C. next year and take her diploma. Wonder of wonders, she shall star in Latin. Perhaps by May, 1911, her leaf on the tree of life shall foretell wonderful events. Louise Blakeney shall live a repetition, in part, of the story of the Lady of the Decoration. The scene shall be laid, however, not in Japan, but in China. After winning the hearts of the little Chinese children by her attractive and lovable ways, she shall one day be summoned to the wharf to greet a new missionary, and that missionary shall be---------Jack.

 Louise Lutterloli lias been preparing for her life-work since she entered college, and for years to come she shall make an efficient music teacher. Our graduate in voice shall star in one of the leading grand opera companies of America, and the theatres in all parts of the country shall be crowded when posters announce that Mademoiselle Torrence is to sing. Tn 1915 Sue McKcown shall go to South America and take up her work in a mission school. Sue shall have many strange adventures in her new home, and in a few years she shall publish a very entertaining novel, A Brazilian Maid.

Anna Meta Buchanan shall enter a Philadelphia hospital and become a very capable trained nurse. As she moves in and out among the sick, her gentle touch and kindly word shall soothe pains and revive sinking spirits.

Harris, renowned for her eloquence and effectiveness. Ida Moore Alexander shall return to P. C. and accept a position as teacher of music. She shall take the place of Miss Stevens, who is to open an “Ideal Training School for Dignified Young Ladies.” Martha and Louise Flournoy shall in the future, as in the past, follow parallel paths and continually vie with each other in the pursuit of learning.

But, although May Julia Reid's heart has been pierced by his darts several times during her school days, it was never fatally wounded, and she shall continue to live in “single blessedness.” After reading this unexpected prediction, I was lost for a few moments in thoughts of the future. Presently T turned to the leaves in my hand. The next one.was Iva Bennett’s, and on it were the words: “Under the blossoming cherry trees, In the far oft isle of Sun-Rise Land, The little black-eyed Japanese Cling to the skirts and caress the hand Of a winsome maid of old P. CVs, W ho heeded the words of her King’s command. In the years to come Louise Parks shall entertain her suitors (and they shall be many) with entrancing music.
