I told Owen that I had been fortunate enough to locate every one of my former classmates with the exception of Addie Lambert. Oh, how his face brightened when he heard that name! Oh, dear, don't you read the papers? You know beauty is only skin deep, but it is irresistible while it lasts. Addie is to be the next White House Bride. Here, my prophetic vision ended and I hastily scribbled down a few notes in order to preserve the important facts for this festive occasion. Perhaps some of you do not take any stock in my predict- ions. Let it go at that. If you live long enough, you will be convinced of the truth of my statements. All that I have foretold will come to pass. THE OLD HOME TOWN The action revolves around the Irving family. Andy, the son, is terribly interested in the girl next door. He develops a case of measles which, he thinks ruin his love life. Henry, the father is a druggist whose business is going on the rocks. Mrs. Irving, who is preoccupied with her daughter's homecoming, knows nothing of her husband's difficulties. Alice, the daughter, has been in New York writing a novel which is supposed to be a success, but so far it is nothing more than a flop. Clark Kent, Alice's former fiance, has been going around with Carol Brewster, the banker's daughter. Clark and Alice's new relationship stirs up gossip and also Carol's jeal- ousy, getting her into a great deal of trouble. When Mr. Irving at- temps to get a thousand dollars with which to start up a new busi- - ness, he discovers that his daughter's book isa failure and that she has no money. Uncle Tom, the bachelor brother, is a joker and a photographer. He refuses, at first, to sell his equipment to give his brother the money he needs. Clark offers to lend his sav- ings but there is trouble at the bank and it takes all of his money to clear himself. Suddenly Alice receives a telegram from a moving picture company in Hollywood offering her three thousand dollars for the use of her book. Uncle Tom, then arrives with money from the sale of his equipment, which he planned to give to his brother. To end things up right, Carol admits taking the money from the bank, clearing Clark. The Irvings all feel Carol is reformed and ask her to stay for dinner and be friends again.
