28 THE EAGLE he intends to spend tl1e remainder of his life laboring as a missionary. While in Venice the Misses Allan and Griffith completed their course in interior decorating. The-y will arrive in New York on Sunday afternoon.' Can you imagine it! Donald McMillan, how would he leave Lucind.a? A Missionary in China! What ever could have induced him to do this? Why, honey, he decided to become a Missionary to go to China as soon as Lu- cinda broke their engagement. That was shortly after graduation. Perhaps it is best that he chose this vocation, for he will be able to divert his mind from his bitter disappointment which the broken-engage-ment must surely have been for him. I can still remember how devoted. he was to her, and how we used to tease them both. Yes, Don must have been broken-hearted, but it seems that it was for the best. I wonder how a Brabazon Rutherfoord made out in life. Perhaps he is a great opera singer over in Europe. ' Opera singer? Why, Brab is President of the Citizens National Bank. He under- we-nt a serious throat operation about five years ago, and since then. has been unable to sing. His interest now is centered upon young artists, and each year he awards a prize to the winner of the art contest which he sponsers. Last year the award. was given to Miss Dorothy Sowers. Her painting, 'The Farmyard', may be views in the Rutherfoord Art Gallery. Not meaning to change the subject, but your hair looks very nice tonight, Estella. Did you have it set? Why .no Jerry, while down street this afternoon I noticed that the Kitt Beauty Parlor was having a special on permanent waves so l got one. Helen is certainly a genius at hair dressing. Guess who was there when I went in? Ellen and Annabelle Moyer. They are leaving tomorrow for New York to purchase their summer stock for the store. They surely have the be-st line of women's clothes in town. Well, I don't know much about women's clothes, but I will say Steve Pukl car- ries the best line in men's clothing. I ordered a new suit from him this afternoon, is it classy! That means a new outfit for the wifey, eh Jerry? You guessed it, Emery. By the way, there's a big basketball game tomorrow night, South Union-V. S.-Georges. This game will decide the county champs. Maxine Phillips has turned out an A 1 team of girls this year. They haven't lost a game yet. Seems she decided to become a physical educational instructressf' Yes, and Gertrude Livingston didn't make a mistake when she took up ne-ws: paper work either. She is now assistant Editor of the Gossiper's Tribune. Assistant Editor? That is rather a nice position. Wonder what became of her pal, Helen Migacz? Helen is in Philadelphia teaching a class of blind children. Lenora Dulaney is also there. She is supervising nurse of the children's ward in the Penner Hospital. It was always her delight to be with little ones, and they say that all the children love her. Lenora certainly possesses a great deal of patience. I can still see her in the library in good old South Union. Say, Jerry do you realize that I must have some one to help me with the house cleaning? I'll bet you never even gave a thought of finding me a girl today. Now, did you? I must confess I didn't. But why not hire Beatrice Freeman for a steady hired girl? Beatrice Freeman? Why, she's in Washington, working for Senator Myers. Do you think for a minute that she would quit there, and work for me? I would like to have her though, for I always liked her. She was a good worker and was always willing to give a helping hand. Yes, Beatrice was a good friend to every one. By the way, did I hear you say Senator Myers? Yes, Senator Myers. Surely, you don't mean to insinuate that you were ignorant of the fact that Floyd Myers was elected to the Senate? Really, Jerry, I am beginning to wonder if you really know that you are an Attorney. I realize that I am rather behind in recent events, but I never was very interested in elections. When it comes to the law I am right at home. Did you know that Attorney Haines' privte secretary resigned? She was married yesterday afternoon. I think I'll apply for the position. You wouldn't mind, would you, Jerry? Too late now, honey. Margaret Walla has already accepted the position. Guess I'll have to say at home then. I could-n't even come near being equal to Margaret, much le-ss getting ahead of her. She is one pupil that South Union may well be proud of. Well, I'll say this for Margaret: She is one of the neatest and 111ost accurate secretaries to be found. And that's saying something. Emery, what ever happened to Bruce Thomas? - Why, l1e's selling some kind of a pate-nt medicine for the liver. Didn't he ever come here? Not yet, but he may as well stay way because my liver is still in good shape. I haven't had any trouble with mine yet either! I wonder what Martha Dymond is doing now? Ever hear of her? About a month ago she was soliciting contributions for the- continuation of her social-reform program. That's the last I've heard of her.

