fl iff .L ,, fy Ag, ,, ff....,f., VVe are just in time to see two of her models. Look, Barbara Schick is her model for the famous 'Sylva Hair Tonic-.' The other girl is showing the latest coiffure in linger waving. Hold your breath, room- mate, it's Gloria Steendalf' What about some of the younger girls? Gaze into the crystal and see if you can discern anything. I can see a college campus and some girls, that's all. VVhy that is Joan Kuebler, Catherine Givens and Trientje Hood. Trientje has just won the Junior Tennis Cup. Jacqueline Collins, just home from Vassar, is there, too, as a week-end guest. Wl1at about Sally, Mary Ann Barr and the rest? 't Mary Ann and Sally are studying music abroad, while Vonda and Ma1'y Alice are just traveling around. Virginia Schick is specializing in algebra at the college where Aimee is the Junior Instructor. Janet Morosolt and Patricia Grubb are studying botony there also. Let's stop, I 'm tired. Not now, Kitty, this is too interesting. What else can you see? The crystal is clouded, wait a second. I can see Jane Huszagh. She has just been elected president of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. She has also established a wonderful hospital for dogs and cats. Lucille Shine is head doctor, a11d Peggy Dodge is head nurse. V What about Sophie? Is she in the crystal? The crystal takes me to a foreign land, where yellow-skinned natives go about their daily work. It is China. In o11e of the rickshas I see Sophie with her missionary husband doing their daily rounds. t'By the day, Dot, how did you like your lunch? It was delicious, Kitty, some of the best food I have tasted in a long time. VVhy? The dessert is one of Vivian Faulkner's famous recipes. She gives radio talks every morning. How interesting, I'll have to tune in. Look, the crystal is changing and I can see a broadcasting station. Beatrice Nimick has just finished one of her travel talks and Emmy Lou is about to entertain her audience with her songs, assisted by the Radio Twins, none other than the Barrett Sisters. I always knew those girls would make good. How thrilling! Can you see anything exciting in store for me? HI can see that you are going to attend one of the greatest per- formances to be given this season.
