fookie— Good for her. And Jean Babcock, do you know anything about her ?
Trudie— Why yes. She is running a Juvenile Detention Home. Experience she got as president of the Academic, I guess; and the other Jean is selling patent medicines.
Tookie— You know, I had a funny experience the other day. I went to a vaudeville show, and to my surprise, Maxine Clarke and Alary Barlow came on doing a sister act. They were good, too. And the funny part is,
that after the show I went to Child’s for something to eat, and whom should I have to wait on me but Flora Hagan !
Trudie— Well, well! And good old Ruthie, what’s she doing?
Tookie— I heard that she was more or less managing Helen’s campaign— a treasurer, you know, and that Wilcox was discovered to have a voice with personality, and has made a fortune singing in the talkies.
Trudie— Do you know. Coot Keller is calling trains in the Pennsylvania Station? Isn’t it funny?
Doesn’t 1929 seem long ago? Who would have ever believed then that we would be so scattered?
At this point, the plane Hies into an air pocket, and all con\'ersation is suspended during the drop. Meanwhile the curtain falls.
