‘G-H Salwar = Ninteen Hundred Five. laughing. Joy said, Harry I have the best husband that ever lived, and Jesse jr. is a darling little fellow; but Oh I do get so tired baking pies. After Anna left school she discovered that she possessed great inventive genius. Her in- ventions were largely for the comfort and convenience of her own sex. Her last and greatest was a rotary kettle scraper. One simply placed the machine in a kettle, pressed a button and in less time than I can tell about it the kettle was cleaned. It was so constructed that it would ex- pand or contract, to fit any kettle. She certainly has been a great benefactress to womankind and no doubt some day her statue will be placed in the Hall of Fame. Anna never married, not because she had no chances, but as she said, because she had no time to bother with a husband. Besse Kinsey taught school for several years, and then married her old school-mate Jason Sebert, who had become a violinist of great renown. After their marriage, Jason discovered that his wife possessed a wonderful voice, and to please her husband, Mrs. Sebert carefully cul- tivated it, both at home and abroad. Now she travels with him and is equally as famous as he. They have traveled all over Europe, and are great favorites of many of the crowned heads of that continent, especially of President Tolstoi of Russia. Druie taught music for several years after leaving school, and was very successful, but be- came discouraged because she could not make money enough to support a husband as it was a hobby of hers that women should never marry until they were able to support a husband. The city had erected a fine building in the old school park, for Kindergarten purposes and Druie was made superintendent with a generous salary. She had at last found her mission, and was suc- ceeding splendidly. She had grown quite stout, was just as jolly as ever, and in fact was a very pleasing specimen of the bachlor maid. She is now abunbantly able to to support a husband but they don’t come around. After finishing school Guy changed his mind in regard to entering the medical profession and concluded he would try farming, as his father had bought him a very fine farm near the city. While spending his vacations on his father’s farm near Oberlin, Maude too, had acquired a taste for rural life, and so they were married and went to work with a will to beautify their home and to make money. They conducted their farm in accordance with the most approved scientific methods, and they made it pay. They have a fine dairy, which Maude personally superintends, the products of which are noted far and wide. Guy gives his attention to fine poultry, Belgain hares and squabs. They supply the leading hotel of the city with their farm luxuries, which have given this hotel an enviable reputation throughout the state. I would like. to have eaten some of their yellow-leged chickens, but they were so delighted to see me, that I guess they forgot to ask me to remain to dinner. You all know what Rosamond’s aspirations are, so you will be surprised as | was, to find hereafter a lapse of twenty-five years, in the Salvation Army. After leaving high school, she attended dramatic schcol for some time, and then went on the stage. After a few years she tired of the glow cf the fcot-lights, and dicided to seek elsewhere for her life’s mission, for of course she never married, as she always did maintain that a woman with a career should never marry. While visiting friends in Chicago, she became interested in the work of the Army, joined its ranks and did effective service

Her blue poke-bonnet and uniform is very becoming to her, Dorsey always wanted to be a farmer, while his father thought he ought to be a doctor, so they conpromised, and he took four years course in Osteopathy. He came home with his mns- cles splendidly developed, hung out his shingle in the old town (and of course married Vera, the idol of his heart),and soon had a very flourishing practice, His patiants hustled around lively to get well, for fear he will rob them to death. He has a beautiful home in the suburbs, with sev- eral acres of ground attached, and when he is1’t attending to his patients, you will find him “be- hind the hoe.” He takes great pride in his beautiful lawn, flower beds, gardens, etc., and does a great deal of the work himself. Dorsey accumulated a great deal of money, and is very gen- erous. He has built a home where old and worn out may receive good treatment and careful medical attention, free of charge. They had one of the cutest, curly-haired, blue-eyed little boys I had ever seen. I was so glad, even in my dreams, to see that so many of the members of ‘05 had remarried in or near the dear old town, and were so successful in their life-work, I suppose of course that before my dream ended, I would know someting of my own future, for | was very anxious to know what I would be doing, and just how I would look in a quarter of a century from now, but I was suddenly awaken by the shrill scream of the fire-whistle, and my dream was ended. Now if you want to know my future, just go to sleep, and dream it out yourselves. “SENIORS.”
