THE Rambler has become so dis
| tinguished as an expert on
ancestors that he gets many calls
| for help. 1t is rumored-only rumored
that several rich, but needy uni
verSitieS will confer on him the de-
|
master of family history. The
| Rambler's secretary finds it hard to
| keep down the stack of mail. When
| she gets to the office it is about time
to go to lunch, and after lunch there
are so many telephone discussions
about the program for the evening
amusements that she just has time to
go to the barber shop for hair cut
before quitting work. AS no woman
seems able to hold her head up in
society without talking about her
maid, no man can hope to have any
standing with his fellows unless he
has secretary, talks about his car,
and plays golf. 1 will pass over to
you the following letter from the
Rambler's old friend, DIR. j. n. Barney
| health officer of Fredericksburg, who
seeks news of a lost ancestor:
