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—
