	Trip to Europe with her son
	Gladys Chamberlain and her son Tom returned from England via the SS Homeric. This seems to be the return from the extended European stay that Marguerite Brenholts and Gladys Chamberlain had, with their children, following their divorces. It seems that Gladys and Tom left Italy and went to England, sailing from Southampton to New York two months after the Brenholts family had returned. Since Gladys married Mr. Gibbs shortly thereafter, and he was English, it seems that Gladys and Tom went to England to spend some time with him, prior to the marriage.

	bought a share in a gold mine
	Gladys purchased a share in a gold mine - Scales Placer Mining Company. In 2022, brief internet research seems to indicate that there is some land in California that is still owned by this company, but that has to be wrong. I mean, it has happened before that someone is wrong on the internet. Or maybe we're rich, perhaps some research is in order.
