Harvey Moses is planning to take a month's holiday in Prance and Italy during April. That puissant banker has been elected secretary-treasurer of the Dartmouth Club of Western Massachusetts. The appointment was framed by a nominating committee of which Spencer Franklin ("Chain-Store") Smith was a member.
Rumor: that Don Sweet has abandoned the National Dairy Products Company* for what fields we cannot say.
Chad Chadbourne called on us on March 18, up from Jacksonville, Fla., where he lives and thrives as an insurance agent (or counselor), for an insurance meeting. This ancien Yermonter now sports as pretty a drawl as ever you've heard. He made a short visit to Hanover this trip. Chad has called on Bing Bingham and Tom Carpenter, fellow Floridians, who are likewise thriving under sunny skies.
Hardie Ferguson has left Chicago for business and residence in the more placid purlieus of Gotham. He is still in the business of vending paper to printers, now for Bulkley- Dunton Company, 75 Duane St., New York, and he (and wife and child) lives at 625 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry, N. Y. It has been years since Hardie has been seen in these parts, and he received the prodigal's welcome at our weekly luncheon downtown on March 24, when he shared honors with Will Faust Nicholson, who spent the merry month of March in New York on business.
Nick is now a member of Boettcher, Newton, and Company, Colorado Springs stockbrokers, who have a New York office at 30 Broad St. He and his wife now point with pride at Nick, Jr., aged 14 months and tall for his age. Their daughter Betty is two and a half years old. Nick is contemplating moving to New York, but that was still in abeyance at last reports.
The above-mentioned luncheon in honor of Messrs. Nicholson and Ferguson was also attended by Ping Miner, Had Pinney, Ced Porter, Dalton Brown, Art Norton, Larry Healy, and Bill Morrell.
Mr. and Mrs. Dalton Brown are now living at 1100 Ocean Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., Apt. 4-H. Brownie is still laboring on the construction of the downtown subway, as an engineer for Marcus and Company, contractors. He visited Hal Fraser in Peabody, Mass., this winter, and avers that Hal's particular chore around the leather company is as boss dyer.
Robert Clement Healy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry, born March 20, to his father's ineffable self-satisfaction.
Mary Ann Miner was born April 1 to Mr. and Mrs. Ping Miner, to the great satisfaction of parents and child.
Apparently Will Nicholson stopped in Chicago on his way home from his New York visit. Our information is from Modie Spiegel, who says that Nick and Booth Sherman visited of an evening at his house. They dashed off a letter to the Secretary to the effect that they were having a good time at the hour of writing, and were discussing among other things the now famous Twenty-second of May Speech in which one Horan nominated Booth for the office of best dressed man, in opposition to the shabbily dressed Taylor, and also nominated Joe Herren for Lochinvar. Prom the quality of the letter, we judge that Modie is a good host.
Booth Sherman is with the Chicago branch of Lee, Higginson, and Company, after getting his fern ranch in Florida on a gold basis. Modie Spiegel rejoices in the office of secretary-treasurer of Spiegel, May, Stern Company, Chicago.
Secretary, 40 West 9th St., New York
