 There Is a gentleman in the waiting room to see you sir"
 Whats his name?"
 He gave no name. but l think he's a book agent, sir"
 Well, I'll sec him for a minute, but only a minute." (Pause)
 Why Charles Dehm. Where did you come from? Sit right down. I surely didn't expect to see you!"
 "Oh well, I've been travelling for the MacMillan Co. for some time now. I didn't know I would find your name on the door of this of flee either. The minute l saw you I knew 1t was the same Bob Christ that was in high school witll me. You haven't changed a bit" Doesn't seem as if it were 20 years since we were in school, does it?"
 Ut surely doesn't. 1 haven't seen many of the fellows and girls, have your"
 Well, you remember Florence Fredell? I'm selling her latest book. It's a biography of our former principal. Mir. Slade. You knew, of course, that the wealthy New York woman who inst built such a bcauti- full prep school for boys up in Long Meadows had chosen him for head master. He surely will make a fine one; he was always so kind to all of us. And the book is illustrated with sketches by Rea Zimmerman. who also used to be in our class. Say! What do you suppose Eloise Diemand is doing? She and Howard Belser are doing a song and dance act on Keith's First Circuit. I saw them just a while ago, so after the show went back stage to talk with them while. It seems Mary Staigis and Doug Norton are Ruth St, Denis and Ted Shawn's places. And Flora Hine is playing Shakespearean roles. Don't you remember how clever she was at that sort of thing"
 Well, Mildred Quigley was up here at school last year recitinG plays. She gave Drinkwater's Abra- ham Lincoln very cleverly. Oh! I met Constance Carrier on Fifth avenue last month.

Let me see now, what else she told me yes! Mary Wolff has been divorced twice and is rumored to be practically engaged again, She was quite attractive anyway. don't blame anyone for falling for her, do you? But say. do you know what Harry Martin is doin?"
 "Oh yes,s He's leader and violin soloist of the best and most popu- lar dance orchestra in Chicago. l think Erland Nilsson is playing the saxophone in the same orchestra. l shouldn't have thought the fellow had it in him, but understand he's quite the idol of the dancers.
