Our guide told us it was the wonderful.building that Philip San Martin had given to Egypt as 'a :school in which to train young ladies to cook. We heard that Emily llleeseeling was l1is most promising Stu- dent. Wliile we were walknig by the front of tl1e building we were greatly surprised to see Helen Stevens walking LlOXV11 the Steps. She told us shevwas taking a course in cooking, She also told 11s that Sain Glasser was a popular, instructor i11 the same school.

8, SHERMAN ANNUAL. JUNE, 1922 and asked him what he had in such a large box. He told us it was a new radio, that he had invented, made especially for aeroplanes. We thought of our trip to the moon, which we were planning to take the next day, and decided to equip our new plane with one of these newradios. - a The following day we started for the moon ,arriving in about two hours. The first person we met was Herbert Palmer, who was at the station ready to act as a guide for any one who would have him. We made an agreement with him that if he, Herbert, would show us around the moon we would buy him a bag of candy. He was much pleased with this plan and we again started on our journey. As we had never been on the moon we wanted to see how the natives amused themselves. Our guide told us he would take us to the circus which was in town. lt was the Richey and Nichols circus, owned by Dolores Richey and Donald Nichols. We did not care much for circuses as a rule, but after seeing the parade, we certainly wanted to go. ln the parade King Telleson was the fat maxi and rode on a tiny little mule that could hardly lift his feet. lt was whispered that the famous Rey de la Lunal' weighed over two hundred pounds! Harry Stead, Hallie Williams and Heloise Richardson were also there. Harry was teaching the monkeys to hang by their tails. Hallie and Heloise were famous sword eaters. That night we went to a radio concert. We were surprised to see listed on the program a notice something like this: John Pete Rimoldi, soprano opera singer, will delight us wtih two selections, 'tOur School VVill Shine Tonight and ttOld Mac Donald Had a Farm. We were delighted to hear our old elassmate's wonderful voice although we could not see his handsome face. Feeling the call of home strong within us, we thought we would return to earth, so the next night we started. Going down we found that Mr. Kenneth Seebold had cheated us and given us a radio with- out a receiver. On account. of this mistake, we were unable to con- trol our machine and landed by mistake in Alexandria, Egypt. We had not wanted to come to Alexandria, but as long as we were there, we thought we might as well see all we could of the city. The first thing we needed was a guide, so we started out to find one. Seeing a man standing in front of a store with a t'For Sale sign pinned to him, we walked up to him and found that it was Chester Vaughn. As we did not want to buy him, and keep him forever, we decided to rent him. We would want his services for only a month or so, and then we would be glad to get rid of him. He proved to be a very good guide, as he took us to Where two of our old friends were sitting. They were Margaret Ritchie and Luella Tomrell. They were much decorated with all kinds of beads and gay ribbons. Already Margaret Ritchie's hair was taking on a raven hue, trying to match Luella's new complexion. They told us that for two years they had been in partnership trying to make imitation rag rugs.
