Miss Macrae, seated before her desk, engrossed with the mem- ories of the said class, suddenly resolved to set forth on a journey to investi- gate the whys and wherefores of the individuals. With a wave of l1er hand she ascended and in a twinkling was floating leisurely above tl1e soft a11d feathery clouds. Over the edge of her rug she viewed tl1e panorama of American life, then the myriads of miniature vessels sailing over the blue seas and finally she sighted that great land of silks, perfumes, and mysteries-Arabia! On her descent into Mecca her rug developed a species of rheumatics and consequently she was forced to make a landiI1g in tl1e over-crowded fair grounds, where she learned that lValfred Salo was racing l1is thoroughbred ostriches. On all sides could be heard evidences of gambling. Apparently he and his ostriches were in great preference there. They greeted one another hilariously. In the course of tl1e conversation she learned of the misfortune which had be- fallen XVi1IfI'9d. He grievously related how Oscar had perished of thirst on the Sahara Desert and how he had been spending the past five years erecting a pyramid over the remains. Alas! She left him weeping bitterly. After aimlessly wandering around through the narrow streets she paused before a building flannting a gaudy sign which informed her that it was a. fashionable khan fhotelj. With a sigh of relief she entered and was most graciously received by Louis Anderson, garbed in an elaborate tunic. He was to all appearances doing well in this new line of endeavor. As she was ushered into a magnificent salon she was greeted by a blare of drums and trumpets. During pauses Louis was able to tell her that it was only Sharrard's Syncopat- ing Arabians playing the latest song hit Abdoolah composed by Tom Smith who was known in and about Mecca as Ed-llimiryat-Asof-and who had gained great distinction as a blues singer. She finally was allowed to depart after assuring them that she would re- turn in tl1e near future. But the carpet, still being out of 1-epair, made it neces- sary that she rankle along. As she sauntered through the streets her attention was attracted by a colorful display of turbans, Le llernier Uri in the Modiste Shoppe of Mlle. Bodner. And of course she could not resist the temptation of entering and investing her hard-earned pennies. I After a pleasant chat with Genevieve she inquired if there was any means of transportation in the city. 1 19 3 0 I II II II II II II II IE :lv Page 37

1 BELT BUCKLE I IEII IEII IDI IEIEZC' 'tOh, yes I replied Genevieve. We have here one of the most extraordinary taxi cab companies in the world. I'll call it.', Little did Miss Macrae know that tl1e owner of this Open Air Taxi Cab Uompany was Hen Hirano, or that the aforesaid 'cab was a camel which she was expected to ride. What a Sllilllle she had not taken the opportunity to learn to ride the camel before. Wurra! wurra! But ride sl1e must if she would reach the mosque at Om-el-Dinar. It was here that she had the great fortune of wit- nessing Imaun Sweat conduct morning services. tTwas a 111ost jolting ride to and from, but she survived. ' Excitement galore! A crowd was gathering-now, this was more diverting, she pushed forward and lo! who should it be but Ernest Jacobs, a snake char111- er, who was fascinating a cobra with the shrill music of his musette. 'tBlow me down W muttered Miss Macrae in surpriseft Ernie certainly was a whiz at charming snakes. But it was always known that he would make avsuccess in whatsoever he attempted. At this point of her adventure it began to rain. The abruptness of the storm reminded her of Montana but when a hand was laid on her arm to draw her into shelter sl1e merely said, 'tlt isn't raining rain to me, It's raining daf- fodils. She turned and found that the possessor of that hand was Freddie Remington, the owner of a prosperous tea room, where he sells on the average of 2000 cups of coffee per day fArabians preferring coffeej. She entered and saw Helen Polutnik reclining on a luxurious divan, surrounded by magnificent oriental rugs and rich velvet draperies. She was delighted in the prospect of a delightful tete-a-tete but in the midst of this an alarming shout of Robber!,I was heard. Everyone ducked! but Miss Macrae being unaware of the grave business at hand remained seated bravely awaiting further complications. The door burst open and a most amazing thing happened. The robber snatched her and carried her off on a fiery charger, brandishing a cimetar in the air. She drew aside in haughty grandeur and recognized that the sheik at her side was none other than lflino Kivi. t'Well, I swan was the only ejaculation Miss Macrae found at her command. liino was always such a dashing young man! ready to rush off on every escapade-but Miss Macrae persuaded him to con- duct her to the palace of Princess Bacraulbarder, otherwise known as Mayme Johnson. She proved to be a good leader as was predicted during her school days. She was dearly loved by all her subjects and the wonders of her kingdom were known far and wide. As entertainment for Miss Macrae she beckoned to a group of six girls who danced out from a hidden alcoveg The dancers were none but Ruth lVilson, Irene, Ruth Stuffel, Kathryn, Agnes and Irma.
