t} j f sjnrnn jJ v f u Gazing into the Crystal I see many a wondrous thing in the distant Future: NELLIE MALCOMB has just discovered a quick cleaner for white coats. GRACE ROGERS, MAXINE KIRKPAT¬ RICK and MARY FRANCES SHINABER- RY have set up a Lonely Hearts Bureau for Old Maids who want a short cut to Matrimony. Stepping from the fumes of his latest chemical experiment is ARTHUR PESCO- SOLIDO, with trembling hands and a quaking heart. HELEN SIMMONS is in shining glory, as a stand-in for Veronica Lake. NADA UNDERWOOD is lecturing a group of elderly ladies on “Beauty and Brains Do Mix.” On his Elk Cattle Ranch appears Rob¬ ert McLaughlin riding “Old Dan” on his last round-up. GARTH VANREENEN is returning from the Chicago Fair where he showed his prize ear of corn. DELMA KENNEDY will be a “Cook” in her modern kitchen, experimenting on ways to get out of it. BILLY JOE WILSON has become presi¬ dent of the “Toothpick and Splinter Co.” Sitting in his hunting lodge I glimpse LIGON KESLER, eagerly perusing the ex¬ citing chapters of “Peter Rabbit.” On a lonesome island I see LEWIS VAR¬ NEY teaching a group of native children. In her New York office B ETTY MOORE is found very busy psycho-analyzing a cat. FLORINE RICKETT and PAULINE PESCOSOLIDO are seen among the La¬ dies of London advertising “Right and Pleasing Cosmetics.” In the Nelson Shoppe I vision HAZEL JACKSON modeling “Clothes for Little Ladies.” AGATHA MILLER and NAOMI MOORE are operating the “Bakery of the Air”— they use yeast. Flashing into my vision are VIRGINIA LANTZ and BETTY WANLESS, man¬ agers of the famed “Killadoe Hunting Reservation” on Buckley Mountain. IVAN WILFONG can be seen practicing the Lucky Strike tobacco chant on his non¬ laying chickens. Seen in the “Easy on Your Corns” shoe store, is DOROTHY LEE WAUGH adver¬ tising Majorette boots. Visioned, ELEANOR SHARP, secretary to JULIAN SHRADER, president of the “Earth to Mars Taxi Service.” Dimly flashing into my view is JOANNE WHITT, still trying to find joy in reading “Tales from Shakespeare.” Now the visions are fast fading and 1 am able to tell no more. —BETTY MOORE.

r r i) Gazing into the Crystal I see many a wondrous thing in the distant Future: Ah, yes, MARY LOU CALHOUN, I see your “future” in a Ford. Through the mist FRANCES CURRY can be seen still posing for Glamour shots for “THAT” man. In the vision JOAN OVERHOLT is seen tearing her hair into fibers over her silk¬ worms that have just roasted. DAVID HIVELY is visioned filling out the long list of patent papers for his latest invention, a post-hole stretcher. In a Chicago Hospital I spy ROSALIE CHESNUT dressed in white, blinking her lashes at her wealthy patients. MABLE ROBINSON is seen in her Pittsburgh bungalow applying her knitting arts. At last, Max White has attained an en¬ vious position, Waterboy for the Cardinals. Seen in “Wave” uniforms are HAZEL DILLEY and LORRAINE ADKISON. Stewardess, HELEN ARMSTRONG is seen flashing her smile at IVAN WITH¬ ERS, pilot of the “Latin American Clip¬ per.” SUE BROOKS has at last settled down with one she can out-scream, out-talk, and out-law. And I catch a glimpse of GENE BEALE ■with a long list of tabulating paper, the expense of “Mighty Mouse.” The vision shows ELTON UNDER¬ WOOD and LEE HIVELY trying out their new invention, the car-o-plane, which elim¬ inates the curves to Hillsboro. ROBERT CARPENTER is seen with a lovely brunette oiling his back, which he blistered while digging potatoes in the noonday sun. WILMA CARR is visioned governing an orphanage of little children. CHARLES DILLEY is reclining in a hammock by the Greenbrier, with a new- type fishing pole which rings a bell when it catches a sucker. In a dither ANNA LEE DEAN is trying to decide whether to be a happy wife or a demure Old Maid. “SHOT” EADES has been runner-up in the Olympic games which consisted of jumping, running and biscuit throw. On a red bay LOIS ANN LaRUE is seen leading the one and only—“Hillsboro Rab¬ bit Chase.” Visioneed in a mist of fine laces, chif¬ fons, and velvets is TRUDA HIVELY. Below the waving palms of his Florida resort is “HERB” JOHNSON, reading the book, “Leisure Made Easy.” Strange as it may seem, this crystal vi¬ sions JEAN MOORE posing as a model for the famous Ooomph Girl. Quietly standing in her cottage door ANNA LEE LANDIS has learned “How to keep house and like it.” Arriving from a transcontinental flight is MERLIN PROVANCE, who has sprung to fame with his autobiography “The Si¬ lent Bachelor.”
