r By Ernest J, Lemire CAST Dorothy Lucler-Wife of a wealthy banker. Helen Gordon-An artist. Eileen McCarthy-Sob-story writer. As the curtain rises, we see Dorothy absorbed in reading the paper. The door bell rings and Helen and Eileen enter to enjoy an ' in¬ formal chat. Dorothy; Hello Helen, Hi Eileen, come in and make yourselves at home. (Girls flop easily into chair) Helen: Oh, I’m all a flutter, I just left Mary Collins’ Hat Shop , I got a real bargain, a honey marked way down. Mary always was good at striking bargains. Dorothy: Say, did you hear about Cecelia Grant? Eileen: No, Tell us about it. Helen: Sure, let us in on it. Dorothy: It isn ' t much I guess. It’s just that she’s been after Edward ' ' Vhalley hammer and tongs since he became pres¬ ident of the VVhalley-Goddard-Eeenan Airline Inc. and- Eileen: That’s ancient history. Dot. I heard that yesterday so let me broadcast my trip to California. I’m just burst¬ ing with r.ll the news I have gathered en route. Think of it, just as I was boarding the train I saw the en¬ gineer, face and hands begrimed with grease and dirt and he walked right over to me with the assurance of an old friend. Imagine the surprise I got when I dis¬ covered that he was Donald Witcher. At New York I took passage on one of the S.S. Small Steamships, controlled and operated by our nov; famous classmate, Joseph Small. I didn’t meet Joe personally but, walking up the gang¬ plank I was saluted by two gallant and husky seamen. It took a second look to convince ms that they were rep¬ resentatives of old St. Mary’s, Stanley Gac and John Ford. Behind the ship’s large bar stood Joseph Wells whom I learned was the best mixer-up. I ordered a glass of ginger ale and had a little chat with Joe over the rim. Joe told me that Ernie Bouchard v as the ship’s head steward. The boat was not leaving until evening so I decided to take in a ball game. The Yankees were playing the Red Sox and I knew some of the players so was interested. ” Batteries for the Red Sox bellowed the umpire Murphy pitch, Eckersall catch . The Sox won and I loft New York in a happy frame of mind Imowing that two classmates had helped to bring the victory. After a pleasant voyage I landed in San Francisco. It was Election Day and stretched across tho Main St. was a sign proclaiming to the world that Joseph Scannell, was running for Governor.Underneath in less conspicu¬ ous script I read that Big Bill IC nnedy was campaign manager for Scannell.

There ' s Mary McKenna writing novels by the carload and Arlene Quirk hostess for the American Air¬ line Company, and Leon Osachuk- Of course.

Don ' t get excited Helen, you ' re about the twenty-fifth on his list. I don ' t mind. I ' ll start from the bottom and v ork up. W’here did you go? What did you do? Luncheon at Ritz, dancing at Billy Rose ' s Castlemanor and listened to B. McGrath and his Ililford Minstrels. Mary Dempsky and William Hayes are professional dancers in the cast.
