Here Sue runs out of news, so 1 tell her what I know about tbe otbers. “Hetty Hardenbergh is a successful criminologist and invents poisonous gases as a hobby
and relaxation. Dot Madsen is tbe respected bead of a reputable law firm, and Sarah Lawton gives singing lessons at Hartridge. She insists that this genera­ tion’s vocal abilities are a great improvement over tbe la.st. Dot Li\])\])incott and
Jean Graham have entered into partnership and are selling patent medicines. Mary Alison won the long distance running championshi\]) of New Jersey this year, and was given a pass to ride anywhere on the Jersey Central Railroad throughout the following year.
“Connie Lesher is the surprise of us all. She married an overbearing Eng­ lishman who browbeats her frightfully, gives her barely enough for pin money, and does all the talking. Jane Ferris runs lunch wagons in Aiken, and they
have turned out to be tbe most fashionable institution there. Ethel Hoissevain flits gaily between I.ondon and Paris, and bas a string of race horses which carry
off all the honors at the Derby. Mollie Crane started an art colony in Plainfield, but unbap\])ily her publicity agent disgraced bimself— she is now in darkest Africa, getting away from it all. Dutcher has made the victory of the anti-lfi-ohibition
party a sure thing. She is living in Hoboken for tbe present. I have reverted to type and build bigger and better penitentiaries to rent to the state. And that is
what I came to see you about.”
