love with Marion Stevens, a teacher of history in one of the exclusive girls’ schools outside of Paris. Frank O’Keefe teaches at the same school. He instructs the gills in the art of captivating male hearts. Frank is now happily married to Alma Mayer. As the evening wears on Frances becomes more enraged, and Dana becomes more and more devoted to Victoria. Just then Frances notices over at one of the tables a party which she recognizes as some of her old school triends. I hey are: Guy Alexander, now a strong advocate of the “Blue Laws; Esther Sternberg, his faithful little wife; Earl Peterson, a famous detective, known as the “Eye That Never Sleeps,” and Elois Bahpeman, a leading suffragette, noted all over the world for her stump speeches. Frances is delighted to see them, and obtains Earl’s promise to aid her in winning back Dana’s love. As she sits talking to the gay party they discuss their old friends of high school days. Frances learns that many changes have taken place since she left America. Gertrude Meissner has become quite a flapper. I ier folks are distressed, but Gertrude savs she never knew how much she was missing in her youth. 1 heodore Howalt, a rising young lawyer and Earl Davies, who is ojierating a new dance hall in Hudson. )ennie Golden too was mentioned as having put ujx n the market some new hair dyes. Rahleigh Dahl is in Hollywood, running a close second to Valentino. He has as his leading lady Alva Persons. Grace Benz, who was always ery capable along business lines, is his private secretary. Raleigh has employed Millard Anderson as his valet and Joseph See as his chauffeur. Peg Klein had a rather sad experience. She took up nursing, more for the handsome internes that she hoped to meet, than to help humanity. She met a handsome doctor and fell in love with him, only to learn that he was happily mar- ried to Helen Loughney. Utterly disgusted she joined Katherine O’Rourke do- ing mission work in China. Amid her new surroundings Peg soon forgot her troubles and created a great enthusiasm for her newly found work. I Olive Lyksett has become very successful as a writer. She has written several prominent novels of the day. Ward Cook, editor of the “New York Evening Sun,” has employed her to write editorials for his paper. Arthur .’right is comic artist for the same paper. Frank See is one of the leading chemists of the day. His discoveries and research work are the subject of universal admiration. William Coulter and Lawrence Peterson are his able assistants. Agnes Miller has achieved great fame of late. She was always one of Miss Linder’s speed typists, but recently she won the world’s typing record with a net of 250 words a minute. Kenneth Ostby is the wonder of the age. He ranks second only to Pader- ewski as a pianist. The whole world is captivated by the charms of his music. Elden Solsvig, a famous violinist, plays with Kenneth at all the leading social functions of New York City. Finally Frances decided to tell Earl about Dana and his gambling resorts. Just then a woman came rushing into the cafe, hurried to Dana and threw herse’f at his feet, begging him to come home for the sake of his family. It was Dana’s neglected wife. Victoria fainted. Frances turned to Joe with a sob in her voice and as he folded her to his manly breast, he said “All’s well that ends well.” Ruth hurried back to America to marry Sam before someone else beat her to him, and thus the members of the illustrious class of 1925 came into their own. —The Three Muses.
