who has succeeded in the way of humor is Hortense Newman. Her latest book on jokes contains one for every minute of the day, for a whole year. Now she is finish- ing a book which explains the origin of more than two thousand witty sayings. Look at that bright and luminous flame. It belongs to the shadow of Rita Cashin. She is the director of the National Debating Convention. Only recently she opened up a school for argumentative discourse, and already it has proved a success. That large office, of the United Fruit Company, is the headquarters of Miss Carolyn Casson, chief executive of the firm. Since she entered ofHce, the output of the company increased from twenty-two percent to fifty-five percent in three years. New York fades into the smoke screen, and we find ourselves on the steps of the Capitol. Beyond those walls, the Misses Kelly and Dunne are receiving honors from the president, because of tactful methods used in settling the Cuban situation. Don't be startled, by that demon of speed. The figure at the wheel is none other than Mary Clancy. That four-hundred horse power car that she is driving is a prize won at some radio contest. She received quite a bit of practice while riding to school from her home. And now neither pedestrians nor motorists are safe. At the Catholic University in Washington we meet Miss Rita 0'Connor, who has become a most able assistant and advisor of the Science Department. In the Language Department of the same university is Margaret Zelt, LL.T. Her book on, How to learn French in Fifty Lessons' is the support of many a young student. I hear church bells ringing. Ah! Here comes the bride, Ethel Coleman, what a picture she makes against the background of Japanese Cherry Blossoms. Long life and happiness to her. And, now there is one more shadow that must be reckoned With. It is that of Inez Webb. But you will find her in any book store or publishing house, for her work Poetical Collectionsnhas brought into America a new trend of thought which has uplifted American ideals and thought. And now the dying flames are smoldering into dust and ashes, it is getting dark and I can tell by the way Puss purrs, that the tale is finished, but let the memory of my story sink deep into your soul, so that you too may accomplish great things as did those Thirty-two Shadows. And ten years from today I hope to continue whence I have left, and by rekindling their sparks-who knows if I have not still greater things to foretell to you? -CAROLYN CASSON 68 VESTlGIA19i34
