QUINIAULT Doc “By the way, who knows where Margarite Barret is?” Sid “Mercy, but you are behind times. She created the new Barret hair wave years ago. It was all the rage in Junction City, and in fact, “Bing” Morgan uses it on the stage now.” Marion “Speaking of the stage, Frances Moore pulled a rather clever stunt when she married the foreman of the Anderson Middleton mill. That was just after school was out.” Sid “Marion, you always did know all the latest in scandal. Can’t . tell us some more about the nineteeners?” Marion “1 could talk all night.” Doc “Well, before you begin let me tell you this. While 1 was it. New York 1 saw Louis Hogan and Florence Garner. They have opened a dancing academy and are training girls for Olney and Carlyle. Now Marion, you may begin.” Marion “Inga Krussell and Helen Sedlad have gone to China as missionaries, and Alba Shipman has a string of ‘Purity Counts’ drug stores. One in nearly every town in Brazil. He makes the rounds every week in his Shipman Stilts special, and---.” Doc “Just a minute please, before I forget. Did you hear the last election returns? No? Well, Herbert Ellison, one of our most studious members, has been elected to the Presidential chair and has appointed Nicholas Scott one of the cabinet members. I believe lie is to be the Secretary of the Protection of Bachelors, and Esther Erickson is to be his private secretary.” Sid “She always was a shark when it came to handling notebooks. Say, did Ben ‘Turpin’ Curran take up the study of higher French so that he could teach it to the Irish?” Doc “No. He gave that up long ago, but he did take up the study of baseball in its higher elements and is now the manager of the New York Giants.” Madame ernon picks up the evening paper, saying, “Let’s see if there is anything in the paper about the last game.” She continues to read. Marion “Look here! Lyndell Messer is billed here tonight as the Diving Venus. What do you know about that?” Doc Come on, let s all go to the show to celebrate the reunion.” Sid “All right, lets go. Hurry, Madame, and get your things.” Marion Neda, we are going out. Be sure and put the cover over the parrot at eleven, turn out the cat at half past, and wind the clock.” —30—

Q U I N I A U L T Marion “Last I heard of him he was a matinee idol, a real hero, adored and worshipped by Junior High school girls especially.” Sid “Bing, poor boy, you know he was disappointed in love, but nevertheless he claims that he will not always be a single man, for the last time 1 saw him he was planning a trip to the Madame Vernon Spinster Home. Marian “Neda, do you know anything about any of our old class mates?” Neda “Do I! Here’s a letter I received today from Mary Cooper. You know she is doing research v ork for the soldiers trying to find their old sweethearts. She writes of Esther Dole and Roberta Chabot, who established a beauty parlor and gained world-wide fame by removing the freckles from the face of Honorable Clinton Tennyson Hurd and since then he has been traveling as a side attraction for the McClung and Eubank Winter Garden Show, which is featuring Storky's golden voice and Olney’s four toe walk. Doc “Oh yes, speaking of Olney made me think of Margaret McLaughlin. She is the grand and glorious vamp in the Strommer tragedies and is managed by Ed Carpenter, who, you remember, was the manager of our class play.” Sid Rember Cecelia Carlson? I heard some news about her the other day. She entered the world of matrimony with Sheeny and they are now partners in the second hand store called ‘The Three Gold Balls.’ Very prosperous, too.” Marion “Wanda and Cecelia were inseparable so I must tell you about Wanda now. She has been directing love scenes in the Bijou Stock company. You know that she had lots of practice during her high school days.” Doc “Yes, but that is not all. 1 heard that she was mixed up in a law suit for vamping other women’s husbands, and come to think of ii Don Linn was the attorney. Great man! Sid “My word ! And have you heard about DeWitt Bertrand ? He has gone into partnership with Fern Weatherwax in running a sani-torium for reducing weight. Both can give excellent advice, I am sure.” Marion “Dear, dear, dear people, let me tell you this, Anna Mackey is the champion auctioneer of Melbourne. She studied to be a toe dancer, but she was tripped early in her career by Allan Beat. Later on he deserted his happy home for a Spanish Senorita. He always was strong for that Spanish stuff. Doc “For a little bit of real news, Bertha Haines has taken up woman suffrage and with Beatrice La Fleuer as her private secretary visited all the great republics of Europe, and she also helped Jessie Read to put a bill through Congress giving the women the right to propose. Neda “Well, it is about time.” Sid “The other day 1 was reading in the paper that Victor Creech has a cheese orchard in Tillamook with Vera Carlson as superintendent o all the little Creech cheeses.” Marion—“Say, you know that our class was noted for its professional actresses, well Lalja Lindgren is playing the little girl parts in Cncle Tom’s cabin for the benefit of the South Sea Islanders.” —29—
