The GLEANER 1932 mous Mr. Riggert gave a long introductory address which was followed by another almost as unpleasant by John Hurley. While shopping my wife and 1 bumped into baby carriages, pushed by two old friends, Francis Yorman and Margaret Woodson. The babies were certainly fine and healthy youngsters. Francis took pride in her Bob Hartig Junior while Margaret took pride in big Phil Milbauer Junior who she thought was certainly likely to become a prize lighter like his father. Tuesday—Visited an art school conducted by Agnes Thiemann and Georgia Hagenah. I was very much shocked to see Rosemary Cunningham, an old friend of mine, posing for the artist Bowen. Donald Caylor w;fs wearily toiling on a sketch of Vera Brechtl’s face; however her nose was causing him considerable trouble. Also enjoyed the task of having Ralph Bentley, the dentist who makes pain laughable, jerk out my molar Elva Baldner was his assistant, so my pain left me gradually. On my way home I, now a miserable wreck, was assailed by red headed Francis Bvrnc and chubby LaVeda Roehrs. They swept me away with their beauty and “lines”, making me forget my pain altogether. They escorted me home all right, but then came the thunder. My wife was angry with me and I with her. For as soon as 1 received words of endearment, out stumbled the giggling John Thorne and Edward Westphal, who both had just recently received their degrees at Cambridge. Lightning shot from my eyes. At dinner this evening my wife smiled at me—so everything was jake. She almost had to smile because Syvilla Funte and Johanna Giblin were guests Thev both had finally gotten up enough nerve to find out if our marriage was on the decline. Wednesday—My wife still a bit peeved decided to go to her mother’s. Tonight I had a party. Edward Brunhoefer and Helen Christenson ma vet be arguing over the right of man. Gerald Krueger and Caecilia Thiemann grew sulky because the lights wouldn’t remain out. Keith Walsh and William Harper grew loud from drinking too much of the ale supplied by Edgar Wolter who owns an alehouse. Wilbur Cleveland and Helen Wiseman exchanged shv glances until Marian Claridge decided to leave the setee to sit with Milton Brice. Must remember to get the maid up earliest my wife return before the house is cleaned. Thursday—Visited the school of literature conducted by Maureen Hickey. Vern Hallenbeck, her partner was speaking eloquently to a group of dozing students. Allie Garske was trying to catch flies which wer buzzing about the slumbering Erwin Gardner. The Dean, Edith Scott arrived, and after adjusting her horn rimmed glasses, vigorously shook th gum-chewing Marie Schluter. Friday—Was introduced to a group of famous men today: Martin Pratt, the band Master, Willis Frank, the manufacturer of the Willis Ktiigh'. Irvin Ebel, the love sonnet writer, Gerald Cobleigh, the divine woman hater, and James Daniels, the “lion hearted”. Raymond Cummings an.! Anita Cook decided to hook up some type of radio apparatus. Saturday—Received a telegram early this morning telling of the arriv; ! of mv two nephews, Everett and Robert Faivre. Everyone was (loin nicely. I immediately got out of bed and, stumbling over the book, “Helen goes a Hunting” bv Hearing, began to dress. Everything seemed wrong,

Francis Yorman MY DIARY (Samuel Pepy’s Style) Sunday—My honored wife, Roberta Miehe and my two pairs of twin sons, Ewald Beth Henry and Henry Eschenbach Henry, Hugh Casey V. ! Henry and Ralph Wright Henry attended church. It was our good for-5 ; tune to listen to a lengthy sermon delivered by the honorable Dr. Blonien, av ; A- who is a graduate of the LaValle University. In his sermon he made reference to the book entitled “The Religion and Philosophies of Clara Baer”. 1 must not have been listening too closely fof who should I see but Bliss Crane composing a poem “To a Louse” which was crawling up •: Rose Oehler’s beautiful new spring bonnet. On our way from the service ?we met Miss Gertrude Cady whom we invited to dinner, since her escort was planning t » be there. Monday—Was aroused bright and early by our little French maid, Clarice Brown. I recommend her highly because she gets my bedroom slippers without groaning. Went to the “Bass Inn”, and bought a ticket for a fish lunch. Dorothy Bass, the proprietor readily agreed to save a XW table, for a few friends might dine with us as usual. I met Dr. Thomas rsvvell with whom I then attended the Parliamentarv meeting. The fa-

