THE 3oRCH CLASS PROPHECY “Just Imagine” A WIND storm caused it all. Yesterday was one of those typical March days that claim as their victims all persons who insist on wearing hats. Hats of every size and shape were JL flying through the air, with their owners in mad pursuit. I was on the point of entering the subway at Broad and High Streets, when something arrested my vision. It was a man, desper' ately chasing a departing hat. There was something familiar in that sprinting step. Could it be—? Only time would tell. The hat, which this man was apparently pursuing, was directly in my path. I stooped hastily and picked it up, just as its owner came puffing up. “Well, if it isn’t—!” we exploded spontaneously. My “hunch” had been right, for none other than my old classmate, Bill Roberts, stood be' fore me. I grabbed his arm, elbowed through the throng of pedestrians, and in three shakes of a lamb's tail, we were sitting at a little tea table by a fireside, munching sandwiches and supping chocolate. A “gab fest” was in order. “What an interesting little place this tea shop is!” began Bill. “Know who runs it? “I do,” I replied, modestly blushing. “I call it ‘Peggy’s Pancake Shop. We specialize in pancakes.” “Well, well, now isn’t that fine! I recall your early diatetic ambitions. ’ (This from Bill, the big business man, slightly condescending). “Now, now,” I interrupted, my womanly intuition coming to the front, “let's talk about you. Why it's been almost ten years since we’ve seen each other. I heard that you were in England with the Western Electric Company. Were you, really?” “Quite so, quite so!” answered Bill. “I'm the chief engineer at the London office. Jim Benedict has a similar job in New York. I’m just home now on a short visit. Bully old place, England. By the by, note the frock worn by the lady at the next table. Charming, isn’t it? She looks vaguely familiar.” “She should! That’s Betty Newburger,” said I. “She is singing in opera now. The dress she is wearing certainly looks like a “Mellman” frock, made by the famous dress designer, Zelda Mellman.” “Oh, I say! That reminds me. I met Jim Patton coming home on the Transatlantic Air Line,” Bill put in. “He’s the foreign agent for the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Travels a lot. Told me he dined in Shanghai, China, at the Roger Edmiston Hotel with Marshall Dasher, who is a missionary there, and when he stopped in the Philippines, he visited one of the schools and found Ruth Waddell, Letha Stevens, and Virginia Michael all teaching there. He ran into Doris Howland when he stopped in Brazil, where she is the American Consul.” “What news! Oh look, coming in the door, over there. That’s the president of the Hunt' ington National Bank and his wife.” “Alias Hugh Bone and the former Miss Barbara Shumaker. Am I right?” questioned Bill. “How perfectly charming! Haven’t changed a bit. My young sister attended Columbia last year and had ‘Barb’ as a math teacher. She liked her jolly well. To change the subject, I’ve been noticing the dog prints on the walls. Remarkable work!” “They are,” I enthusiastically answered. “They were done by Elinor Shultz. Jean San' ford did the portrait over the fireplace. My own little terrier, ‘Skippy,’ posed for the sketch to the left of the door. ‘Skippy’ had colic last week, so I rushed him to the nearest veterinary hos' pital, and Dr. Robert Knies took care of him.” “Interesting, indeed. Could you tell me who decorated these windows and walls? The colors are perfect.” “Jane Reed did them,” I explained. “Her decorating work is splendid. She has a studio in collaboration with Evelyn Petzinger, who draws all the Campbell’s Soup advertisements.” By this time, all the sandwiches and chocolate had disappeared. We rose to go. Bill, eager to examine completely the changes time had made in Columbus since his absence, voted for a stroll of inspection up High Street. Leisurely we walked along, glancing up intermittently at the skyscrapers that loomed on all sides. On a second floor window of one building we read the sign, “Marsh, Sharpe, and Hays, Law Offices.” “Bertha Schiefer is their private secretary,” I informed Bill. “Best lawyers in town.” We paused for a moment in front of a book store. “Lynas” was the name on the plate glass show windows. “Not Eleanor of the auburn hair?” inquired Bill. “None other,” I answered. “Let’s go in.” In we went, but Eleanor had left for the day. Unable to resist the display of books around us, we indulged in a literary feast. “Look,” I exclaimed. “This novel is by Dorothy Sculler. It has the Pulitzer Prize cover on it!”
