Later, as I was passing through Twin Falls I attended Ring Ling Circus and to my astonishment saw Helen Piowell acting under the name ot Madame d'Magna, as The Human Bean Pole. In the same performance was Frank Hunter as The Freak Contortionist and Cigarette Fiend. He and Madam d'Magna have been good trends for many years, but their friendship has culminated into a real, old-fashioned love match. When I returned to the Perrine Hotel whom should I find but Alapha Rutledge. She is a traveling saleswoman for the Run-Proof Hosiery Co. of Min- neapolis. In Chicago I heard Berenice Anderson, the wonderful pianist. She was ac- companied on her tour by Breitta Abbott, the celebrated fiddler. One of their selec- tions was Toothpicks. In Washington, D. C., I happened to run across Julia Toyer, now the wife of Senator Kann, at a reception at the White House, She is one of the society leaders in the capital. While I was in the vicinity of the South, I made a visit at the very charm- ing home of David McDonough, who is living in New Orleans. He is a wealthy ex- porter of tobacco. While walking with some of the wealthy society bugs of Palm Beach I saw Frank Anderson, the light weight champion of the west, who had recently been vic- torious in a boxing match with Spider Jones, lightweight champion of the South. In New York City I visited Henry B. He is pastor of the Holy Roller Church, and among his ardent followers are Alice Hansen and Madeline Hanafin, who, every Friday afternoon, spend an hour on the 31st floor of the Woolworth building making hot rolls for the next day's service. I expect this letter has been tiresome but will take a minute more to wish you good luck as manager of the Green Dragon Tea House, in Boston. Sincerely, HAZEL MARKLE. ' ' P. S. Don't write till I cable you my Paris address. I'm going there now on my semi-annual trip to buy the latest gowns for the Ladies' Clothing Shop, of Atlantic City. A. S. M. Kc M. J. S.

315- , Ulhe Qlnmet 19 2 2 Brnpherg New York City, Sept. 13, 1942. Dear Pearl F. H I haveijust returned from a tour of the States, having followed the slo- gan, See America First, and have taken particular pains in my travels to look up old friends, most of whom were in our class of '22, The first friends I met in my travels were Mr. and Mrs. Gerhard Reidesal. Mrs. Reldesal was formerly Lucy Smith. I had some difficulty in seeing them be- cause Mr. Reidesal is the president of the Associate Nuts of California, and they are very exclusive. In Frisco I went to see The Unshelled Raspberry, a farcical play, in which was featured as leading lady, Dot Darling-alias Dorothy Guyer. This is a very popular play and was dramatized from the novel entitled A Thesis on Darwin's Theory of the Survival of the Fittestf' written by Margaret Scholer. Others taking part in this farce are Mildred Buse, who has the part of the leading lady's mother-and Clara Rickert and Nellie Moncur, who have prominent roles. In Berkeley I chanced to hear that Mabel Hansen was now Dean of Women at the girls' dormitory. I went to see her and found her in excellent health and spirit. The same day as Mabel and I were taking a stroll around the campus, we saw a queer-looking man walking very slowly along the gravel walk, searching the ground intently. I was interested and asked her who he wars. She told me the start- ling fact that it was Prof. Betty, teacher of geology. I-Ie was a typical bald-headed professor with a very absent-minded air about him. I heard a very interesting bit of news from Marjorie Ayers, who is operat- ing at vine-covered cottage for two. She said that our old friends, Adah Wilson and Mildred Gregory had given up all aspirations of matrimony and had entered a nurses' training school. There are two broken hearts over this-Clare and Jack being the unlucky HJ individuals. They are living at the bachelors' home instituted by M. McKendrick. He has made it a very successful institution and popular resort for the dlssappointed in love. Of course you have read the papers and have read about Virginia Hawk be: coming a successful leader in reform against immodest dress. As you probably know, Catherine 0'Donnell is still in Ireland and leading ln the fight for suffrage. When I visited Rupert ftor, of course, I had to see the scenes of my high school daysj I met several of our old H. S. friends. One day I met on the street a tall, stately gentleman, dressed all in black, and to my surprise recognized it to be Russell Plank, who has succeeded Mr. Goodman in the undertaking business. Lillian Clark and Nellie Nicholson are running a beauty parlor in Rupert and do exceptional work, specializing in Marcel waving. In connection with the beauty parlor Lela Nelson and Lila Oliver are operating the Terpsichore dancing pavilion. Ed Johnson and Mrs. Ed Johnson tAlice Anderson? so I heard, settled down
