By Helen Brooks J. Narinova Sohnizzlewitski, crystal-gazer extraordinary, am Hitting Iwfore my crystal hall. Sadly I depore the state of business when I see a little crowd of women come hurrying up the walk. Ah, I think, the Woman’s Auxiliary, hut I am wrong. They tell me that ilii .v in the mothers of the members of the Class of '35, Seniors of the Wm. -inlth High School. They desire to know what their darling cliee-ildreu will be ten years hence • • . First I tell them that I see a very luxurious salon where on a little lighted stage, maniquins keep turning and turning. To one side I see an extremely smart woman standing beside a very snooty fat lady. Yes, it is Madame Uhoda Jeanconne, the most fashionable modiste in New York. The scene changes »■ • • There is now lw'fore me a small waffle shop. The proprietress, one Nellie Dillon, keeps dexterously flipping an egg into the air. The door opens, and In comes • ah, yes—Bill Thompson, the famous auctioneer, who orders waffles. Now I see a barber, shop in the same metropolis, Aurora—and by the •hair lands a blonde, curly-haired barber. It is Bill Sweeney. Again the scene changes. I see a great circus tent. The rain is drizzling down upon it. but despite this Bill Watkins in high silk hat begs a few stragglers to see the oddest freaks on earth. At a nearby stand Alice Rock watches over some soggy hot tamalaes. The rain drearily falls on them and they sizzle, but ever and anon she lifts up her voice to cry out weakly, “Hot tamales! Il-ot to-a-amales!” Ah, now we have a welcome change. Before a select group a teacher, Ethel .Mullins, lectures on that important thing, charm. There is before me now a wide street crowded with hurrying traffic where, directing the confusion, stands Clarence Walker, the lordly traffic cop. In a moment I see in my crystal ball a small fellow l nf studiously over a large dictionary. He is John Wood, U. S. Amateur of the National Orthographical Society. Next appears a noisy lighter! rink. Joyce Kloppel, a champion roller-skater on all fours, is speeding around with her skates on hands and feet. I see Lois Biles walk briskly up to the door of a home. She knocks, the door opens, and she begins to sell the unlucky housewife an insurance policy. And who should the housewife be but Freda Ilaltiner—Haltiner Smith, who has three sets of twins and four singles. The picture fades. Here is a new picture, a desk littered with papers. On one side is a sign which reads, “Margaret Barker—Fashion Editor, The Denver I’ost.” Again we are back in the great city of Aurora. 1 see the public schools, and in the official chair sits Allen Hicks. In another part of the building, I observe the Ping-Pong coach giving his daily lecture to the bored students. It is Lloyd Ferguson. On the corner of Fulton and (’o)fax I gaze upon a woman orator. She flings her arms into the air and shouts, “Down with the men!” I know !t is Mary Katherine Gordon. From a private office on (he same corner bursts a man wildly tearing Ms hair. Evidently he violently objects to the noise, for he, Melvin ('liambers, is the first graduate c Aurora to become an Ornithpathprocon-outiopodist. As this is the last one, the women rise, reluctantly pay the piper, and leave mo to the evening shadows. $« » ,
