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.
