about Mrs. Goodgold, Mary Jane? She told a friend of mine that she had never before had such an efficient and agreeable companion." "Thanks. I was reading to her the other evening from a collection of your poems. She is so fond of them." "Yes, they are splendid," said Ellen. "One evening Tubby and I read far into the night. We had just returned from a journey to the suffering people in the interior of India. It was so refreshing to read your poems of the wide-open spaces." "The minister at the Mission told us, Vernelda, that you had passed through that settlement a year ago, but that you were now in Yokohama," said Tubby. "Yes, Mary Mehring and I are working with the Japanese. You are quite fortunate in having Kathryn Hatton so near you, Katherine." "Ask her about her Earl," responded Katherine. "She' is leading a lively English life!" "By the way, 'Devil,' what were you doing at Monte Carlo?" cut in Trice. "Oh, just taking a look at the place. I'm reporting for the National Geo- graphic Magazine and they wanted a writeup, Now, what are you doing?" "Tve got a message for you first, I was down in Italy last week and met Miriam Jones, She is private secretary and interpreter traveling with a company of United States officials. She sends her best wishes and is sorry that she can't be here. And now I'm going to tell you about Bill Sterling. She's still in Honolulu, Head of the schools on the Island. How 'bout it, Bill?" "That's an right, Tom. How 'bout the girl who played with you in mixed doubles at Rouen? You are surely following in Tilden's steps. And Ritchie right along with you as your manager. I'm for yOJ two! Now ask Chalky what he is doing for humanity." "Oh, I've got a job, I have. I'm director of the Radio Film Company. We broadcast everyone of our pictures. Ask our fine archreologist here." "Great stuff," said Taylor. "One night down on the Nile, my company and I set up our radio. The first thing that we picked up was 'It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo'-a comedy. And we were almost perishing for rain." "Haven't heard from you, Lelia. Understand that you are Girl Scout Execu- tive in England." "Yes, I'm here for four years." And so, far into the night the gay chatter continued. Finally it was sug' gested that, as there were to be ten days of this happy reunion, the party should disband for the night. So gathered together in England, the class of 1925 sang out softly; "We'll stick by each other through thick and thin, Though our college days be o'er." [128]
