k '-wrrtv rw fo THE ECHO 9 made all the wonderful gowns and lingerie for the aristocratic sets of Paris. The next showed the stage of a large theatre in Italy, and there, to the surprise of all, was the prima donna, Ruth Fanning. Xklhoever would have thought of it-Ruth, a prima donna. And there a little to one side accompanying her on a violin was Carlisle Richards, a great violinist. He never did have any ambition at all at school. , Then there appeared an old-fashioned building which had been made over into a biarding school. In the office was the prin- cipal giving orders to three of her teachers. XVhen the three attentive watchers recog- nized the prim old maidish principal they burst out laughing, for it was nobody else but Marciel Tickle, and her three teachers were Helen Rosenblerger and Elizabeth Bell ---whom every one thought were going to become famous violinists. The third teacher was Jimmy Kahle, the great professor, whom every one said was secretly in love with Miss Rosenberger. How odd this old world is. VVhen this had disappeared the cave of a hunter or some wild beast was shown, and then strutting up to the door, garbed in a green felt and leather hunting suit was Howard Beckes Cmore generally called Stonewall Jacksonj the great hunter of Alaska. XVell, poor fellow! The next was the pulpit of a large ca- thedral, and there preaching the word of God was Julien Priest. He had followed his name, hadn't he? Then three Hgures appeared, the center one being Jean Xkforthington, and on either side of her was Don Linn and Don Julien. So Jean was trifling with two hearts as of old. Then appeared a figure gazing through a telescope fmany times bigger than him- selfj at the stars. Who was this great astronomer? As he .turned his head they instantly recognized Carl Mills. Funny in- deed. And then a little to one side of him was another fellow looking through a mi- croscope, but he was not looking up-but down-at some very rare specimens of bugs- Nelson Block! So Mr. Block had turned to bugs? Next-why, what was this? A wonderful yacht! And pacing its shining deck was Tom Miller-a world-known navigator. CTom afterwards remarked that he had read in the paper about Mr. Miller discov- ering a number of unknown islands in the North Sea.J Then appeared an aeroplane hovering over a tiny bungalow. Suddenly it alighted and out jumped Jessica Innis and Anna Bell Tuttle. Vifell they had both been rather Highty at Indianola, so not much surprise at this. Next was the arena of some large build- ing 'in Texas, and there clad in a red robe lighting a bull was Everett Coe. A bull lighter! Think of it! Finally he killed the aninal and the hall resonnded again and again with cheers for the brave Signore,. This seemed to be the last for no more figures appeared in the ball, and after gain- ing her consent to dine with them the next day at the Ritz Preston, Tom and Mildred left for hozne, happier than they had ever been since their marriage. MARGARET VVHITEHEAD, 9-A. MARGARETS STRANGE EXPERIENCE tContinued from the April NumberJ began Mary, am the cobbler's daugh- ter. He has something of yours which I believe, you treasure very highly. I know it belongs to you, for many times I have seen you wear it. But my, father has a craving for beautiful jewels which, because cf his poverty, he is not able to satisfy, so when he found this lying close to the curb- ing on the street he came home very much elated. I recognized it at once as yours, but dared not tell him. Each night he would take it from its hiding place and gloat over its beauty as a miser over his gold. 4 But yesterday I suggested to him that there were many robberies these days, but he laughed at nie. After he was sound asleep that night I slipped down stairs and opened a wlindow wide and proceeded to scatter things around the room as though -some one had been searching for some- thing. I then took the necklace upstairs with me, and in the morning father called me to come down quickly and told me some one had broken into the house and robbed him of his beautiful jewels. Here is your diamond necklace, contin- ued Mary. Please take it away quickly, and do not think too hardly of myfather, as his mind has never been clear since mother's death. V Margaret was overjoyed at receiving her long lost necklace and never forgot her brave, kind friend who braved her father's wrath to do what she knew was right and good. HELEN ROSENBERGER, 9-A.

