proverbial slipper to a small culprit while wails floated forth on the air. Next door, Anna Parker, a dressmaker, was working in her garden. We soon reached the Walden School, which was conducted on strictly new principles. Each pupil's scat was a well-padded chair, or lounge, and there were intermissions for yawning. On the way back we saw Ralph Dublin, the railroad magnate, playing golf. Then I met Frederica Summerhavs—no longer Summerhays—and she promptly announced, “You arc going to Burbank Young’s wedding with me this minute, and there I was in the great flower-decorated church, listening to the organ pealing under the touch of Gladys Wilkins. Then the bride, whom I recognized, and Burbank Young appeared, and Fred Remington, the newspaper man, and Walter Hamilton as ushers and Esther Payne as maid of honor followed. I heard Herbert Soule performing the ceremony and Edwin Appel, the best man, sobbing loudly. Then all was over, and I was on my way with Frederica to the performance of the great play that night. On the way, she told me about Florence Drumm, Clara Kaiser, Marie Seifert, and A Hie Williams, who were running a co-operative cottage in the country for fresh air children. Bur now we bad reached the theater, and taken our places next to Ruth Levy and her husband. File balcony tickets were three dollars, and no wonder, Martha Jane Judson starred, Louise Waters played a comic part, and Margaret Schaft was a pronounced success. The dashing hero was Willard Clark, Kenneth Henderson the dark-haired villain, and Louis Arentz proved irresistibly funny in a humorous role. Bur amid the lights and music, I grew drowsier, and drowsier. Dimly now 1 saw Mr. Frederick Betz and his wife witnessing the play from the nearc t box. Now all was darkness. Then 1 awoke. The morning sun was flooding the face of the Sphinx, v v which had given me the g’orious dream. I was no longer lonely, but happy in t t thinking of the fortunate class of June, 12. “And just as the Sphinx, I thought, “has stood out a glorious figure t t through all the ages, so may the name and fame of our class of June, 12, forever r r remain in the world.” And one of the stone eyes winked.
