lirramna All's Well that Ends Well T WAS a warm, languid day in July. Ilay in the hammock - drowsily watching some chil- dren blow bubbles. The bub- bles floated high into the air. Their azure blue of the sky emphasized through their transparent vari-col-- ored lights and shades. It gave one a sense of leisurely comfort to idly lie there thinking just a little and now and then smiling at some merry prank of a youngster. But gradually their merry shouts became fewer and fainter and as one exceptionally large bubble Hoated over my head it seemed to pause. Im- mediately a tiny pink and blue door opened. There was a tiny pair of misty stairs and out tripped a dimin- utive fairy. Such a tiny little thing! All glittering insilver and rose, with a pair of gauzy wings. I lay there entranced and presently I heard a voice like the tinkle of a bell, say, Would you like to look into the fu- ture? If so, mortal, come float with me. The fact that I couldn't, never entered my mind for as naturally as day I seemed to float beside her, and as we flew over mountain and valley she said, You are of the East Liver- pool High School, aren't you? And of the class of 1917 ? I nodded as- sent and she continued. I am going to take you to the Hall of Fame in the Land of Bubbles, where you may look through the Futurists' Bubble and see the futures of your class- mates. Naturally I was much excited and very soon we arrived at the Hall of Fame. It was a massive air castle, tinted in those same ethereal colors. The doors opened by magic and in- side were hundreds of little fairies and elves who bowed instantly at my fairy guide's approach. We were in the Hall of Fame of Bubbleland! What a wonderful place it was! There were many halls, each a dif- ferent shade. Along the walls were many lovely life-like photographs ol' famous people. Imagine my joy when I saw, occupying the place of honor our ever faithful principal, Miss Flo! And in the violet tinted hall we passed many other familiar faces among them President Wilson, F. H. Warren, Billy Sunday and Pro- fessor H. F. Laughlin. At last we reached the observa-- atory. It was made entirely of bub- bles, a large one for the floor and walls, and then several thousand bub- bles graduating in size until they reached a dizzy height. The whole place was filled with flowers and birds, the song of running water, and fairy's floating. In one corner stood the bubble enclosed in a mass of ever blooming flowers. How lovely and perfect! I was overwhelmed by all the beauty and almost forgot what I had come to see. We stepped up closer and after much urging on the part of my fairy I looked into the bubble. It seemed to be full of smaller bubbles, the fairy said there were exactly eighty of them. A large sign in flowers hang- ing above the bubble had 1917 on it. But as I gazed into these little bub- bles they took on forms of houses, streets, trains, machines, and people. And as I peered closer I sawour fa- mous class president, George Kidder, intelligently expounding in the halls of Congress as a learned Senator! His hair was now gray but he still had those gestures and air of distinc- tion which made him so famous in our school meetings. Eagerly listen- ing to him were our old friends, Messrs. Kelly, Paul Reaney, Meanor, Swan, Bloor, Wilkinson, Vorndran, all prominent men in Congress. But they were not nearly so im-- portant as the ladies had become. For there as Speaker of the House was Mildred Taylor, and among the members were Misses Debolt. Boring, Crawford, Jolly, O'Hanlon, Gill, and
