And Lida Rice and Hazel Lilly, whom I next did see, VVere running a large dancing school and quite successfully. Aliec Redetzkc next I saw, and Neva Parsons, too, Careering down in Hollywood--I know it scarce seems true. Then turned I to Blanche Tucker, and it made my senses numb, She was the portly matron in a school for deaf and dumb. And next I saw a parson in his black and sober gown, And I saw 'twas Leon Vlialkcr, a preacher in this town. And next I saw Iola Gross. a-dancing on l1er toes ' In a large and famous theatre where the king of England goes. Then saw I Mildred Crowthers, and Lueen Hoskins, too, In a dark and smelly kitchen, a-making strong home brew. Then saw I Horace lVilson on the stage of a theatre, A-starring in the famous play, The Modern W'oman Hater. Next I saw Vllaltcr Reisner in a stand down on the street, A-selling roasted peanuts, and lollypops so sweet. Then up stepped a book agent, and it gave me twenty shocks 'When in that mild hook pcddler. I saw our Harold Knox. Then Emma Gene Fish did I spy, and my! I was surprised, She was a lady doctor. and a good one. I surmised. Next I saw that Harold Finnegan and Eugene Henderling YVere busy undertakers with business in full swing. Thcn Edith Long I vhanced to see-and say, I thought Ifd Hop! She was a lady barber in a pretty barber shop. Then I saw Clayton Foreman, and laugh-I thought I'd die! He was sweeping dirty chimneys in a little town near by. Then two train conductors in uniform I saw. One was Mm-do Hickox and the other Lloyd Shaw. Then I saw Roy Lalfollette-O, what a life to choose! For I saw him in a boot-blaek's shop a-shining peoples' shoes. I took the glasses off my nose and heaved a mighty sigh. Then I got my pen and paper.. and wrote down each scene my eye Had gathered through the spectacles-these have I told to youg And if you don't like them, Seniors, you know what you can do.. M. E. A.

May she enjoy her ride! The next scene that I Chaneed to see quite took away my breath. 'Twas Fanny Goff and Ethel lvilson ust as rsue as death, Dressed as lovely chorus girls whose costumes were most shoekingr, For they were made of 'thinnest gauze with an awful length of stock- ing. Then Edith Hansen did I see. Her lot I hate to tell, For I found her washing dishes in a little eheap hotel. Carl Anderson, I next did spot--and Oh! 'twould make you ery! He was wielding' broom and dust mop in the halls of I . G. Ili. Next Russell Duncan met my eye in an outfit white and neat. A serub-brush o'er one shoulder, with which he cleaned the street. Then Francis Yoder hove in sight, a silk hat on his dome, All dressed in latest Paris clothes that one ean't buy at home. His garb quite told his fortuneg you'd have known him anywhere, Our well-known Francis Yoder was a Xvall Street millionaire. Then Inez Hazlett did appear, and Oh, how I did stare! Ifor she was dressed in all those clothes that old maids always wear. Long skirts, and stiff collar, and the funniest of hats, On one arm a basket that was full of well-fed eats. Then I saw Avis Crosley and Glenn Sehooleraft, and you know They were quarrelling about something and just arguing sog I knew they'd been sent to Congress, for there is it men go NVhen they went to stir up arguments and get a lot of dough. And next Victoria Seymour appeared before my sight- A speller in her left hand, a ruler in' her right. Quite stern was her expression, for she almost frightened meg But the truth it is I saw her-an old maid school marin-she! Then I saw Esther Huhman and Ruth Underhill, as well, Their work-it was apparent-they had left their happy home To be saintly missionaries in a land beyond the foam Then our own Catherine Nicholson appeared upon the scene A stately married matron, with a family of fifteen. There next appeared two lawyers of stern and learned mien lvho were, notwithstanding, ladies-Della Sehlie and Ellen lvallin. I then saw Helen YVhited and with her was Grave Moore, llllllllll IIIIIIII lilllllllllIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ll lllll lllllllillilllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllll P 1 lv llllllllll I ll lllll llllIllllIllIllIllIllIIIIllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIllllIIlIllIllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll nnmnum u u i umuuunuuumn im m I I an mumunu nmuuun mmm: age I nuuuummunnninm1mnIuuunmumummumIuiinIuu11n11u1unuIiuinIniuiu11IIuIumuunlumnum
