(HlaBH Prnphfrg M AKE yourself comfortable while 1 dive deeply into this well of knowledge. Since you have already had the spell of the fairy charm cast over you, it will be no trouble for you to follow me as 1 take you over mountain heights and through many earthly visions. You must be very careful not to break the charm of this enchanted land. All must be very happy, or I might miss one name that has fallen into this well cf know l¬ edge. I can see a strange land and strange people; I see that- Winston Gardner is living at Daytona Beach, trying to break the world’s auto speed record, while his wife, Mary Elizabeth Britt, is taking a big fall into society. Our friend, Hal Liles, is in a nearby city, playing rotten baseball, and “he just can’t help it.” Reba Bowers and Dulcy Andrews have opened a very nifty novelty shop in Atlanta. At last, Jim Simmons is president of the United States after many unsuccessful political attempts. And who is his charming First Lady? Why, none other than Ruth Pender, who has as her very efficient secretary Della Allsbrook. Martin Lyles, the screen star of two continents, is vacationing at Coral Gables after the filming of his latest picture, “Farewell, Peggy.” At last, Ruth Langley’s dreams have come true. She has married a millionaire and owns an estate covered with goldfish ponds with little bridges over them. In Paris we find Kathryn Sheffield and Lucy Knight Ruffin as supreme mannequins for the world-renowned designer, Elizabeth Fluck. Ed Lewis, after a very naughty, naughty, naughty youth, is an Episcopal bishop in Pennsylvania. Louise Edmondson is in Russia, selling books cn the improvement of one’s memory. In London, Vann Taylor is the leading chemist, experimenting to his heart’s content. Vallen Warren is his efficient assistant and business manager. 1
