24 THE MIRROR Women play a big part in the life. of the day. Man has fallen off his pedestal. Edna LaRosee, Rebecca Marcou, and Marie Marchetti were political figures of importance. They could swing the votes in any way that they pleased. I heard Mary Burke telling many interesting stories. She had just completed a tour- of the country on a bicycle. Elinor Spencer and Mildred Vinal have wasted their lives in vain. They spent long hours searching through ancient documents looking for the secret of Cleopatrais beauty. Edith Kniznik was dreaded by small schoolboys. She was a music teacher and you know how much the small lad likes to take his music lesson. Audrey Wiley, ably assisted by Josephine Beninati, has taken advantage of one of the- weaknesses of human beings. She runs a correspondence school where one is taught, in three lessons, to be master of any situation. Frederick Owen, with his wife, the former Virginia Betts, had to leave before the affair was over. Fred had to be up early the next morning. He was a milkman. Charles Annunciata has risen to be quite a celebrity in the art world He portrayed the rather rare scene of a Scotchman throwing away dollar bills.

He invented a folding chair that really did fold. v V Olive Cunningham and Margaret Doyle were engaged in a risky occupation. They were bill collectors in the iirm of Canter and Collins. Lillian Canter and Catherine Collins were yeast cake manufacturers--quite a rise in life. Dick Mitchell has become quite a snob . He is stuck-up as they say it in slang. His glue business has been quite a success. We must all deny ourselves something in this life. Margaret Gallant and Raymah Davis have denied theme selves all the luxuries of life. They, like Diogenes, are searching for an honest man. All I can say is Good Luck to them. Rose Johansen and Louise Main are real pioneers. They are Home-steading in the wilderness of Lincoln. The raising of animals is their hobby-dandelions and snake grass. Some people live by their beauty. Eva Kramer and Dorothy Kittredge have Won many prizes in bathing beauty contests. Gertrude McNamara, Susan Tortola, Marion Parkin- son, and Anna Martowski nearly spoiled the joy of the evening. They started a squabble over who Was going to dance the next dance with John Mullen. John was a model for collar advertisements. He was a panic with the ladies. fWhile the ladies were contesting over John he danced off with Beatrice Maines, whose name was now Mrs. Sousa. Paul Sousa was a live Wire salesman. He sold Window shades manufactured by Walter Jaynes. The shades were guaranteed not to snap up at the Wrong moment.
