Otherwise the day will follow pretty much a pattern of any other day.

"I'll read a little in the morning and again in the late afternoon, and after listening to the news and some music over the air in the evening I'll be off to bed to get rested up for the next day," she says. But ducking the "burning of midnight oil" is not one of Miss Ballard's suggestions for a busy and successful life and that she has had. "And of course" she says "in order to get all done that I wanted to. I had to study far into the night and I highly recommend that procedure for others, especially the young. There is something about the period between midnight and daybreak that creates a fine climate for the serious student." That Agnes Ballard" as her old friends call her) is a serious student there is no doubt.

Bom in Worcester, Mass. Sept. 14, 1877 she was graduated from Teacher's College in that city in 1905. She was partial to languages, and with a fine foundation of Latin, this up-and-doing New England-er learned to speak and to teach French, Spanish, German, Italian and Russian; and she was good at English too. Next her interest turned toward architecture and she sought out the best teacher to be had, Frank Lloyd Wright.

The fields of teaching and architecture overlapped after "Miss Agnes" came to Florida in 190G. She taught at Conniston High School and Palm Beach Elementary School. In between times she earned a B.A.

degree in education at Gainesville and traveled abroad on two occasions to study in England and Scotland, and on the continent. Books are her best love and bookshelves on the walls of her modest home on Hampton Road are well stocked. A few years ago Miss Ballard presented Palm Beach Junior College with an extensive library. Our one regret in talking to her was to hear her say she does not plan to renew her membership in the Animal Rescue League of the Palm Beaches. We hope she reconsiders, for one is never too old nor too incapacitated to contribute to this great cause.

And Agnes Ballard, after all, was for a very long time an editor of the league's magazine, "Four Paws." PEOPLE COME AND PEOPLE GO, and ever horizons widen. So it looked when we received Sylvia and Howard Chilton's itinerary for their trip around the world that starts today with a flight from New York to Rome. Sylvia, a paint and brush artist, and Howard, qualifying architecturally, will surely reap rich benefits from the sights they will see in Athens, Istanbul, Cairo, Bombay, New Delhi, Hong Kong and Tokyo. From that city of Japan these popular Palm Beachers will travel to remote villages with 25 other architects and their wives from the U.S. ARTIST OUIDA GEORGE and husband, Harold are back from their world tour that stopped short of Japan, and purposely so.

Ouida says, however, that she loves the Orient above all other places they have visited and that goodness knows is quite a few. Bangkok was her favorite place.

Thursday night the climate was right, and we certainly agree with Ta-Boo's music master, Marshall Grant, that Jim is a genial host. Marshall, incidentally, is trying out scores from London's glorious musical, "Pickwick" which a friend recently brought back to him after seeing and falling in love with the show. disabled veterans.
