She fastened her beady bright eyes on her interlo-cutors' faces as they asked her, What does the future hold for our class ? 'The future will be pretty large to hold what I see in my infallible crystal, she said, after making a few passes at the thing, and muttering words that sounded strangely like, You'd better work this time, old crystal, or out you go ! I see a fog, but it's clearing. Ch, I see the floor in the SENATE. CIt needs sweepingj Um-and there's Dwight Shurtleff, the great Senator from Kansas. He's filibustering as usual but there's so much noise I can't tell what about. Then therels Bernard Keegan, the ex-actor, who is trying to get the floor. Albert Simka, the President of the Senate, has gone to sleep over his gavel. tHis neck will probably feel like the gavel went to sleep on him.j Ah, the ,scene has faded. . HI see a large banquet hall with a long table laid with the feast. One person only do I see--It's Stanley Whaler, President of the United States' Tall Story Club. It seems the other mem- bers dropped out when he became president. Too much com- petition! The scenes are coming quick and fast. Here's a large building, occupying five city blocks. It's Scotty Michaelson's School for Learning the Art of Leisure. It is packed with peo- le and poor 'Scotty is working so hard he has no time for prac. p A . ticing what he preaches. Incidentally, the building was de- signed by the eminent artist, Gene Clinchard, and has huge caria- tures designed of glass on the outer walls. 4'And now I see a theatre packed to capacity.

In the foyer, selling tickets and smartly smacking her gum fchewing gumj is Lois Sasso. Brilliant celebrities, announced by Donald Fero, pause to speak into the telemike. Among th-em We find Alma Symonds, famous writer, Mary Fitzpatrick, scientist, who discovered the uitchykootchief' a germ carried by the common flea, Bob Rathgaber, head of the United States Society for Prevention of Poor Grammar, and his co-professor Ed Roth, Dennis Gilbert, one of the star pupils at the School for Leisure, Walter Friday, a comely looking doctor from Johns Hopkins. Oh, there's Fr-ed Middleton. He's an usher, but heis al. ways being fired for dancing when the music for the show starts. And there's Tom Foley, the star's director.. Jean Cole- man, famous singer, is in the audience. Now I see the business room of a large magazine publish. ing corporation, owned and managed by Mildred Rayburn. She is seated in a room marked 'Private,' seeking inspiration. Her office staff include.s the efficient Fran-ces Maguire, who, by vir- tue of her position as the best director in th-e Little Theatre, is now the drama editor of the magazine, Edith Wickran, editor of the saccharine fiction department, Carol Boggs, who main. tains a department M-en, and How to Marry Wealth , and Eleanor Dennis, who manages the section of 'Family Problems from Budget to Baby! Down in Panama, I see a. modern, well-kept building called 'Ye Olde Modiste Shoppe? Within its luxurious interior I see Muriel King describing the latest in spun platinum gowns to a group of fashionably dressed ladies. Without much difficulty, I can see Peggy Horter, the well known figure in naval society, Sarita Castel, known for her dramatic interpretations of people Who've been in 'the tropics too long, Betty Phillips, illustrator and art editor of the Panama Journal, and Jean Morgan, in. structor of swimming at the world's largest open-air pool near Bella Vista. In another room I see typists doing a rushing business, and among them. I see Virginia Preston, the world's fastest typist, Verna Price, an interpreter as well as typist, and Mary Foley, another rapid typist, I That scene has faded, but now I see the roof of what ap. pears to be the same building. An. autogiro, the only kind of airplane now in existence, is warming up. CTher-e's been a spell of cool weatherq All dressed up in hissuit of woven glass is pilot Robert Duvall who carries the latest styles from Panama. the center of style fashions, to all points north, west, south, and