 The GLEANER 1932 for what should my new task he hut to teach our new maid, Marion Deder-ick. to heat water for mv morning drink, without scorching it. Then the doorbell rang and I found a man named Russell Douglas, the fiance of ns. Marion, tearfully begging to see her because the evening before had resulted ; in a quarrel. Received a letter from our old dear friend Harriet Harper now an old maid, trying to sue me for breach of promise because of a few letters I had written her. I was thoroughly disgusted so I got my lawyer, Seth Kirkpatric, to fix things for me. Sunday—Arose to listen to a sermon on the radio, for my gout wouldn't allow me to attend church. Whose sonorous voice should I have the ex treme pleasure to hear but that of the honorable Dr. A. Outcalt. Harold Van Allen, the crooning troubador, led the singing with the aid of his banjo. Ralph Wright, the famous organist, accompanied him. This afternoon my gout suddenly disappeared and decided to play golf. Made an appointment for three with the charming Viola Rusch, our Country Club hostess. There 1 and my partner Viola saw Anita Mueller, the second Schubert, trying to gain a few pounds by eating chocolates, and Leona kernan, Ringling’s fattest lady trying to reduce bv being her own caddy. Attended a party held by Lord “Al” Schluter. Many celebrities also attended. Little Lydia Luebke, the “dolly dimpled darling” was escorted by Richard Reines, the famous football star. Mable Joos played a special number, “John Anderson. My Jo.” Evelyn Kaldenberg and Tom Kinney gave a reading called “Winnie”. Elizabeth Huebing and Robert Horkan gave a most delightful bowery dance. Mr. Ed Niebuhr, the boresome leader of the Knee Orchestra, portrayed his talented members in several numbers. Norma Kutz and Ruth Robinson were beating a dishpan with their beautiful tiny knees. Lorraine Haessler was pounding the eggs on a spider. Mary Healy, Eleanor Schneider, and Edith Fleming were playing vigorously on combs. Agnes Fish, the human whale, swam across the stage with Marjorie Harms, the Mermaid perched on her back. The dark Marian - Krueger danced a hula hula accompanied by the blond Lee (Ileuc. Monday- Edna (iudenschwager, the Irish washerwoman, rubbed her knuckles on mv dirty collars. Frances Hainstock, the once famous dcba-tor against Webster, is now hanging up our clothes. This afternoon attended the wedding of John Phillips and Ruth Schroeder. Virginia Squires played the noted wedding march. “Yessir She’s My Baby”. Robert Schluter was best man. Joe Schalla was the ring bearer. Viola Sommers dressed in winter clothes was the maid of honor. Willard Robold !|delivered a splendid sermon on “Reno”. Tuesday—Paid my last tribute to James McCarthy, the heavy weight rchampion. His buxom wife. Ruth Medenwald McCarthy, wore a beautiful red evening gown. Laura Ninnemann. tienevieve Pfafi, and ililnia 1 hies, the pall bearers wore green because of St. Patrick’s Day. (filbert Rosenthal. the undertaker was dressed in a tux because he was to attend a dance soon afterwards. Wednesday—Today my two squawling nephews, Clarence and Paul ed. The annoying runts brought Thomas Tibbitts. the bit of a ...J Louis Vogel, the flving aerialist with them. I thought this was to be the end of a perfect day; however when I came home I found my aunt. Lhies arm fellow, and c Dorothea Trettin practising her scales. —Richard Ilenrv [301