THE EAGLE , 27 Well, my dear, if you are planning to listen to her, you had better tune in rather quickly. It is no-w 5:55. You may he-ar her last number. 5:55! How the time flies! Hurriedly, Estella tuned in at station K U K U. She was just in time to hear the announcement, Miss Galvin will again be on the air at this time next Saturday eve- ning. She will be accompanied by the famous Pianist, Miss Lois Johnson. This pro- gram is brought to you through the courtesy of the Springer-Roth Co., Manufacturers of those famous Springer-Roth Hair Curlers guaranteed to curl the hair within six min- utes. Well, I missed Eleanor, but I won't miss Etta Gilland. who is playing the leading role in Ruth Shannon's gre-at mystery play, 'The Unbroken Seal.' She will be on in fifteen minutes, so I may as well turn to station W I Z A now: The Roaming Cowboy's Serenade was just beginning. Softly came the strains of a guitar, and a voice singing, The Cowboy's Lament. Why, that sounds like Robert Phillips, doesn't it? That's just who it is. I could tell his voice in a million. Reme-mber how he used to play and sing for us during home-room periods? I'll never forget that song he used to sing about Frankie and Johnnie. Wonder what became of his two pals, Mike Bednarik and Max Plichta. Ever hear of them, Emery? Max Plichta is head waiter at the Everly Cafe. Earl certainly has a classy place. Ever been there? Well, you ought to visit him soon. I go there frequently, but he makes me come in the back door. You know how it is, all the big, rich guys go there, and they might feel hurt seing me there, too. But I don't mind that because Max always makes up for it by giving me double-measure. By the way, remember VV!anda Rout and Nell Stotelmeyer? They were in the floor-show the other night. They sa-ng the late number composed by Ruth Lawson, Only A Butterfly. Earl says he is thinking of hir- ing them for the season. But what became of Mike? f'Oh, Mike and I spend quite- a bit of our leisure time together. He used to give me a great deal of competition, but we soon fixed that. We agreed to take certain sec- tions of the town, and each must stay within his own territory. The kids sure do like him. But how could he compete with you? Is he an organ-grinder, too? No, he's a peanut vender. Still, I can't see how that would give you much competition. Well, being a peanut vender doesn't, but he dresses like the pied-pier, and plays Mother Goose melodies on a fife. Had. he not compromised, I would have been forced out of business. Mike always was a jolly fellow. By the way, Estella, did you know that your old chum, Ethel Hagerty, was in the hospital? Ethel in the hospital? Why only two days ago, I received a letter from her telling me that she had secured a position as hostess in an airplane, and was leaving within an hour for her first trip. Surely you must mean someone else. No, I mean Ethel Hagerty. The-y had almost reached their desination, when the pilot, Murray White, lost control of the plane, and they crashed. Besides Ethel and Murray, three of the passengers were seriously injured. Among them was Alice Barnes, the noted dress-designer, who was enroute to Paris. Sadie Massimiani, the celebrated novelist, was also aboard the plane, but she escaped without injury. Poor Ethel! , I will wire her some flowe-rs tonight. What could have caused Murray to loose control of the plane? No one knows. He is still unconscious, and until he regains consciousness, it will all remain a mystery. Speaking about recent events, did you two hear of the sudden death of Doctor Con- cilus? Why I purchased a paper for the sole purpose of reading about that, but the sur- prise of seeing my old pal, Emery, made me forget it. Se-e, here is the paper. Since you know the detials, what do you say to telling Emery and me about it, Estella? There is very little to tell. He was found lying on the floor of his bedroom e-arly this morning by his fathful valet Leslie Fields. Coroner E. Warman was called, and upon investigation of the case, reports that Dr. Concilus died a natural death. Heart trouble seems to have been the cause. He will lie in state at the Lenox Morgue until Tuesday morni-ng. His funeral will be held in St. Mary's R. C. Church at nine o'clock, with Rev. Father J. Robert Carbin officiating. What J. Robert Carbin officiating? What do you mean, my dear? Surely you would not joke about such a serious matter. f'But Jerry, there is no joke about Robert Carbin being a Priest. He is Assistant Pastor of St. Mary's Church, and will conduct the funeral services for our beloved friend, Frank Concilus. Rev, Father Carbin! I can't believe it, can you, Eme1y? Well, it is hard to belie-ve, but he did say he was going to be one. No one ever believed him though, for he was to wild. Wild? And how! And he only went to church on Christmas and Palm Sunday and Easter! To think that he has devoted his whole life to the Church now! Strange things will happen. Strange things-Why, Jerry, Emery, listen to this: 'Francis Allan and Maxine Griffith are returning from their trip abroad, on the Steamer Sante Cassino. They are' being accompanied a short distance by the Rev. Donald McMillan, who will join a COHJDHDY of YOLlng ministers in Montevideo, preparatory to his departure to China where

THE EAGLE 29 Well, there is one old pal of mine that that I would certainly like to see once more, and that's Lucetta Berndtf' Why, Emery, she is coming to visit us tomorrow. You will have your wish ful- filled. But what is she doing for a living? Did she ever marry Tommy? No, she never married anyone. She is having one grand time of life. Her uncle, who was supposed to be as poor as a Church mouse, died and left her a vast fortune. The first thing she did then was to establish a home for little children. She super- vises it personally, and no child ever had a mother more tender than she is to those poor tots. We have always remained close friends, and it at her request that we named our oldest daughter 'Marion'. Why 'Marion, Estella? She merely told me that her dearest friend was named that. At her childrenks home, there is also a little girl whom she calls 'Marion' She is the sweetest child that I have ever met. Lucetta said it was be-cause her disposition and features were so much like those of her old. friend, that she named her 'Marioni I would like to learn more about this friend, but I am afraid to penetrate further into Lucetta's secrets. And now Emery, I hope you have changed your mind about refusing to be our guest for a couple days? - t'He needn't think he's leaving tonight. He's going to stay right here. Aren't you, Emery? I certainly have-n't much to say about the matter as far as I can see, but I'm not kicking about the decision. This has been the happiest day of my life since 1934. Yes, it has been a happy day for us all, and tomorrow will be but a continuation of this happiness. Far into the night they talked of those dear days of long ago, all unconscious of the fact that in those few brief hours, they had discussed the careers of each individual of that class of '34,
