class Prophecy Last night, as I sat thinking of the class reunions we hope to enjoy together in the future, I found myself imagin¬ ing the result if, at some given date, say ten years from now, every member of the class should be too busy to attend the reunion. That would, of course, be rather discouraging to the chairman of the committee, unless she, also were too busy to attend. But I thought, how interesting if on the morning of the reunion each absentee sent a telegram in which was stated the sender’s occupation and reason for absence. I became so engrossed in the idea that 1 even pictured to myself the exact wording of the telegrams the various people would send. Would you like to read them. Living in Villamont. Just bought a new Chrysler. Can’t afford to buy the gas to get to the reunion. CLAUDINE BRAMLETT Leading dramatic soprano Metropolitan and Chica¬ go Opera Companies. Substantial, but not fat. Sing Mar¬ guerite tonight. DOLORES COFFMAN Am proprietor of Ye Beautifier Shoppy—alterations while you wait. Can’t make the party. I have a customer still waiting. JOYCE COOK Keeping a pet shop. Specialize in eels, ichneumons, and elephants. Sorry can’t come tonight; expecting new shipment of Japanese beetles. KAREN COX Secretary. Mispelled a word. Boss is making me find it in the dictionary. How does he expect me to find it if I can’t spell it. I’ll still be looking tonight. HELEN CUSTER As an astronomer, am studying the heavens at sea¬ shore with beautiful girl assistant. Star-gazing date to¬ night.
