One day while shopping I saw a wonderful hat in a shop window and upon entering the shop was pleasantly waited upon by a demure little lady whom I discovered to be Fern Hooker.
She and Marie Carley owned this store; she managed the millinery department and Marie designed all the dresses.
They were making a great deal of money as they knew just what the rich Americans wanted and both looked and acted enough like French "madames" to deceive even a Frenchman.
When I returned to New York I noticed a huge sign on Broadway. "Big Basketball Game, World Championship Series." The newspapers gave a list of the players and Stanley Dye was captain and center of one of the teams and a star at long shots at the basket just as he was at old 'Donia. His team had not been defeated in two years.
After all this traveling I found myself anxious to get back to my work as a nurse in the Sun Set Hospital and upon my return to Chicago I learned that the new Hospital built by Dr. Ray C. Hall in that city was in need of a superintendent and decided to apply for the position the next day --- then I woke up.
