Yes, the charm is working for I see the Mori-isonville theatre, overcrowded with eager, expectant faces. The curtain rises and I hear a beautiful voice. It is Clara Adkins and what a charming picture she makes. She now turns a smiling face to someone in the 'box on the right, Why, of course, there is Robley. How quickly everything has changed! Here is a group of strange foreign-looking people, kneeling upon the ground. Who is that in their midst? Carlton Greenleaf and he is preaching the life of Christ to this group of heathen Japanese. How eager they seem and how happy Carl looks! Now the group of foreign people have disappeared and in their places are little children playing upon a beautiful lawn. There with them is Alice Brown. She is conducting a children 's playground during the summer months. They seem Well satis- fied with Alice, and too, she is happy. The scene has now completely changed. 'Tis a Californian beauty parlor, furnished in the latest style. A famous movie actress, Bow, in in the chair and I see a resemblance to one of the Class of Clara slight '29 in the young lady who is waiting upon her. Yet, it is none other than Floris Wit-

X 24 THE CADUCEUS ham, yet she is very tall and looks as though she weighed about 160. Here is a wide stretch of road, on the left an open iield where several large cars are parked and many tents are pitched. It is a gypsy colony. People are walking about, how hideously they are dressed in all kinds of gaudy colors! That fellow looks natural, he is Aldro Flint, but dressed differently from the rest. Of course, he is their Gypsy Prince! I Behind the Professor's desk in one of New York 's largest high schools stands Freddie Paul. He is one of the most famous history professors known and is making a remarkable success. He is 11ot teaching this subject for a living, but because of his great love for it. The students are very much interested, and he has perfect order in his class. The school room has faded and now ap- pears in its place a brilliantly lighted home in Chicago. It is a wonderful home and the rooms within give all the appearances of a jolly time. There are men and women beautifully dressed in evening clothes. And now I see the hostess receiving her guests. She is no other than Dolly Saunders. Oh! How sweet and happy she looks! She must have not only her money, but her man too. Again the scene changes to dear old Nor- way High, to the New High School build- ing. In the Aggie room the class is being conducted by Alpheus Jackson. Just now he is putting some eggs into the incubator and giving the boys instructions. And now I see coming up the walk Har- la11 Whitman. Well, well, Harlan has a kit in his hand. So he is a traveling sales- man? Why, no, he is coming back to Nor- way High School to repair the old type- writers. He 's a wonder at that line. Well, what can this mean, a group of at- tractive college girls assembled on the cam- pus. Thcre is a fellow talking to them. He looks very embarrassed and uncomfortable. Would you ever dream it? It is Lewis Knightly! He is trying to persuade the girls to buy some of his super quality silk stockings and underwear. Before me now appears a little home-- stead in Graustark. Everything around looks odd until I see the interior of the house. Oh how American it looks! There is she, that was Betty Sanborn, preparing a dinner in a cozy little kitchen. I hear a Chevrolet approaching and who should en- ter the house, but Harold Millett. He is in the strange land to teach the natives our modern game of baseball. What can this mean? An operating room in a11 enormous hospital. Has someone of the class been injured? No, it tells me that Helena Wentworth is a noted nurse, for she is here assisting one of America's lead- ing surgeons. And in this same hospital is so1neo11e else very famous in this work. Mae McAllister, the head nurse of the en- tire hospital. They are surely a successful pair. Why this is in Washington, D. C. and the scene is the White House. I now see within this attractive abode a tall, fine-looking man writing at his library desk. And on the paper I see written President 's Inaugural Address. Yes, the President of the United States is Clarence Tucker. In another room is a tall stately lady reading to two small children. Wilma looks proud, happy and eve11 more superb than ever. She is having a wonderful career as first lady of the lalld. What a lot of apparitions I've seen to- night. Now it is an office in London. On the door in large gilt letters is printed, P. L. Brown Sa Co., Shipbuilders. Paul is seated at his desk. The door opens and Mike Cummings comes tripping in. He hands Paul a paper. I can see that it is a con- tract to build the largest ship in the world. Without a moment 's hesitation, Paul signs it. He is a real wonder. There is where practice did make perfect. Now the scene is a class, in a private school, being conducted by Harry Smith.
