BEST WISHES FROM MR. 8: MRS OTTO KLEMM To fbr' Class of 1940 INVITATION TO DEATH Volo, Illinois Phone MCI-Ienry 6471 1 An Armwiran Viqmfllv Elsie Brooks entered her home that night singing merrily. She had good reason to feel happyg she had just been to the bank and checked on their bank account. Shep had never told her that there was five hun- dred dollars to the good on their account. He had promised her a trip to visit her mother in California as soon as enough money was saved above expenses. Perhaps Shep was keeping it as a surprise. Anyway Elsie decided not to tell her husband of her visit to the bank. With a joyful heart she set the bundles on her husband's desk in the parlor. Supper was on the table when Shep entered the dining room at seven o'clock. Elsie was listening to the radio, for Shep always stayed at the zoo later on Tuesday nights than on others. Elsie could never understand why, except that maybe the ani- mals were hungrier on Tuesdays. Shep was more talkative than was usually his habit at a meal. He talked about everything from the animals at the zoo to the latest war news. My desk needs cleaning out. I'll do that when I finish eating, announced Shep at length. No, Shep, you let me do that, and you go read thc paper. When she was finished, a letter at the bottom of the drawer caught her eye. Opening it she read to herself: Mr. Burns: Upon careful examination I find that Elsie, case 1105, has contracted an incurable disease which is rare in medical history.

TO THE CLASS OF '40 MR. AND MRS. J. W. McDONOUGH Invitation to Death fronfiuzmlj The letter stopped there. It was torn away at the bottom. With a pallid face Elsie lay down on the nearest couch. I-Ier heart was beating rapidly. Elsie recalled that the doctor did act strangely when she had last called at his cflice. Now she knew why those dizzy spells came to her during the day. XVhy hadn't Shep told her of the letter? But it was just as well, if she was sick. Elsie found no rest that night, but turned and tossed with devils before her eyes. Day after day Elsie's condition grew more serious until one morning she eouldn't get out of bed. She wondered how many more days she would live. An attending physi- cian proclaimed hcr gravely sick. Elsie is -worrying. which makes her ease worse. he told her husband the next evening. Elsie, something is bothering you, said Shep as he entered the room. It's terrible, confessed Elsie. I have an incurable disease. Here, read this piece of a letter I found in your desk. Shep laughed until there were tears in his eyes. Don't tell me this is the trouble, he roared. Don't you remember the lion at the zoo we named after you? Why, yes, that was my idea, his wife answered faintly. XVell, cheer up. Elsie died last night. ' -Robert Sayles.
