I congratulated her on her success as a teacher and left the building. As I was going down the street a newsboy' passed me yelling Extra! Extra! all about the war, former Marylander made president H I bought a paper and quickly scanned the head linesg they read, 'Insurgents victorious. A F. Sisk, head of Revolutionists, made President. I Reading further down, I found that our old friend Fletcher had gone down to accept a government position in Venezuela. By his wonderful oratorical powers and personal magnetism he had gained influence over those South Americans. who desired 'novac res'. A revolution having broken out and Fletcher being pressed to take the lead, accepted. III-Ierein, experience in managing the C. H.

Barely had I recovered myself from this shock, when glancing at another col- umn I beheld these rather startling words, Brave work of Red-Cross Society, M1ss Moore a Second Flore11ce Nightingalef' Knowing that Lida had volunteered in the Red-Cross Society I immediately became interested. I found that she had gone with a corps of nurses to Venezuela and by her excellent attention and kindness of heart she had won the admiration and esteem of all her superiors as well as that ofthe sick and wounded I was happy to see that she was fuhilling her life s purpose The paper also stated that it was rumored that as the last President of the society had recently resigned M1ss Moore was to be a ca11d1date for that position I turned over in my hammock and so did the scene 11115 time I was seated in a cool and tidy dairy Over a pan of cream bent Minnie her excellent butter and cheese had become known in all the country around and in the dairy door stood a sturdy young farmer who had paused a moment in his worlf to watch YVllZl'1 an admir ing eye the deft fingers of his wife as she made out tl1e moulds of butter I drank some of the delicious mllk which Minnie offered 1ne a11d asked if she had heard any thing from Mary Hopkins since we left school She told me that the last time she had seen Mary she said she was going to Chicago in a few months to take a position as German teacher in a private institution for young ladies I felt sure that Mary had fulfilled the promise of her youth and become a great German scholar As Min nie had attended her sewing circle the day before she also told me that she had heard that Elizabeth was now teaching the blind in a school in Philadelphia and all the students and her fellow teachers were devoted to her on account of her gentle patience and sweetness of disposition 57

Prophecy O5 Q QD N ONE of those su11sh111y balmy days 111 May which give you X that drowsy dreamy feellllg commonly called spring fever I threw myself 111to a hammock and lazily set it to swinging Soothed by the easy motion and the irresistible influence of ffl lj the spring air I fell asleep I had been thinking of the Q9 Y N fhybkg, past year at school Which was drawing rapidly to a close Nw! and Wondering what would become of all our class after we A had been graduated I' he members of the class were still in my mind when I began my nap which I suppose accounts i11 some way for the dream I had -a y I thought I stood in Paris but in a part which was entirely unfamiliar to me Well dressed women and long haired artists sauntered ga1ly along Nearly every 0116 seemed to be going in the same direction so I drifted with thelcrowd' and presently entered a large beautifully furnished studio It was crowded with artists critics and fashionable women the walls were covered with paintings and sketches. which everyone was examining with great 1nterest I looked around for the proprietor of the studio who evidently had acquired much fame and popularity-with open mouthed astonishment I perceived presldlng over one of the tea tables Mary Hicks and at the other end of the room was Gr9.Ce blushing with her usual vigor as she received the well deserved praise of the critics I started forward to speak to them but the vision faded from my eyes and I found myself seated at my old place at C H S This time however I was a visitor and not a student Ilooked toward the teacher s desk and instead of a stern, masculine frown like the one before which we were accustomed to bow in our high school days1I saw a sweet feminine-smile by which the teacher helped her pupil over the stony translation of Latin-at-sight. It was our class-mate Nellie who told me that having completed the normal school course, she had taught as assistant in various schools of the county until the principal- ship of the Caroline High School had been offered her, which she had gladly accepted. 56 .

My dreams carried me rapidly from the presence of one old school mate to that of another. Now I was in the Halls of Congress. jOur Senator from Maryland Was speaking and the eloquence of his words held all enthralled. I heard a Woman back of me whisper, Isn't Senator Lex Smith just simply great, and he is so young too ? Another answered, yes, he is just fine, he infatuated. all the girls in his class. His career has certainly been brilliant, you know he entered politics as soon as he left school and has risen from one oiiice to another until last winter he was elected Sena- tor. They say that his wife is very unhappy, he is so wrapped up in politics and in such demand as a speaker that he is never at homef, -Thinking that I knew the woman's voice, I turned as she .finished speaking and recognized Mabel Wilson. She seemed delighed to see me and told me that she had been in Washington for several years and was now at the head of a large millin- ery establishment in the most fashionable business part of the town. Knowing Mabel's old fondness for hats I felt certain she had found her true vocation though I was afraid she spent most of the time trying on the models. . Before I left the city I visited the various offices and departments of interest. As I was making my way through the pension office I was attracted to a familiar fig- ure sitting at one of the desks Upon closer inspection it proved to be Sallie, earnestly at work. According to the length of our pension lists, I thought the work to be done in that office by all must be stupendous. Sallie at least was so busy that I did not disturb her, but continued my journey through the building. , Once again the scene was changed, and I seemed to be in Boston and was attending a literary tea given by my old friend, Helen Victoria, to her associate lit- erary critics and most intimate friends among -the popular authors and poets of the day. She was as witty and clever as ever Her first work of criticising, that of our class, opened up to her a new field of labor which she accepted right joyfullyg for in this way she could make use of many of her sarcastic expressions. After a few min- utes conversation Helen turned to greet some new corners and I, left to myself, let my eyes wander around the room and they were suddenly arrested by the form of a very tall young gentleman on the other side ofthe room whose appearance seemed some- what familiar. I was delighted to see my former classmate, Reese Peters Fullerton, and was still more delighted when, later in the afternoon, he read one of his latest poems. It was full of his usual humor and vivacity and every one pronounced it the most clever of his productions. - Before my departure Helen proposed a box party for that evening in my honor and said she had a great surprise in store for me. The Opera House was crowded , 58 I
