the fall. Betty has been in an architect's
office in Chicago and Helen has been
teaching in Detroit. June Davis Thisted
(Ex. '28), has found herself busy taking
care of little Marylin. M a r y Howlett
Barrett ('23), has been in t o w n all sum-
mer. Doris Bessinger H o w l e t t ('25),
spent one week at Gregory and Pine
Lake. I n October she and Frank expect
to go to New Y o r k f o r more vacation.
I wish I could tell you how all the babies
have grown and how dear they really
are. I ' d like to describe each one to you,
but the editor would rebuke me for tak-
ing too much space. Y o u ' l l have to visit
here for yourself and see Frank H o w l e t t ,
Jr., Barbara Burridge, Jane Dieterle,
Shirley Harding and Marylin Thisted.
This morning I learned that Doris and
Frank Howlett are moving into a duplex
which is not so far f r o m us. Buying
furniture and moving has kept Doris
busy for several weeks. B y chance I
learned that M a r y Carr Ruble has turned
her visit home to a permanent residence
and she and B i l l have decided to live in
Charlotte for a time with future plans
pointing toward Detroit.
Dorothy N i x Hauf (Ex. '26), has been
enjoying the winter in B r o o k l y n . She
and Haufie planned to spend their vaca-
tion in Utica, New York. They lived
in the same apartment building w i t h Sue
Storke Scott (Ex. '28), u n t i l Sue decided
that i t would be better f o r little Philip
to be in the wide open spaces. Early
in the spring the Scotts moved to Darien,
Connecticut. Dorothy wrote me about
the spaciousness of their home. Philip
Sr., has been assigned to a church and
christened his little son at the first cere-
mony at which he presided.
Doris Kent Fish ('26), has been in
New Y o r k all winter. She and Homer
were to be in Ohio all summer. There
they were to be interested in playground
work. Fall would probably see them in
New York again.
While driving through Niagara Falls
Irene saw L o r r y Price Howell ('24), and
her little girl. Lorry looks much the
same and happy as ever. Harold's busi-
ness takes him out of t o w n quite often.
They had just returned from their vaca-
tion.
Marian Van T y u l ('27), spent some
time in Ann Arbor and most of the sum-
mer at one of the northern lakes. Jose-
phine Norton ('28), does not plan to
return to Blissfield to teach, and some
one said that she may be placed at W y a n - L
dotte. With Mary Lawton's ('28), return v
to Wyandotte that will make two of the p
girls still nearer to us. M a r y has been R
home at Traverse City, and the rest has
been wonderful f o r her. Ruth McBryde il
Hall ('27), and A l took several weeks' va- b
cation at the lake. Ruth plans to continue p
her library work in the fall. Jane M c - s
Bryde ('28), has been kept busy w i t h
her social work all summer. Dorothea n
Comfort returned to the city much rested h
after ten weeks at the Comfort summer
home at Lake George. She w i l l be teach- a
ing at Eastern High School again. b
A
Winifred Sample ('26), has been one n
of the busiest girls of the Detroit group. t
She worked at the Teachers' College L i - i •
brary for the first six weeks of the sum-
mer. As soon as that was over she a
s|>ent t w o weeks at the lake w i t h her n
family. Then a short trip to Niagara-
and the thrill of Alice's wedding took? w
up several weeks. As soon as that event!
was over, she took a trip to visit some a
relatives in Canada. a
Ruth Sargeant Harding ('20), has been D
in the city all summer as D r . Harding
has not been well. Late in August Dr. I
Harding was operated upon and with J
splendid success. They hope to take i
short trip early in the fall. ao
Everyone w i l l be sorry to read that m
Bea Bunting Scott ('20), gave birth tqj w
twins, and both of them did not live. G
Bea was quite i l l , but has improved,
rapidly and is feeling much more like
the old Bea. She spent most of t h j
summer at Riverview, a resort just oufj
of Binghamton.
While I was in Rochester visiting with
Joanna Donlon Huntington, I had a long
visit w i t h Abigal Roberts ('23), as s h |
drove me all around the town. Abigal
enjoys her w o r k in Rochester and has a
wonderful time with her many friends.
Shortly after I arrived home, Joannjtj
wrote me that Abigal's sister had died.
We extend our sympathy to the family. J
Frances N o r t o n ('26), has had a restful*
summer dividing_her time between home,
Lake Orion, Howell, and Saginaw. MaT^