'T r fE.,,.m.,-.----,e - . -F .EFH0 . - CLASS PROPHECY Say, dearie, if you had a fairy' god- mother and- she gave you a wish, what would you want most? asked Mr. Tom Hamilton of his pretty wife, Mildred. Oh, I hardly know, Tom. But I believe I should ask to see all of our old school- mates just as they are in their present life, . replied Mildred dreamily. VVell of all things, that reminds me of something! Do you remember our old friend, Irene Marjetti? I met her coming home from the ofiicef' Oh, you did? XVell, I should say I do remember her. VVhere did you see her, Tom? Is she married? Is she still good looking? Is she-? Nat so fast, my dear, or I will forget all she told me. Yes, Irene is decidedly good looking. She is not married and she lives here in New York. VVhat do you think of that as a surprise? asked Tom proudly as though he had just finished tel- ling his employer, The Great Oil King, that Preferred Stock had gone up. Oh! Really Tom? But dear, if she is not married, how does she live? Is she touring the Continent? As I remember now, she used to be quite a violinist. No, she is not touring the Continent. Nor has she continued her violin career. She is a Crystal Gazer, or more commonly called, Fortune Teller. XN'hat! Irene Marzetti a Crystal Gazer? Oh, surely Tom, you're teasing. No, I'm not teasing. But waitg I'll get my hat and stick, and you may see her for yourself. Mildred could hardly wait until Tom re- turned, but shortly they arrived at Mlle. Irene's, who lived in a mystical looking apartment near Chinatown. Irene was enraptured at seeing Mildred, and quite surprised to hear she was no longer Mildred Morningstar, for in tfhe earlier meeting Tom had failed to tell Irene of his and Mildred's marriage. So, Irene! Tom tells me you are a Crys- tal Gazer. Really-are you? said Mildred, as they at last finished a fond embrace. Yes, answered Irene, and let me tell you, I'm real good at it, CVCII if I do say it myself. You may look into my crystal and see anything you wish. lVhat! gasped Mildred excitedly. Real- ly, do you mean I can look in that-ball and see anything I want to see? All right, please bring the ball here, my dear, because I want to see all our old schoolmates just as htey are living at present. Fine! just what I want most, too, but I haven't the power to make figures appear for my own amusement and, bringing the magic ball to the center of the room, began Oh Abdual iiiniscum Ababaulualf' etc. In a moment all were gazing into the ball. Presently there appeared a tiny speck which, as it grew larger, developed into the Figure of a Bolshevik Leader, with heavy whiskers and long coarse hair. Horrorsl XVho can it be? Again they looked, and it was the image of their once noble presi- dent, Bob Edwards. So, he was a leader with the cheer dropped oFf. , Next there appeared a fashionable .shop on Fifth Avenue, New York, and the win- dow letters were La Botiquei De Manicure De Mlle. Fox. The interior revealed Frances Fox holding the hand of Carol Cone in her dainty fingers. Carol never had had the courage to propose to Frances and so this was as 'far as he ever got. I Now we see a very short figure wearing a tall silk hat with a primrose in the lapel of his immaculate evening suit. Bod Red- field, of all things. Bob looked as though he were a candidate for something or other. Oh, well, Bob always had had high ambi- tions. As this vision faded away a very heavy short iigure appeared, and leaning' upon his arm was a fair lady looking down into his face with loving devotion. ,How delightful Amy Frances Owens and Mark Loofbor- rowg and how odd Mark looked, wearing ,a wonderfully cut suit and a funny little Van Dyke on his fat chin. just so-things least expected very often happen. They seemed to be trying to decipher a newspaper clipping, and putting their heads together they got these items: It had been told by Dame Rumor that John Marshall, the great politician, was to be nominated for president, and the next cause for won- derment was whether Gwendolyn Hammet, the prominent social leader, or Dorothy Bloom, the famous toe dancer i-n Zeig- feld's Follies would be the next first lady of the land. Then appeared a Modiste Shoppe crowd- ed to the platform with fashionable men and women viewing a designer and her model. The model-Miss NeWaTa Winn, the designer--Margaret Whitehead. just think, Margaret and NeWaTa designed and-
