Now here’s a distinguished looking person— Phyllis Barlow—Dean of Women at the U. of M. Minnie Horton—a farmer’s life for you, and Janet Bauman, it seems you turned uot to be a seamstress.” Again the Swami stopped to remove his turban as before and remained at ease for a moment. Sighing, he continued: Bud Backus, here you are a politician running for the Mayor of Podunk. Joyce Bower, this looks like fun, you have become head hostess at the Stage Door Canteen. Don Brayton, I see you on a desert island and what are you doing? Hmm. Selling shade.

Who’s this giggling gal? Frannie Van Allen—you have given your life to gardening and the study of insects. And here’s Cobby Bobby, otherwise know'n as class crud, now a drummer with Spike Jones band. Donna Cannon a peculiar odor arises as I see you are manufacturing Cannon’s Cure-Colds Camphor Capsules, and here are tw'o people together—Virginia Cassady and Lucille Peckham, each of you own one-half interest in Peckham and Cassady’s Beauty Shoppe. Kenneth Thomas. A bench I see. A park bench? No. You are a judge on the Supreme Court Bench. Beverly Smith”—here the Swami looked again as if he didn’t believe w'hat he saw— Beverly, you are a criminal lawyer in Chicago. Jean Livingston, valentines I see. You are writing verses for a valentine company. Chuck Hall, well, you are plaving cornet in your own band. Elton Crawford, wouldn’t you know, you are a barber with butch cuts a specialty. Dale Hubbs 1, 2, 3, and you’re out—at the old Ball Game— Dale you are star pitcher for the New York Yankees. Ginny Silverthorne, ahhh! you are a lovely John Powers model. Luana Fuller, you are a dress designer in New IYork City and Geraldine Wolverton, you are managing Madame De Wolverton’s Success Course.

Priscilla Barnes, you are teaching piano to young hopefuls. Virginia Petersen, I see you running an advertising agenc), and here again 1 see double—Leone Snyder and Ruth Hansen, you are perfecting Snyder and Hansen’s bristle-less tooth brushes, and last—Eddie Getzen—shall I be tactfui or truthful? Well, 1 see you Getzen, sitting in a padded cell in Kalamazoo cutting out paper dolls.” As if this last prophecy were too much, the crystal ball suddenly shattered into a million pieces and no one could evermore behold therein these marvelous visions. The Swami removed his turban, mopped his brow, and the last we saw of him he was picking up the pieces. [ 17]
