United States with Donna as vice-president. They won in the election by an overwhelming majority. After the meeting I heard Helvie say that if she was elected she would make Clark Nelson the seeretary of state. Clark has made himself famous in congress as Senator from Oregon, and has won the name of the second Henry Clay. As Helvie Salmeen was elected President of the U. S., Clark be- came secretary of state. Next I visited the Metropolitan opera house and heard Marjorie Logan play. She is a world renowned musician now, and I felt very proud to have once known her. As a last piece she played ‘Good-bye Seaside,’’? which came out in the year 1924. I nearly wept, and the people stormed the stage and called her back. After the concert by Marjorie Logan, we visited Lew’s Hippodrome, and saw Lillian McCallister, and her pupils whom she had trained in faney dancing. Their interpretation of “The Breath of Onions’? is wonderful. We enjoyed the act rather more than usual. Robert Mott and his trained seals were next on the pro- gram. Mr. Mott has accomplished wonders with these intelli- gent animals. They acted so much like human beings that at times we could searcely distinguish Mr. Mott from them. Leaving the theatre we saw a notice of a woman’s football game with Klinor Webber, national star athlete, as captain. Of course we rushed to the scene of combat, and were just in time to see Elinor make a touch down. She is a swift runner, and a‘‘mean’’ tackle. Ter team won from Great Britain 104-0, winning the United States championship in woman’s football. At last, however, I had seen them all, and silently the kind spirit of departed youth and I rapidly glided homeward. As { slipped into my chair before the fire I turned to thank hin, but he was gone, the fire was out, and I felt suddenly very cold and stiff as if T had slept a long time.

was a basket of fruit or a portrait. She was demonstrating drawing to a class of three hundred pupils. Her marvelous paintings adorn the rooms in the White House, I have been told. What they represent no one knows, but they are cer- tainly marvelous. We left Mlle. Halle’s and went to a small office down town. On the door I notice the sign, ‘‘Miss Vida MeCauley, Chaper- one’s Rented Out, $6 per hour.’’ My old friend Vida at the job again, I remember so well the years she spent in practicing for this business by chaperoning her cousins. Chaperones were not much in demand at this day and age, but Vida had money of her own, and only did this work from a desire to be of help in the world. As we left the office and passed down town, I saw a sign in electric light, ‘‘Miss Esther Honkanen, the stage’s only and most beautiful blonde.’? Sure enough, it was Hsther. I re- member that it was often threatened that blondes on the stage and sereen would soon be things of the past, but Esther’s ex- quisite, flowerlike beauty could not be resisted. Her exper- ience, she gained from the Junior play, ‘‘Nothing But the Truth,’’ in which she played the leading role, and in the Senior play, ‘‘The Big Idea,’’ in which she was the lovely, fragile office girl. I entered the theatre, and in visiting the star’s room, saw Martha Quinn, who was wardrobe mistress for Esther. As we passed out of the theatre, 1 saw a magazine, ‘‘The Ladies’ Home Journal,’’? and noticed that Victor Palmrose. was now manager of this estimable magazine. He also was manager of the White Sox baseball nine champions. Mr. Palmrose, it is said, attributed his knowledge of managing to the practice he received while at Seaside High. L visited one of the enormous Hollywood high schools anc found as principal, my old classmate Faye Libel; with her and working wonderfully with the pupils were two students from old Seaside, Hattie Turner and Agatha Emmons. Their enor- mous success was due—they were quoted as saying—to their teaching as the teachers at Seaside had done, especially follow- ing the example of Mr. Jandrall, principal. 1 al . ay af ayn re 30 § sf = I heard Donna Grimes and Helvie Salmeen speak at a suf fragist meeting in New York ‘ity.
