5 ' RHEA MOORE. . Oh, I am so tired. Behold Winnifred! Our mathematics shark who can easily crack the baek bone of any example extant.

CLASS PRQPIHIIECY., A tall shadowy form appeared above what had been the resting place of the ghost of the 1909 class. Itpwon't do, said the ghost looking down at the wide crack in the ground, I couldn't wait for the live years to go by before coming back and seeing what the future had brought forth for all the 1909 girls. As it stood thinking of which way it should go another ghost, tired and sadfaced came up. You'1l give up the. search it said, I have been looking for my girls over a year and am now returning to my grave with part of the task uncompleted. The ghost of 1909 having known the class did not continue the subject but asked anxiously, Have you seen any of the 1909 girls in your journeying ? Yes, was the reply and the ghost listened attentively to the directions given as to where one of the girls had been seen. s The place was soon reached and the ghost was surprised td see a large crowd gathered around the entrance to a public building. The doors were being closed and a man was calling through a megaphone Not even standing room left, lecture will be repeated tonight. The ghost drifted in through the small opening of the door and looking around saw Louise Betts gesticulat- ing widely from the platform of the au- ditorium. Upon going closer the subject of her discourse was found to be, Brav- ery of the Confederate Soldiers and Wrongs done the South. Yes it over- heard in passing two men who were dis- cussing the lecture, The cause for which the money is being used may be a good one, but do you really think that cats need a home founded for them ? The ghost passed out and was going down the street when a woman's voice caused it to stop. The owner of the voice proved to be Ethel Allen who was walking with an obedient looking man. They soon entered a house and the ghost found that Ethel had married soon after her graduation and settled down to a quiet, domestic life. The day being quite warm the ghost rested a while and did not reach another place of interest until about 3:30. It was jefferson City, the home of Mary Clay. The ghost passed through the streets of the capital but saw few people as the heat was so intense. When the Clay home was reached it saw Mary dressed as for a walk and looking pensively at a picture of a young man in a military suit. The ghost suddenly remembered that it was Thursday and murmuring force of habit passed on. On the street corner stood a man read- ing a newspaper. Looking over his shoulder the following notice could be read-Miss Lois Dale has returned from abroad where she has been furthering her study of foreign dances, to fill engage- ments in the East. During six months of every year she in company with Miss Louise Keene who has a millinery estab- lishment on Fifth Ave., New York, go South to their bungalow in the Ozarks where they live a life of seclusion, no men being allowed within the gates. So two more have realized their ambitions thought the ghost, but what is this enormous building? It covered an entire block and the sign Largest Wholesale Grocer House in The Southwest, was
