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.
