6 THE PILGRIM Class Prophecy Those who read need shed no tears: We know full well we are no seers. The following article appeared in the New York Times, on July 7, 1952: Well-known novelist plans tour of the United States. She is gathering ma- terial for a most unusual book, in which she will use many old acquain- tances as characters. She . . . The article continues, but let us change the scene. Two girls occupy a luxurious New York apartment. One is walking excitedly up and down, the other is sitting languidly in a comfort- able chair. 'Tm sure I don't know where she could be! I exclaimed, mentally wring- ing my hands. You always told me that Miss Chand- ler was such an efficient secretary, Gloriaf' was Agnes Barlow's only com- ment. She is, I answered hotly. Some- thing weird must have happened to detain her! She has been gone four weeks now. The assignment you gave her must have proved diflicultf' Aggie smugly replied, knocking my words down my throat un- til I practically choked. Possibly. I received one letter from her from Chicago last week. In it she said that she is bringing Margaret DeCost, famous dress designer, with her. Margaret has just returned from Europe. I expected them yesterdayf' A door slammed in the rear of the apartment, and Lois Chandler, Mar- garet DeCost, and a small, dark-haired girl entered the room. They were fol- lowed by our two favorite bell-hops, Louis Montali and Thomas Pimental, who were barely visible under an enor- mous pile of luggage. I have your list of people. It took four long and tedious weeks to get it, and I even had to hire another secretary to help me. I brought her back with me so that you could either pay her the salary that is due her, or, perhaps, keep her. Miss Chandler paused, breathless. But you are my secretary. I don't need another one! I rebelled. You needn't worry about that! She can be mine. Meet Miss Pozzi. Her first name is Tina. I greeted Miss Pozzi and readily assented to Miss Chandlerls idea. An- other secretary would be of assistance on my trip, although I rather resented the idea of hiring a secretary for my secretary. Still the inference was that I was a person of some importance-and this was flattering, if costly. Let's shuffle along, Agnes called from an adjoining roorn. I have every- thing ready. But how are we going? questioned Miss Chandler. The room was so silent we could hear our brains knocking. We contemplated -but, before we could all reach the same conclusion, we heard a frightening roar above our heads, and a gray streak whizzed past the terrace, circled, and landed on sixteen wheels! It resembled an extremely large bullet. Like an answer to a prayer, Audrey Maloon, world famous aviatrix, stepped non- chalantly from the machine. I was a little dubious about the huge, gray bullet, but, as the others were en- thusiastic, I had as little choice as a bone at a dog fight. We went over and examined our conveyance. It really was a plane! Collecting our bags, we climbed aboard. Our conscientious Margaret turned to the gaping bell-hops and tipped them. That's for service de luxe, she said like a condescending pat on the head. By this time the mana- ger of the hotel, George Moskos, had ap- peared to bid us carbolic acid, which is ggod-bye in any language, and we were o ! I turned to wave goodbye to my dear friend, Miss Liberty, but she was no- where to be seen. Before we were quite certain that we had left New York, we had landed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I marveled at the accomplishment of the plane-and of Audrey Maloon. At the airport, pilots Charles Nicker- son and Bradford Smith came running over, followed by mechanic William Ide. They eagerly inspected the plane. Brad- ford, still nuts about planes, begged like a worm to be allowed to try the new model, but Audrey showed no more sympathy than a robin. Will Ide, mean- While, with a hammer in his hand, pro- ceeded alternately to tap and pound the plane to determine how soundly it was constructed. Subconsciously, I compared his maneuvers to those of a doctor giving a physical examination.
