TALE ORACIE: 23 flicting emotions, and at the moment of sailing for the Orient you will rush down the gang-plank, crying: “When love and duty clash, Let duty go to smash.” LILLIAN SNopGrass—The most astonishing thing in your future is that you will cease to habitually wear a white shirt-waist and skirt with a linen collar and a black bow. You are very energetic and passionate, and you have decided philanthropic tendencies. You will become matron of a Chil- dren’s Home on the East Side, and will spend your time in running after small howling children to keep them out of mischief. LuLu STtRYKER—Your great power lies in writing songs and poems. If I read your hand aright you have a glorious future in store for you,—a fut- ure created by this talent. Only beware! You have a desire for celebrity at any cost, and unless you are careful, this will mar your life. Again, I say, Beware! Martin StuTsMAN—You are fond of chasing butterflies and have caught many in your day, although they have all finally escaped from the meshes of your net. But now you have caught another, who seems a volun- tary captive, though sometimes fluttering tremulously at your approach, and who will cast a Rosy glow upon your remaining days. Inez ToLLes—You are kind-hearted to all mankind. You will be pet- rifled while combing your hair. Iiarry THompson—During the long winter months you have often gone Berrying, and although you have found only one little Berry this one is so sweet and satisfying that you will be abundantly repaid in the future for all the trouble and hardship of your search. Ava WeEsTPpHAL—You are a mistress of ingenuity and artifice. You will marry a rich Alderman, and will come to a class reunion in 1925,—‘‘and even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed” as you will be. Emity WINANT—Y ou are modest, timid, and retiring ; very solemn, and never known to smile. You are simple, unaffected, and afraid of boys. You will take refuge in a convent to escape them. AIMEE CONANT— There’s a prim little maiden named Aimee, Who likes little boys, just the samey ; And they'll line up some day In fine battle array, While she chooses Jack, Willie or Jamie.

22 WANE, CORACILIE. your pent-up feelings and energy in the building of a Suspension Bridge across the Atlantic. Epirnu JARvis—You are of a calm and placid disposition, unruffled and serene. After graduating from college you will seek a foreign shore in order to have a larger scope. Fitting through the Old World, you will visit Switzerland. Upon the topmost peak of the Matterhorn you will meet an Alpine shepherd, and charmed by his unsophisticated philosophy, you will marry him upon the spot; and evermore upon the icy pinnacle of the Mat- terhorn in the midst of silver-lined clouds you will live the “simple life.” ZELLA KeELLY—You are impetuous, and your joints of philosophy are well-developed. You have good reasoning powers which often enable you to bluff through English. You will study Ethical Culture this summer and will subsequently make your fame as a leader of the Salvation Army. Howarp Lapstey—You will apprentice yourself to a Taylor for life. Roxana Love—You have found the “lost chord” and three or four others equally divine. With the tune composed of them you will delight the ears of future generations of pupils in the new High School as they march into chapel. LAWRENCE MILLER—You will become a manufacturer of airships, and then, “Keep away from the sun, little Miller You will singe your gauzy wings, I know it is bright, and a glorious sight, But it isn’t quite right, little Miller, To play with such dangerous things.” CAROLYN PALMER—As you are good at making faces, you have in you the ability to become a famous artist and cartoonist. If you do not spoil your future by getting married, you will bec ome great as an illustrator of books like “Alice in Wonderland.” Mary RANnpoLpH—You will write a book on the most improved method of remembering dates in English Literature—upon which Mr. Travell will joyfully pounce for his Senior English class. WaLterR RuGEN—You will be a scholarly man of great learning, and as you grow older will become absent-minded and benignant. You will spend your life writing an argument in Latin proving to your own satisfaction that a yard-stick can be made with only one end. ANNA Runyon—You used to be afraid of boys but now you are well- drilled in the art of love-making and know how to play with the countless Rivals who throng about you. You will long to be a missionary, but you will fall in love with a stunning youth. You will then be torn between con-
