The Gillalula Bird gives me a crushing look, then slowly says, I predict for her a life of single blessedness. Tough luck, says I, Lloyd Sharp-what's the idea of the two l's? You'll find him figuring in the XfVinter Garden as the 'Rag Time Kingf Earl Smith- now I suppose everybody will expect me to make some flippant remark about his peculiar alliance, but I'll fool 'em. Earl is going to be a Doc- tor of Medicine and sick people. Carl XVert-l1e'll be special salesman for the Tiger-Fat-Monntain-Daisy-and-Rattlesnake-Oil-Boon-to-Hu- manity Co. That's pretty poor comedy, too, but, doggone it, this job ain't no cinch !', 'fWell, old boy, you're about through now. If you'll dope out some- thing nice in the horoscope line for yours truly, we'll say good-night, I says to him ingratiatingly. Great Heavens. man V' he says to me in despair. G, O. K.. What'll ever happen to you? And if I did know, I'd keep it quiet out of regard for your relatives. The fact really is. I don't believe vou'll have much of a future. I reckon it will terminate about the day after this is published. I am afraid so, too. THE RAG-TIME QUARTETTE 125-

Hennecke-business manager of U. S. A., Incorporated. Elsie Izin-- let's see: she's that studious girl, isn't she? I am told that she shall have the Chair of Dead and Dying Languages in B. H. S. until she attains a marriageable age and then she'll depart like the rest of them. Vlfil- ham -Iessong he shall be employed at Harvard as Baseball and Basket- ball Coach. And Stanley jordan, he's that fiery-headed youthg it shall be his fate, after failing to gain the recognition of unappreciative puh- lishers of poetry and near-poetry, to retire to a suburban farm, raise Wfhite Leghorns and seek solace in the bosom of a loving family. julia Lea-as a famous Chautauqua entertainer does her future tend. George Martin. the chap you call Bunny, for him is spun a future of pharm- ing and philanthropy. Don Matthewg his future is rather a dubious one. I am told that he is to be a High Society Crook among the 400 of Limag he shall be notorious throughout the land for his cleverness and craft in stealing glances. Kathryn Meek is destined to a life of domes- tic felicity and usefulness. VX-'allace Miller-there's a fellow who will be some pumpkins in the musical worldg you'1l see his name on the electric lights, mark my word! Grace Neff-ah, future holds a place for her in the sphere of Jesse Wheeler VVilcox, Julia VVard Howe, and Fanny Crosby. Laura Neff-her usefulness to the world in the sphere of the schoolroom and the home shall be greatg one does not need pre- science to foretell that. A soft tongue turneth away wrath, therefore the Fates have wisely ordained that Herbert Neff a Methodist preacher D. D., shall be. Murray Plieiderer is next-gee! why don't they spell -it Flider? One would almost think from his name he was of German extraction. Say, he's a fellow that's hard to figure out, but it looks as if he will some day occupy the Chair of Physical Culture at Vassar. Grace Quaintance will go to war as a Red Cross nurse if there happens to be a war at the time. Carl Rehmg it shall be his privilege to some day wear the Cordon and Decoration of the Superbly Exalted Gloriously Grand High Jinx of the Deutsche Gesellschaft, which position he shall till in a modest and becoming manner. Then here's Leota Roopg say, do you know I can't do her justice? There's too many names here 5 my imagination is milked as dry as a 30-year-old cow. This business of handing out these near comic fortunes is all right about the hrst two or three laps, but when you get around to the R's it gets monotonous. You're doing finefy say I. Shut up! There you've gone and wasted another line. Leota Roop-well. here goes. l.et's see-I'll make heran Inter- national Spy, or a Vaudex-'ille'Star, I don't care which. Ah, here's chance to kill two birds with one stone. Lena and Bessie Ruth: we'll make them headliners on Beauty Bogan's Grand Musical Circuit, New York, London, Paris and Bucyrusg cable address 'Beanf A f'Mary Scott. XVe'll be'nice to her and ask the Fates to provide her with some good, dependable husband. R. F. D. Thelma Seeger- there's another hard nut to crack. Oh, she's already cracked, I blurt out.

Then we laid off meeting for several weeks, when we went out to Cat Heaven for a little doingsf' and had it after debating with a farmer on XVhy don't you stay at home and cook your stuff instead of burning up my rail fence ? Our next adventure was very altruistic in which we entertained the E. B, P. and faculty at the K. of P. Hall and set a record for late hours. In return, the B, P. entertained us at Cat Heaven to a fresh air lunch, after which there were some clever tricks performed with raw eggs.
