The lia ssayamfier Pages Y rom An Artist’s Diary Piescott, Arizona. Nov. 30, 1935. Well, Little Book, I tcld you I was coining home (It surely seems like home) for a visit, didn’t 1 ? I’ve certainly had a gool time while being here too. Mrs. Smith, the leading society lady here, who, by the way, used to be Margaret Orthel, met me at the train and brought me right to her home and she’s certainly been wonderful to me. I have also met many other old pals. Inez Hollirigshead is teaching Chemistry in the New High School now and Leotia Stoney is the History teacher. To tell you who I met before I left Washington—when I went to the Railroad office to see about my private car, the officials sent me to the President and there was Fred Cromwell himself and Pearl Davis as his private Secretary. People always did say they’d never he separated. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were married and Pearl is working in order to he with Fred more, ’cause you know she never liked to sit around home alone. While 1 was waiting in the depot, two lovely little children came over and were talking to me and when their mother came over after them I remembered her as Mar- garet Elliott. Her husband has a government position in Washington. Mrs. Smith was telling me that Bob Yount is a noted physician in Los Angeles and has a wonderful little family. She also informed me that Mary Humphreys is teaching athletics in a girl’s school in Kentucky and that Marjorie Bonner is an artist in Greenwich Village, while Edith Otey is studying law in Massachusetts. Celsus Albert is working for the railroad. He is Superintendent or something like that and is making good. Alfred Goodwin has the largest men’s clothing store in town, w'hile Charles Wren is Prescott’s leading automobile dealer. Verna Foster is teaching here in the kindergarten. Elsie Shupp is some sort of scientist, studying flowers and such things. Well, Little Book, it is almost time for me t: be leaving this old town and traveling across the sea; I had a letter from Gail to-day ar.d she said for me to hurry up and get my visit over. Paris, France. Jan. 14, 1936. Now, Little Book, we are in gay Paree and Oh! what a good time we had coming over. Mary, Gail, and I have an apartment here and we surely enjoy it. Last night we were at one of the Roof Gardens and to my surprise a good-looking young man came up to me ard asked me if I wasn't Dorothy Hennig, the pianist, and when I answered him in the affirmative, he sh ok my hand and told me that he was my old friend. Maurice Tovrea. We girls were certainly astonished for we never ex- pected to meet any of our fellow classmates this far from home. After talking to Maurice a while we learned that Alice Hill and Charlotte Raible are also here. Alice, Maurice explained, is working on a newspaper here as assistant Editor-in-Chief while Charlotte is traveling in Italy to learn s much as she can about Roman History, as she is much interested in Latin. Maurice also told us that his uncle had died and left him a vast fortune, so he was just having a good time. My, my Little Book, this is an awfully big world, but not TOO big after all.
