2? N N 1? .19 if ET lv. 'I VERYBODY knows what great progress and advancement have been made in the use of airships and aeroplanes in the last iifteen years, how they have caused a revolution and re-adjustment of worldly matters and affairs. VVho would have thought in 1910 that the airship and aero- plane would become the common mode of travel, that they would make the best form of pleasure trips? Ah! but now in the year Anno Domino 1920, things have so changed, that the use of the once popular automobile has declined, street cars ha've almost disappeared, the air ship craze is on. It Was June, 1020, and my friend and I had a short vacation, in which to rest and to forget the dreary routine of work. Going to an air ship livery, we hired a machine to take a short pleasure trip. The Weather was ideal and the air exhilarating. While still on this trip, I suddenly conceived the idea of taking an extended tour of the world. We descended to earth, made thorough preparation for the trip, and finally started on our cruise, the most novel and exciting ever undertaken in an aeroplane. I Heading southward, we soon came over Indianapolis, the state capi- tal. We looked around some time in vain, when whom should we see through a windowbut our old school-mate, Agnes Little. She was sitting in the office of her husband, who was the owner tor the presidentl of the great Union Traction Company. Who would have thought we would have run upon her here? - Heading straight east, we traveled many hours when we came in sight of Harvard College. We were passing over this place unsuspect- ingly, when my attention was attracted by a dapper, little gentleman whose figure looked familiar. Looking closer, I saw Mr. Theodore Sawyer, Esq., philosopher and professor. How dignified and prepossess- ing our old i'Theo looked! After cruising around awhile over eastern America, we started to Europe hoping to reach that country, as we did, in two days. We stopped at Paris, France, where it was evident that immense preparations were being made for some important event. Upon arriving, whom should we see, but Victor Roudebush, alias Daredevil Aviatorft sitting in a z

strange looking machine. Then it was, that I remembered of having read about his great invention of a craft, which would go many miles a second. Now this daring fellow was starting on a trip to Mars! What a genius! Sailing on eastward, we arrived at Cologne, where we found Albert Tucker just getting a patent on a HullH-ing Machine, which he had in- vented. Upon talking with Tuck,'7 we found that he was enthusiastic over his discovery. He said he was making great progress therein, and the public sympathy was with him. Congratulations, Albert! Close by in Augsburg, we discovered Ruth Caca just finishing a course in one of the great universities of Germany. Upon her graduation from this school, she will have had all the education and culture which it is possible to obtain. Now, upon the request of a Call, she is writing a book on 'cDomestic Happinessj' and other things on highf' As she is noted for using long, ponderous words, be sure to get a Webster's Dic- tionary when you get this volume. Going on to Berlin, we found Margaret Mott, just getting her degree from the best art school in the city. She is now recognizedithe world over as the best artist' living. Ever since she did such good designing in the Art Class of Nineteen Eleven, I knew she had a great future before her. Going back again to Monte Carlo, we suddenly found S'Chalkie,' Nash presiding over the Do Nothing Club. He said he was aspiring to be president of the 4'Never Sweatsj' and the goal was in view. He said he was leading a comfortable life here by playing cards. Close by we found Raymond Wise, falias Cat or Ivory-topwi famous the world over as a pool shark, being re-nominated as the presi- dent of the 4'Ivory Club. The world was serving him well as he was getting fat- still as droll as ever. Traveling eastward, we stopped at a small village in China, looking at the sights and strange people. Someone touched me on the shoulder and turning I beheld-L'Van Jenkins. I learned that she had obtained a divorce from her husband, Mr. HBud Hare, and wishing to wipe out the sad remembrance, had come as missionary to the benighted heathen. The world has read of her great work and knows how devoted she is to the cause. Sailing southward and west again, we came to Palestine, where we beheld Gladys Keiser and Gladys Metsker traveling on a continental tour, making collections and seeing the people. Already they had mastered fourteen languages! Just now they were intensely interested in visiting the scenes of the early historical heroes. Going on southward we came to Egypt, stopping at Alexandria. Our attention was attracted by a great noise and confusion, and running to the scene we were just in time to rescue two old friends, Augusta Wod- dell and Daisy Bartholomew, from the pranks of the town boys and girls.
