CLASS PROPHECY Welcome to the inner room of the studio of Madame Zaza Palmistry Expert. Lo and behold, but what have we here? It is Commencement Eve and these six have come seeking to have the Madame lift the veil of the future and reveal the fate of each. Edith Williams is summoned into the presence of the all seeing Madame Zaza. After crossing the Madame's palm with silver, Edith's hand is seized. Making a thorough sur- vey of the palm the Madame speaks: I see--I see this young lady perched on a high hill in the midst of a tobacco patch with the dark and muddy waters of the overflowing Ohio Riv- er swirling at her feet. You have returned to your 'Old Kentucky Homen for relaxation from strenuous stenographic duties in the office of the pepper magnate, Peter Piper. Oh yes!! NPeter Piper's pickled peppersn are to be found on every well set table. As Edith passes from the inmost chamber, Leona Leathem fearfully crosses the threshold into the future. The Madame smiles as she begins this reading. I behold a modest sign over a doorway WLook Lovely With Leona.W I open the door and peer through the steam to discover Myriads of stewing women being carefully guided along the rough road to beauty Overseeing this vast operation is Lady Leona herself.An ex- citing array of cosmetics has recently made its debut to the American Woman. Ladies from far and wide are flocking into exclusive stores to purchase Lady Leona Powders and Perfumes. Leona, happily emerges from her audience with Madame Zaza and guides a doubtful Dale Hensel into the very great unknown. The Madame frowns slightly as she scans this gentlemen's palm. She seems bewildered and asks a question. WYoung man, what is your ambition? Dale, after some deliberation replies, WI dunno.W The Madame closes her eyes and concentrates. At last she speaks: Two roads lie before you. At the end of one, paved with, indolence and indecision, I see you, a weary and discouraged old man leaning on a fence rail. What has happened? No, don't tan me!! I see it all now, you are asked if you would like to receive the inheritance from your millionaire unc1e's es- tate. Your answer: I dunno sent 298,000,000 into the treasury of the home for nAiling Airedales.W The opposite road leads to the position of leading farmer of your dis- trict. Students from all over the country have made their way to this model farm. Flt is up to you, sir,N thus say- eth the Madame.
