the girls were working in their
laboratories as we passed through.
The girls made very interested
audience for the demonstration
Many of them had never seen glass
blowing before.
Daddy made a condenser, which
he said is very necessary in any
chemical laboratory. Condensers are
expensive because they must always
be made by hand. Next. he made a
boiling flask, with a ground-glass
Joint, and showed the students how
glass can re joined to metal. Then
he made a Christmas tree bulb with
a little glass flower In the center.
He silvered it with solutions of silver
nitrate and sugar. When these
chemicals mix, they leave a deposit
on the inside Of the bulb.
Now. daddy told the girls. he would
make some little glass animals. He

running with his name flying in
the wind As each animal began to
take shape in the hot flame, the
girls looked more and more inter-
ested.
After the demonstration, the girls
had planned a wienie roast. I was
delighted when they asked me to
come. Daddy said I could go while
he did an errand at Catholic Uni
versity. This was great fun. even
though it had begun to rain and we
had to retire to the cafeteria.
A Spanish girl and I became great
friends. She took me around the
administration building. The rooms
were beautiful.
About this time, daddy called for
me and I had to say good-by to my
new friends. I would not have be-
lieved a girl my age could have SO
much fun with college girls.
