24 THE TUSCOLIAN Byrle Lewis has graduated recently from the E. Burnhams Beauty School. It is reported that she taught them touches on “La figure” which heretofore had been unknown. Helen Scheideman has been advertising in the county papers an article. “How I Reduced.” She still weighs two hundred five pounds; hut she declares that her weight is so light in comparison with her former weight, that she believes her invention is the only sure and guaranteed method of disposing of surplus flesh. When I visited Mr. H. H. Kirkpatrick, who. by the way, is still Superintendent of our high school, he informed me that two of our classmates were teaching there. Fae Helm has charge of the American History classes and Florence Bell is the head of the Physics department. Each of the girls understands her business thoroughly, but one man stands between them. He is Harold Lincoln, who has purchased a site opposite the building, so that lit may watch all of their movements: Florence with one eye, and Fae with the other. Cozetta is hot on the trail of J. H., who is now the worlds most accomplished pugilist. When I was in Camargo, I saw a sign which read: “Brooks. Foley, and Hunt, Matrimonial Specialists.” I ambled over and was greatly surprised when Gladys not recognizing me asked: “Where does she live? When is ?” just then Pauline and Leona came and I was recognized (I was rescued), Gladys begged my pardon and invited me to stay a while, and be entertained. I certainly was entertained, for they understand the art of true hostesses. You see. they were trained at the expense of their former husbands. In Decatur I found Charles Innis and his wife, formerly Miss Hallie Cox. 1 hey are living happily and enjoying an income from her handsome estate. Miss Mary Larmore never recovered fully from the shock of this marriage, and she declares that all men are scalawags with little thought of the heartbreaks that they cause. Miss Reeta Ross lives with her. and she also had an affair of the heart with that lucky Innis. Mary Belles and Edith Roderick live in Bloomington. I am going there now. I his affair that I am carrying on my shoulders is very delicate and will have to be performed in regular romantic style: that is by using the ladder and an upstairs window about midnight. I think that her name will be Mrs. Edith Richards before long. I will let you know the result the next time I write. Your friend, classmate, and well-wisher, HARLAND RICHARDS, (Bott). H.
