but I had no idea who the singer was to be. Soon however the curtain rose, the orchestra struck up a soft tune and out on the stage with. the old time, independent grace swept.Mary Nuttle. She sang a sweet southern melody which exactly suited her voice and carried us back to our opening exercises at Caroline High School when we sang with such feeling under the direction' of Mrs. Pippin. A Next in my dream came Roland. I His home is still in Hobbs. Having been the unsuccessful republican candidate for county treasurer, he returned to his native town and there became a prosperous lawyer. The people, recognizing his excellent executive ability, elected him first a member of the city council and afterwards mayor of Hobbs. ' I A . After this Ibecame restless. I seemed to feel approaching evil Suddenly I saw myself standing on Denton bridge. The night was cold and dark and I was apparently consumed with a desire to hurl myself into the dark waters below. Glancing cautiously from side to side I climbed upon the railing, closed my eyes and jumped. I could feel myself falling, falling My heart stood still. Woiild I never reach thewater? The suspense! was awful. Finally my body struck something, I awoke with a start and sat up, but it, was not the cool dark waves into which I had fallen. Instead I had slipped from the hammock and lay onthe hard ground beneath. We 1-asf Quiz x, -. . gil I 59-

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
