As we passed out. a street ear stopped in front of us and I recognized Fred Layton in a brass buttoned uniform, collecting nickels. On the street I met Mary Stuart, and she invited me to a ball given in her honor, but since my time was limited I was forced to refuse her gracious invitation. About that time Gertrude appeared in her Hudson Six and took Mary Stuart with her. A neat little bungalow stood near and 1 saw Mattie digging in the flower garden and Elnora sweeping the steps. I was told that was a new establishment for old maids who had been disappointed in love. Next we entered a hotel called the “Tate,” because that fair girl was its chief occupant. She bossed the chef, the porters, housemaids and every one, even herself. I always knew she would hold a commanding position. In a Japanese garden near the hotel 1 saw Markoleta with a host of admirers following her. She was the envy of every girl’s heart, even I wanted to be near her, but my companion led me gently away. “But. Mizzah,” I said, “where is Elloie?” “Ah! what a noble creature she is.” replied Mizzah, “for she has become a Red Cross nurse.” “Now as you have shown me the future of all of my classmates- perhaps you will tell me what is in store for me?” Mizzah looked at me piercingly, “we are now nearing the end of the street and in a little house you will find your lot. As you go in, enter the first room to your right. On a table in a corner you will find a basket, lift the cover and you will find what is in store for you.” I left her standing on the steeps and hurried in. The room was bare and dirty. Sure enough there stood the basket on the table. My heart stood still, as I slowly raised the lid and took out the neatly folded piece of paper. 1 opened and found a blank page. I ran to the door to tell Mizzah, but as 1 did so 1 began falling. I awoke greatly startled. Could it be possible. I rubbed my eyes and looked in vain for my wierd companion. 1 was in the same shady spot, my lunch still spread before tne. It was too late for me to eat now, so 1 rushed back to the hotel and found Auntie. I never told her where I had been and what 1 had dreamed, for it was my own pleasure, my own experience.

I was entranced, but I was lightly tapped on the shoulder and beckoned on. Next we came to a laboratory where I saw Fred Crumley working faithfully over an experiment. My companion told me that he was the greatest scientist of the day. Near by Morris gave valuable (?) suggestions. I felt sure Fred could not get along without him. As we came out, a beautiful building appeared which seemed to be the offices of many intellectual people. The signs read thusly: “Dr. Moore, Eyes, Teeth, nose and ear specialist. Ladies preferred. Dogs not allowed.” “Butler and Blassingame, Lawyers at large. Fair or Foul means, we win.” “Misses Lauderdale, Creech and Crowder, Expert Dressmakers. No lace, no frills, merely calico.” Peeping in a nearby window I saw Willie behind a camera trying to draw the attention of a freckled faced boy while he talked incessantly: “Right this way now; be still; Oh, look what a cute little monkey I have; now, you have a wonderful child, madam; you can get the proofs tomorrow; next.” Such patience is for none but Bill. As we passed out of this building, I heard a newsboy crying: “Get the extra about Arnold Kucera. first poet laureate of U. S.” Surely his E. II. S. training helped him gain this honor. Around the corner rolled a car and its occupants were Raymond and several beautiful young ladies. My guide told me that he was considered a “good catch,” and was sought by many match making mothers. Following this immense car came a jitney and I recognized at its wheel Emma Kate. Oh. independent woman, what will you do next? Gee, what a wonderful city this had turned out to be. On one corner stood Ruth May giving a lecture on “Votes for women.” I recalled what a successful debater she had been in E. II. S. and felt sure she would win. Before us hung a signboard bearing this inscription: “This building will be completed January 1.—Harper and Walker, Architects. Back of this ground stood a great building surrounded by large trees. I saw a tiny figure sitting dolefully under one of the oaks holding a trigonometry in her hand. My conductor told me that it was Gertrude Howard; and that her fate was a sad one, sad because she had completely lost her mind over her best liked subject. She told me, however, that there was a young specialist, named McCullough, who was treating her and had hopes of her regaining her lost mind in a few more weeks. As 1 passed this building another loomed up, magnificence could not describe it. Down the wide marble steps walked Jimmie and Kathryn arrayed in all the finery of the rich. Mizzah told me that they had been married only a short while and belonged to the leading society circles of the city. Soon we entered a coliseum where a concert was being given. At the piano sat Leslene making sublime music. Applause greeted her from all sides, Mizzah predicted for her fame that would rival Paderewski. Down the aisle came Sffi2SZ5Z5ZS25Hb dSeSSSS5c£5ZS2j S75SS2S25Z5 sasBsasPsasiSisasasi PAGE THIRTY VOLUME ONE i 5eS2SZSZSZSB5ZS252S2S252S2SZS?-525 2S2S25?5aSZS2S2S2S2SeS?S£52SSSS2525Z5ZS
