The Senior Year Book — 19.14 ering consulting this wise seeress as to whether the certain dark young man who has offered her his heart has a bank account as large as he professes his heart to be. Even in that case she may not accept him because Arlene Kellar, spinster, has almost persuaded her that no man’s heart is true. Westerly, R. I. Elsie Phillips, famous screen star, is spending the weekend in this town and during that period is staying at the select boarding house for single ladies kept by Marion Moshier. Accompanying Miss Phillips is her private secretary and companion, Maybelle Ingham. May Smith, reporter, interviewed the actress and the first installment of a biography will appear in The Sun on Monday evening. Binghamton, N. Y. Mr. Benjamin Turrisi, by his invention of a window shade that will not wear out, has aroused hard feelings between himself and the partners, George Andrews and Patsy Perri, who are engaged in selling window shades. Mr. Perri stated today that if Mr. Turrisi persists in making such inventions, he will ruin business and will eventually cause such a depression as has not been heard of since the one experienced way back in 1929. New Haven, Conn. Alex Kizeik, against the wishes of his family, has joined the circus, where he may perform his death defying stunts without possibility of opposition. He has tried to persuade Anthony Narciso to go with him, but as Mr. Narciso says, “Why should I join a circus and sing about life on the range when I can actually experience it working on Herbert Barnes’s ranch?” Westerly, R. I. Mr. Charles Bruno says: Progress means change. Change from Westerly Furniture Co. to Bruno’s Home of Modern Furnishings. We cannot fail to satisfy.” Hampton, Iowa. Full speed ahead! Today marks the start of the “Hundred Mile Walking Marathon,” Misses Marion and Rose Hoadley racing against time and Miss Laura Freitas. A good deal of speculation is being indulged in concerning the outcome. The question is: Have the Hoadleys an advantage in that two can walk faster than one, or will one impede the speed of the other?” Indianapolis, Indiana. Miss Margaret Drennan was recently engaged as model by Eileen Browning, fashion expert. Men are now hinting to their wives that they would not object to attending the fashion shows hereafter. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. “When in doubt go to Burdick’s Hat Shop.” If Mildred Burdick herself is not there, her assistant, Miss Virginia Panciera, will gladly show you the latest styles, whch, like the styles ten years ago, in 1934, are very tiny, cover only one ear, and, in short, are as unbecoming as possible. St. Louis, Mo. William Thompson announced his engagement in this evening’s paper, thereby publishing the fact that one more has submitted to life servitude. His friend, Tony Gradilone, who entered upon a similar venture a year ago, shakes his head and sighs pityingly when he passes the future bridgegroom. Toledo, Ohio. Mr. George Carson is advertising for a new chef, Charles Link, who formerly filled that position in his restaurant, having left his employ to work for Mr. Joseph Kaskewsky in the same capacity. Rumor has it that Mr. Kaskewsky offered more money. Besides that, he employs some very charming waitresses. Westerly, R. I. Miriam Willard has opened on High Street a dressmaking establishment which specializes in costumes for all occasions. One of her customers, a Mrs. Blank, formerly Mary Popiolek, recently purchased there an unusually attractive costume for her small son to wear to a party. Miss Willard also supplied outfits for Miss Ethel Wills and Miss Marguerite Simmons lor Friday’s professional women’s basketball game in which they established their fame. If any are interested in prices, they can find them in the Daily News, published by Miss Ethel Solo-veitzik. We know from authoritative sources that Miss Willard, in loyalty to her Alma Mater, will make special prices for any of her old classmates. And that, friends of the radio audience, concludes our broadcast until next year at this same time. Station W. H. S. of the Blue and White network signing off at exactly 9:30. Good night. —Marion Sullivan
