Glass lgrnpherg MILDRED BAKER Unaccustomed as I am to visiting potentates, you can imagine my astonishment wl1en, in response to a knock at my door at the cloisters late one evening in 1270, I called Come in, and Pluto entered x ery charmingly dressed in red with his tail switching gracefully on the floor. I said nothing in fact I didn t feel like it, and when he asked me if I would like to visit Hades, I was naturally rather taken aback. But how well he must have known my secret longings! Ever since the com ent cook had died two years before I had wanted to ask her where she had put the keys to thc flour bin so I was glad of this chance. I nodded my head, and in a moment my friend Pluto and I were at the cave Avernus, on the downward trail toward the river Styx. Captain Charon rowed us across in his boat, and we landed on the opposite shore among all the shades Pluto obligingly took me at once to our former cook who sat contentedly peeling potatoes and dropping them into a huge kettle which was being stirred by a rascally looking imp It took sei eral minutes to focus her mind on what I wanted, but she finally remembered and said that they had been hanging behind the kitchen door all the time. Pluto hurried off just then to greet a delegation which had just arrived, and I was left to my own devices I was attracted toward a huge stone wall from behind which came the most awful moan groans and clanking of chains imaginable. I wanted to go in, but was stopped by a pitch fork wielded by a fellow who looked as though he meant it, so I wandered along. In the back yard I came across miles and miles of clothes line from which were hanging souls. No one could gne me any information about them, so I rushed to the brink of the river to look for Pluto for in common with the other members of my sex, I am very curious. Pluto sat on a rock leisurely fishing but when I made known my request his eyes lighted up with an untold eloquence and we hurried to the backyard and sat down on a washtub. He began to talk and tlus IS what he said These souls are those of people who are dead. When their shades come here, we extract tl1e1r souls Cqulte painlesslyb and hang them up in the sun. After hundreds of yearsgas you people on earth reckon time-the sun and the wind purify themg then we dip them in the river Lethe so that there will be no remembrance of the Past in them, and send them, wholly pure, to be relncarnated in the form of other people. One of my most pleasing pastimes is sorting them out and designating what they shall be. At lny expression of a desire to know what some of these quite harmless looking hits of white, foamy like substances were to become, we began to stroll leisurely down the rows, finally stop- ping at the Battle Creek High Section of the 1930 department, where he began to name the odd various shaped figures. George Fisher first on the line, is going to spend most of his life running around after Doro- thea Ixitz trying to persuade her that he is the only one. The next harmless looking one will be called Elizabeth Kerr who will make her living teaching an embroidery class at Harvard University This one poor thing, is to be Maryo Kimball, who will spend her last years in a private sanltarlum after many years of keeping an eye in the general direction of her twin. Here IS a great future benefactor to humanity. He will be Robert Harris who, after many years of research will discover a way to remove pencil marks from the desks in Miss Krell's room without the aid of a handkerchief. These two that are so close together are to be Mary Sabin and Margaret Allen who will pass many pleasant years in the South Sea Islands studying the architecture This blond one will be Margaret Woodruff, who will rise to great oratorical heights in the Senate assisted by her secretary, Virginia Osborn. And these two' Dr. and Mrs. Schoonmaker, whose son, Donald Jr., will be on the All- World Football team. This odd one will be the rather eccentric Charles lValkinshaw, who will donate a new Athletic Field, when the lagoon in Irving Park overflows its banks and covers the old one These two Wilda Shotwell and Wilma Martin, will become nurses and Wilma will marry one of her wealthy old patients and go to Alaska to live. And this rather elongated one IS to be the famous Helen Peters, establisher of a new world's ski-jump record. You will notice that the next two are exactly alike and will be the Muskin Twins who, after some years r ,' f. A t, fri? 1 .- ' ' Y ' ff f, . .1 . . - . i. -' - 4' .. . . - .X- .I I K....

This cute little one will be Wanda Bayley, a dancing instructor at St. Mary's Academy in South Bend-the atmosphere there being so agreeable to her. Betty Bailey, the next in line, with the assistance of her press-agent, Mary Brigstock, will displace Marion Davies. WVanda Jackson and Lois VVilson's faces will become familiar throughout the United States through their Bradley Bathing SuitAdvertisements. Here is thefuture Bernard Craw, eminent surgeon, who will teach in Vienna. This one, Gladys Parkins, will conduct a matrimonial agency through which Adelbert Smith will find himself a wife.

At last we had come to the end of the line and I drew a sigh of relief. As Pluto led me back to the river, I was very effusive in n1y thanks for his assisting me in retrieving the keys to the flour bin and I told him how much I had enjoyed his talk Qwhich I hadn't enjoyed a particle, but thought it best to be politel. He promised me that when I died he would hang my soul on the same line. And so here I am, waiting for the call : and I am eagerly anticipating becoming one of these promising souls. l22l
