnotism, the author of which was Janice Rhodes. In looking through some old theatrical maga- zines the maid had forgotten to take out with the trash, I read a glowing account of David Roads' per- formance as the lead in Charley's Aunt. Also in the magazines was Floyd Robertson's pic- ture as the Man of Distinction who had recently switched to you know what. Having spent too much time in this manner, I a- gain hit the pavements, my destination being the the United Nations building. My guide was Lecie Robinson. She said Louise Ruble was a tester for Pop and Blow bubble gum and stuck with the job. Lecie had heard from home that J.M. Sapp had just been convicted of stealing more money from the taxpayers than Orville Hodge. She had also heard that Deleta Shaw was the 'Miss Brooks of Pittsfield High and had written a foreword to Mike Smith's new book How to Fly Kites on a Windless Day. Almost forgot that Doris Smith Webel is making a name for herself as a sttmt flier with a barnstorm- ing outfit. Nancy Smith, loaded down with books ran into me as I got off the elevator. She has her Ph.D in philosophy and loves going to school, she said. Bill Stauffer had written her how much he is en- joying selling balloons at county fairs. Leaving the UN, I met Shirley Thrasher who had just returned from a successful tour as a featured trampoline performer. She told me that Roger Webel was getting no- where as editor of Confidential, but that Nancy Willis had just won a pogo contest, having jumped farther than the other contestants. We were both pleased and surprised when Karen Willsey joined us. She was so busy as owner of a large fish hatchery that she felt she should see more people and fewer guppies. Well, Gert, this is a long report, but you know mel What am I doing? Well Ill Wouldn't you and the rest of the 5'7'ers like to knowl ll See ya, Myn
