THE JOURNAL on mild zephyrs, and birds were singing in the tropical shrubs. I sank onto a bench beneath a swinging palm and was dozing when Dorothy Tallon drove up in a donkey cart. She was selling drinks, candies, and papers. I bought a Society Herald whose leading article was the account of a party given by Mr. and Mrs. August Miller. I was immediately interested to learn more and upon inquiring of an attendant was informed that Mr. Miller am de biggest man in de whole world, sho am, married into de Ford family an' 'herited all de millions. Has airplanes, autoplanes automobiles, yachts 'n every thing,'n gave me a dollar one time too. He sho' am fine fellar.

When leaving the hall, I met Muriel Chase and Mildred Weyman tending the Salvation Army Kettle. I put in a nickel I had been saving for six months to give to Thomas Avylla, from whoml borrowed it one day when I met him in Bimini Bay with Elizabeth Lawlor. I used it to buy some gum for Mildred McNamara whom I met on the beach with Margaret Marie, both looking as though their last friends had departed. Arriving at the hotel again, I settled down to read a bit in order to calm my nerves.
