As Miss Goodwin and I proceed to the ranch house, we find every- thing in an uproar because a marriage has just taken place between two notables of the county. One, indeed, is none other than honest Diamond Jim Andrew, candidate for President-uthe people's choice, born in a log cabin, reared in the gutter, running on the '6Nutzy ticket. Against him is Virginia Forsythe on the MTheatre ticket. He is marrying Rhitah Jeanne Brown, freshly divorced in Reno from her fifth husband. The ceremony was performed by the Honorable Reverend Wm. T. Heath and was broadcast over the international network of the Derringer Broad- casting Studios as a publicity stunt to encourage romance. This mar- riage once again dampened the spirits of Robert Maynard, millionaire playboy, who has spent the best years of his life pursuing La Brown. Music for this ceremony was furnished by Maestro Wilce and his uPlas- tered Pipers, featuring Phil Miller and his roughhouse rhythm and that flaming torch singer, Jean Hubbard. Nestled in a secluded nook, Fran Wagenhals is eagerly devouring the pages of the best seller, g'I'Iow to Win Men and Influenza, by co- authors Pat Nielsen and Caroline Felker. Imagine our surprise when we recognized even more persons in the crowded lobby. Her Highness, Vicontesse Jayne Colliope Weathers, is discussing politics with the great screen lover, Michael Valentino Khourie, who is vainly trying to introduce a more intimate topic into the conversation. Near by, Daniel Dale Dupler, Big Ten coach, is discussing the latest news of Arlington's 35th consecutive victory over Grandview with Siz- zling Sluggerw Crane, world flyweight champion, and Ed Shaffer, tennis chump who is at the ranch recovering from a nervous breakdown after losing the Davis Cup for the ninth time. My attention is called to the three barons of the underworld. Two of them, HFish Facei' Jarvis and his gun moll, uToots Grover, have just worked out an infallible system to beat the numbers racket fdivide the number of coins in your pocket by the time of day, multiply by the mile- age on your speedometer, add the number of years you've spent in prison, divide by the age of your first wife when you shot her, and you have itj. The third member of the trio, Baby Face Cameron, is pitch- ing pennies with the proprietor of a flee circus, Bill Smith, who pitches while he scratches. In the ranch house, Bob McElree is proudly showing off his many tattooed figures collected in odd spots of the world. Martha Edge, famous for her reducing diets, Mademoiselle La Meuser, latest toast of Paris fand we don't mean burntj, and that lonely cowboy Tripp were vaguely looking on. Dr. Robert H. Hamlin, Ph.D., D.D., B.A., B.S., B.M., Esg., Professor of Philoprogenitology, is in an animated discussion with bespectacled Joyce Tefft, famous archeologist and author of the treatise, MThe Re- spective Progress of the Science of Cosmetology in the Civilizations of the Antediluvian Man and the Pithecanthropus Erectusf' As I stopped to exchange a friendly word with them, I learned that Don Schiesswohl had lately embezzled three million dollars from his firm and had skipped to Mexico to finance a revolution, and that Robert Anstaett, Walt Disney's crack fcrackedj beauty specialist, went also to get a close look at those tough Mexican senoritasf, As I mounted the stairs to my room, whom should I bump into but Marge Mochel, the only woman undertaker in the States.
