Nearby they came upon Harriet Kern, who, unlike her companion, was untouched with grief, and still Viewed life with as practical eyes as ever. She greeted them with her old-time enthusiasm and told them she was on the eve of departure for Wilmals wedding. That fortunate damsel had captured a German Count. ; The most prominent hgure in the Temple of Fame was Camilla Ringho-use. In a sea of manuscripts she lay prostrate at the feet of Calliope. It is said that for a long time she solicited the hard-hearted goddess, but it was not until the publication of her book, ilMy Lifef, that she gained success. Near her, at the feet of Euterpe, lay Ruth Stone, bowed in prayer,-the youngest inmate, according to a nearby tablet, of that famous place. At the opposite end of the Temple sat . Ruth Pawley on a luxurious, cushioned Chair, eagerly engaged on a bit of parchment which proved to be labeled ilRights t0 Oneis Opin- ions? liVVhatis become of Spicer ?ll asked Mr. Stott, whom the conversa- tion seemed to bore. ' lth V exclaimed Mr. Heslop, it'he is playing in Twelfth Night now. He made a great hit, taking'the part of Malvolio. Martha Kloninger played Viola. They brought down the house when Malvolio .eX- claimed, lFool, fool, I say? ,l liI say, have you seen Holden ?li exclaimed Stott. ilThe last time I was in Texas I came across him. He is running a farm where all worn-out athletes, prizehghters and the like may secure rest and recre- ation. Kadderly has his laboratory next to Holdenis farm. Trinkett Shafer is there on a visit now. Miss Shafer has just made one of the greatest discoveries in modern science, namely, that sulphur is com- posed of six elements, the names of which had hitherto been un- known? llAh, that reminds me of Mr. Armstronglli exclaimed Grout. llHe has been trying for the last twelve years to get a patent on an invention. ts object is to lessen the opportunities of shop-lifting? , Mr. Grout also disclosed the fact that Earl Pearcy, the editor of Puvcleis Magazine, was on the Socialist ticket for President of the United States. As this party has grown lately, Mr. P'earcy stands a very good chance of being elected. Mr. Girard Pierce, the cartoonist 0f the Journals funny paper, is accompanying Mr. Pearcy on his cam- paign tour. ,If Mr. Pearcy is elected, Mr. Pierce will probably be Secretary of State. It was then disclosed that Glen McCorkle, Bert Latz and Harry Ding were prosperous business men. Mr. McCorkle has become very prominent as manager of the Paris Manicuring Es- tablishment, and has become very successful in his business, on account of his very gallant attentions to the fair sex and his manners, which are so taking with the ladies. Mr. Ding, he said, was the head of the llRoyal Shoe Store? an which had become well known as the first to introduce the green shoes

During sessions of Congress, Ada May Bigger and Margaret McCabe sat in the ViSitOl'S, gallery to hear the speeches of their former schoolmate. Margaret McCabe has gained the epithet of the iWZVestern Authoressii through her prolific pen, while Ada May is a prominent hgure in the work of uplifting the crim- inals of the Nation. She is interested, moreover, invthe reform of the penitentiary, in which enterprise she has an able assistant in Eva Roche. iiBy the way? said Mr. Grout, iiWhatis become of Bonnie H. ?ii iiDonit you know ?ii asked Peddicord, laughing.

They had been abroad, on their honeymoon, he announced. While away, they had visited the British Museum and been startled to see two familiar faces among the famous portraits of the day, those of Ruth Beach and Lenora Hansen. They had posed as models for iiAmerican Girlhood? They were traveling around Europe together, and creating a furore wherever they went. While in Vienna, they had heard Ger- trude Ost and Fay Wise in grand opera.

Mr. Latz,s work as a poet has become so extenswe that he finds he must have a partner to help him. He has already wr1tten several poems, the best known of which is his llLay of the Night-Insp1red Poet? which reads thus: llI was standing on the road in the breezes . When an owl gave a hoot in the treezesf, At this point Mr. Peddicord interrupted, saying that there were several of our classmates who were doing good work in the educa- tional world. Nellie Meighan, he said, was the chairman of the Board of Education. Many notable reforms had been made during her ad- ministration, one of them being the abolishment of all examinations in the public schools. Another prominent leader was Ruth Lewis. She had become known as the author of the excellent school law, which states that llno pupil shall be out of school oftener than an average of twice a week? i . Here Mr. Grout again interrupted the conversation with his hearty ha hats. llYou dont know what Applels doing, do you? Mr. Apple holds the chair of History in the University of Oregon. To hear him grind out history, one would think itls the only good thing in lifefl Merle Young was mentioned as an assistant teacher of English Literature in the same college. Miss Young was especially loved be- cause of the kindness and consideration which she showed her pupils. ' The live gentlemen now retired to the club parlors. Here they were greatly surprised to find Jack Alexander and Mr. Gamble absorbed in a deep discussion. Mr. Alexander was president of the United States National Bank, while Mr. Gamble was the head of the Title Guarantee Trust Company. The two gentlemen had been considering the con- solidation of the two banks. Mr. Gamble had just returned from the East, where he had been looking over the linancial situation. While in Topeka, he one evening picked up the paper and beheld on the cover page the picture of Mabel Francis. Underneath it was written, llSoe ciety Girl Introduces Strange ResOlutionf, He found that this resolu- I tion was that llwo-men should not decorate themselveswith all kinds of gaudy ornaments and trinkets as the barbarians do, but should rely on the ornaments Nature gave them, namely, rosy cheeks and flowery smiles? Mr. Gamble had also met Jessie Young, head of the W-omen,s Col- lege of Baltimore. Under Miss Youngjs excellent supervision, it has grown to be one of the best colleges in the world for wOmen. With Miss Young was Hulda Parr, the head of the Department of Modern Languages in the University of Chicago. Both young ladies also were prominent members of'the Omnibuslingua Society, a new organization ' for spreading abroad the new universal language. In New York Mr. Gamble, on Visiting Central Park, one afternoon, came upon Addie Bowie and Elizabeth McCarthy, both seated upon a rustic bench. The former, he was informed, was editor of the Musical e-i v M t
