glimpse of a picture of a woman, one which I seemed to recognize. Below were the words, Carmen Metropolitan Grand Opera Stock Company, featuring Miss Lora Hinton in the title role. Presently Lora herself came out of the theatre and entering a taxi gave directions to the chauffeur. They stopped before a brightly lighted apartment. From one of the windows hung a large sign, which read: EDNA SHELBY, NYORLD RENOVVNED BEAUTY SPECIALIST. Any color or style of beauty, golden brown or black hair, curled or straight, made to your liking. Rosy cheeks and bright eyes. NEWLY DISCOVE-RED ELIXIR OF YGUTH. The fountain of youth so vainly sought by Ponc de Leon has been found by Edna. I next saw in the large, black headlines of a leading newspaper that James Alexander, New Richmond's famous basketball center, has been chosen as private barber to the King of England. I was certainly glad to hear of such good fortune for jim. I now saw approaching a crowd of jolly young girls, laughing and chatter- ing, on their way to some summer resort. In the midst of these was one who seemed to be the favorite. She, the young chaperone, proved no other than Ruby Dick, the young and highly respected matron of a famous girls' school in Chicago. Next there appeared signs and posters which told of the remarkable suc- cess of a certain young evangelistic singer-Harry McNeil. It told how general reformation of the wicked city was being accomplished through his influence. After hearing him, his one-time classmate, Ruth Oppy, had decided to enter for- eign Helds and devote her life to the education of the little heathens. Through her gentle influence much long hoped for good can be accomplished. The next picture showed our favorite punster and writer of verse, Frank Myer, not in the poverty of an unappreciated famous poet, but a rich and infiuen- tial banker, smilingly lending and taking money from various citizens. Last of all I saw myself-Maude Foster-attired in a white Domestic Science cap and apron. Now, dear reader, whether I was teaching this sciencd to the young li Jpeful of New Richmond, or simply cooking for two, I leave to your 11Tl3.g1IlZi'iOl1. After paying and thanking the lady of mystery, I walked once more out into the sunlight of the every-day world. I hope fate will be kind and hold in store a future as bright or brighter than that portrayed in the wonderful crystal. M. R. F., '15. iw: MFATE f X 1- I 9 A wig D!

I I I Sm 0112155 ,nphwg 'Kara NE morning, after many weeks if hard labor, I found my name among Qi ' the winners of the Star's Panama-Pacihc Exposition contest. Imagine my joy to find such a pleasant and profitable vacation awaiting me. m' Une beautiful morning I started from Indianapolis with several other girls. After a very pleasant trip I arrived at San Francisco. I immediately went to the hotel, where I decided to restguintil the next day. The following morning I arose very early and went to the exposition. ' ' One day my eyes were attracted to a sign which read as follows: f'Madam Zenoski, VVorld's Famous Clairvoyantf' Upon entering the place, which -was very dimly lighted, everything was a confused blur. It seemed as thoughrI had entered a house of the old Orient. Rich oriental hangings and draperies decbrated the room. On a whole an air of mystery pervaded the scene, and itageemed as though I had stepped from this world of reality into the regions of fairyland por- trayed in the 'fArabian Nights. So, prepared for anything unusual, I was not at all surprised to see, half reclining, half sitting, 'on a clivanmg-ixvomap. She was clad in heavy draperies and a veil concealed her face, but her voice possessed that rich musical quality which made me feel that its possessor could not be anything but beautiful. Perhaps she was a princess escaped from fairyland-who knows? In her hand shi held and seemed to be gazing intently' into a small, clear object which looked as though it were made of glass. As I apgroached she-placed this upon a'small table and beckoning me to come forward she pointed into thQ'crystal and said, Look , p I , At first I could see nothing, but soon objects began to come and go in the glass. These soon began to assume the form of people. It seemed that I was with my classmates once again. There first appeared to my fascinated gaze a vast' throng of people, a hurrying, excited crowd, all headed for the same destination. The scene changed, next showing the interior of a large gymnasium. Pennants and ribbons were waving in the air. However, I soon understood I was to witness a basketball game between Harvard and Yale. So interested was I in the game I did not pay special attention to the players. First one team would score, then the other, and intense excitement prevailed. At last the score was tied, IO to Io, and only three more minutes to play. Both teams put forth every effort, each -de- termined to win. Breathless, I clinched my hands when one tall lad caught the ball, hurled it into the basket, and a score was made for the blue and white. Immediately he was hoisted on the shoulders of the Yale men and borne away in triumph. At last I caught a glimpse of his face. Imagine my joy to see that the hero of the day was Mac Davisson. Before I had completely regained my composure I beheld what appeared to be a hall, to which sick and wounded men were being carried. Inclirectly I was to view some of the horrors of the European war. I: ease men were being.. administered to and cared for by efficient nurses and surgeons. Onel nurse espe- cially attracted my attention. She was a small girl with light curls,pe'Gping from beneath her cap. She seemed oddly out of place among such grewsoine surround- ings, but I saw by the nods of approval from the doctors, and patients' smiles as she passed, that her ability was greater than her size. Then, as she turned to consult a passing physician, I saw an unexpected meeting. For Ethel, Dunn and Squire Cunningham, having quarreled a few weeks before, had decided, unknown to one another, to devote their lit. ' 1.1 caring for the sick and wounded. The scene next showed thc FfICCtS of a busy metropolis. Pegsple hurried here md there in all directions. Suddenly everyone seemed to stand still and gaze in 1 certain direction. There appeared a band of women, all marching. De- termination and strength of plirpose was written on each countenance. Do or die seemed to be their motto. A brass band preceded the processiqn, composed of women only. Next followed the lady who seemed to be their leader. I nearly laughed aloud when I recognized her to be Lela Hannamalt. Slneybore aloft: a Haniing banner, bearing the words, Votes for women. I learned afterward that through her influence on the I-'resident of the United States-Harry McMillin-- woman suffrage was established. I was next viewing the exterior of a large theatre. Hundreds of people were pushing in every effort to gain entrance. As the crowd parted I caught a .WJ ' uv .- Page Sew eu teen
