I have been visiting Isabel Prentice, who has just completed her new book on The Elevation and Developement of the Ilunian Mind. She is always so busy, almost too energetic for a maiden lady ot my un- certain years. You must have enjoyed your trip to Wash- - ington very much, especially your visit to the Senate. I do hope they pass that bill for the erection of the Art Museum. You asked in your letter it I knew what become ot' the various melnbers ot the Class ot 1912. I cithcr saw or heard of several of them while visiting in Batavia. One evening we went to hear the Rev. Lloyd B. Gale deliver a-masterful seimon on The Frivolities of Women? On the way out we nearly ran into a man who exclaimed, Bah Jove, I beg pardonft Imagine 1ny surprise in looking up to behold Ivan Dexter star- ing at us through his monocle. QYou know he has lately returned from Oxford, Englandj. Right back ot him was Lloyd Grinnel. I was simply amazed to see how meek and careworn he looked until I saw the severe looking woman who loomed forbiddingly in the background. One day I picked up an etlvition ol' the Times which is successfuily edited by Willis Broadbooks. One whole page was devoted to an advertise- ment which read, 'Tfonie early and receive a cup of our delicious 300 coffee, served by our demonstrator, Miss Florence MeElver, 'Nut Sed,' J. Burt Jones, Jr? Another advertisement read 'tMoving pictures at Dreamland, afternoon and evening, music furnished by Professor Herman Ehfvingf' On another page was a long paragraph describing the marriage o't.Thomas Uooper to a Cleveland girl, QI forget her nanieb. It seems so queer for you know 'llommy always said heid never marry. The column entitled the 'fSocial Whirl, announced that the Misses Dorothy Sherwin and Helen Parker would shortly return from abroad on the steamer Lawrence, their 'talready sweet voices having been travined to the cquisite perfection of the nightingale or larkf' There is always so much going on there for Batavia is doing itv still --that we always had a hard tvinie to decide to which place wetd go. I re- member one evening in particular when we eouldntt decide whether to go to thc dancing school conducted by Messrs. Clarence Green and Cack,' 'Rapp or to the performance given by Senors Billum Starch and Seaweed, World famous comedians. We 'finally decided in favor of the latter and were very glad 'For there we met Ward IrIaiumer. who with a beaniiug 4- -. ,,,

Trust only Good and Virtue When in your hour of need, And Fortune will reward you . If valiant is your deed. Go forward, O ye Seniors And do not dream of rest! 'Till you have done your duty, And Fame you have possessed. Be honest, true and loyal, And do not, O I pray, From the road thatis straight and Once ever go astray. Go forward, O ye Seniors, Stop not for friend or foe! But work and strive and labor That something you may show. And lastly, O ye Seniors . When you are worn and weary, Recall your dear class motto Esse quam videri. Il2i.I'I'0W-

.J-. countenance told us that he was celebrating the blm- nibbons which his pedigreed Bershires won him at the t'ounty l uir. Funny Brunton :md Elsie Marcus were there too. Fanny is teaching orntory, and Elsie, music in the public sehoolsp Cecil Constable is teaching Greek. lsn't it strange she has never marnied? l snixose it is because she i-an't decide which one to take. X Poor Wilfred Hemner. after he linished his course in George Washing- ton College he meant to try fora government position: but nthere is no place like home. so he still poses as the tallest man in ltnshyille. The other day I went to theiY. W. C. A.. of which institution Anna Bossart is now general secretary. for dinner. Pauline l'l'eii'er was tlu-re. She is justly famous :is the captain ol' the National Basketball League. Did you go to the game they played in your town last winter. Great wasn't it? Grace Hyde is coming to visit me next week. She is just back from China, where she went as missionary. Lola Hyde principal of a busi- ness school in Le Roy is trying, assisted by Mary Churchill. to induce some solid truths to stick in the heads of sundry refractory pupils. Emily Churchill, you doubtless know. is the wife of a prosperous farmer, she lives on the Byron road now. We ought to be thankful in these disturbing times to have at least some element battling against the Sutfragettes. Mildred Lowe, Lorena Cooper, Margaret and Laura Lawson, Ethel Tuttle and Florence Hunt with Evelyn Call, as chief instigator and orator, are touring the country as Anti- Suffragists, delivering lectures against smashing windows fas a general rulej and preaching that 'fWonian,s place is in the Home. Of course you knew Frances Stewart and Doris Hines had gone into partnership, conducting a shop for ladies fashionable attire. I found the prettiest hat in there. They are certainly right in style for they go to I'ris at least four times each year. The entire force is engaged just at present in designing and making Ruth Leflelds trosseau. Arerft you awfully interested sin politics this year. I am so anxious to know who will be nominated as governor, Horace Hussey or George Lawson. They have run each other down so much though lately that I have almost lost any respect or sympathy for either of them. Something like Taft and Roosevelt of a few years ago! The papers are just full of the awfnllest scandal. It-seems Langbridge Whitcombe invented a contrivance for rescuing olives out of the bottle and now Guy Patterson declares that Whitcombe infringed on his patent for the same artqiele and has brought suit against him with Harold Harris as lawyer, ' -' ' . all 'iilxgiyou know 5ny'r1nng'nmei about the members ot the class, just let Qiknow, for,I am thinking of writing a book on the famous achievements Q litwfiifttvthei Batavia I-Iiglgi Sdhool graduates.
