filled with legionnaires about to
honor the singer. P. Skate got
her pay.

Still Friendly

!
The Resolute left New York
several weeks ago and, consider
ing the fact that she won't re-
turn until late in May, it's
remarkable when you gaze
upon the strides that have
already been mad. I see
about me such companionship
and good nature that I am
actually startled. Would you
believe it, my friends = half
the passengers are still talking
to each other!
I haven't met many of the
folks yet, but the few to whom
I've spoken seem frien dly
enough. A strange thing about
these super de luxe cruises is
when the voyage is young or
the passenger is new, every
body is decidedly nice. It's only
when the people get to know
and dislike each others habits
that the gossip starts and the
fur begins to fly.
At the start Of every long
voyage. cliques are Immediately
formed, The passengers seem
to fall into groups as a natural
development. Sadie Blintz has
q note to Mrs. Poopdeck from
q dressmaker who serves both
of them and dislikes them
equally well. Old George Brown,
from Danbury, Conn.,, has q
letter to old Frank White, from
Milwaukee, Wis, who was in
the hat business before he
went into real estate.
Reginald Van Astornertz, II,
wouldn't do much talking to
Henry Gotrocks, jr., in the or
dinary course Of events be-
cause Gotrock's father made
his money by honest means
and consequently couldn't get
very far in society. But since
they're on the boat together
and it's a long pull-well, Reggie
goes democratic and actually
dimes with Gotrocks the first
night the boat sails.
And so it goes on. For
awhile, everything is hotsy-
totsy. You leave them as sew.
eral happy families, turn up
again in a month-and what
do you find? q
Reginald and Sadie
Reginald Van Astornertz, Ill,
under the spell Of a beautiful
moon and too many cocktails,
has fallen in love with Sadie
Blintz. That makes Sadie give
Mrs. Poopdeck the ritz-and
Mrs. Poopdeck, highly insulted,
tells the rest Of the passengers
all the secrets that Sadie ur-
folded to her during the first
few days Of their beautiful
friendship.
Young GotrockS is exceeding
~ peeved at Van AStornertz be-
cause he had his eye on Sadie
Blintz in the first place.
Old George Brown and old
Frank White aren't talking any
longer, either. After the first
regular meeting of the Rotary
members aboard ship, old
George and old Frank ad-
journed to the bar for a few
beers. After the eighth or
ninth glass, old Frank said he
never knew a single man in
the hat business who was a
regular fellow at heart.
That suddenly opened old
Georges eyes to the fact that
old Frank wasn't the friend he
had thought he was. He
promptly came back with the
crack that most of the mugs
he had known in the real es-
tate business had always been
a little crooked. And the first
thing you knew, it took the
bartender and two stewards to
keep them apart.
The voyage continues. The
gossip flies. New cliques form
and some Of the old cliques re-
form. And as the boat nears
the home port again, pretty
nearly everything is forgiven
by everyone. Sadie Blintz and
Mrs. Poopdeck get to talking
about the new dresses they will

During the great wave Of immigra-
ton to this country there were found

In the New England States they were
represented by Thomas, who was the
son of John Oliver and the grandson
Of Thomas Of Bristol. England. Thomas
settled in Boston. where he was one of
the founders of the first church.
Then there were Thomas Oliver Of
Fairfield, Conn. Joseph of Scarborough,

There we're also divers who settled
in the Southern States, who have writ
ten their name indelibly into the history
of the South. This short sketch will not
