“What, jou didn’t hear about it? She has been married several years now and has a very dear little girl and her husband couldn’t be any nicer to her. What, oh, he is a rich banker there. “While there we were taken out riding in Clarence Kaiser’s car. He is agent now for the Buick auto, the same that he was so interested in when attending Prairie High. “You heard about that great murder case in Milwaukee didn't you? Well, William Smith is the leading detective. He is in the secret service work of the government. “I next started for New York but on my way there I stopped off at Niagara and while there I heard Raymond Slamer lecture. He is a very famous lecturer and people go many miles to hear him. “I finally arrived in New York and Susan Doner met me at the train. Marie had told me she was there so I wired her to meet me and she did. She is head fitter for the National Cloak Company. “She said that she has often seen Milton Gremore, who is a dancing master, teaching the latest dances in a large dancing parlor there in New York. “From New York I went to Boston and while there I took in one of the largest moving picture features ever shown there. Ellen Ward was the leading lady. I understand she is a noted actress now and commands a large salary. “One evening I attended a concert by The Boston Symphony Orchestra, and you can imagine how absolutely bewildered I was to find Gladys Herold their Soprano Soloist. “I thought you would be surprised to hear that. Yes, I went to Washington next and visited the capitol, where James Sime is serving his country as United States Treasurer. He told me that Florence Milheim is private secretary of the President, and that Lewis Potratz is a wireless operator for the government. “No, I didn’t stop again until I reached Florida. I stopped at Pensacola, where they have the large university for girls. There I found Eleanor Ziel, teaching German, Latin, French and Greek, and they say she is one of the best teachers the University has ever had. She took me all through the buildings and while looking through their library I found several books written by Lucy Nickerson. She is a very popular author and her books are read in many countries. “When coming home I was seated very comfortably in the parlor car when some one sitting opposite me attracted my attention by continually looking at me. “Becoming annoyed, I returned his searching look and who should I recognize but Irvin LaBonne. He told me he had recently fallen heir to a large fortune and so was now taking life easy. “Goodness, is that six o’clock? I had no idea I was talking so long. Yes, it was an interesting vacation, and I did enjoy seeing all our old classmates. “But I must hurry home to supper. Goodbye Ethel! come down to see me before you go back, won’t you ” —Beulah Peacock. Page Twenty-Five
