Her picture is often found on the covers of popu- lar magazines, sketched by the noted French cartoonist, Monsieur Mauritzeauz, her hus- band, So much was expected of Earl Dragoo, he being suchf a talented young man in music, an excellent debater and having a love for politics, that he wasl the topic of dis- cussion for months when he 'eloped in an aeroplane with one of Poseyvillcfs most popular young ladies. They now reside in Hollywood-by-the-Sea in Florida and are operating one gf Hollywoods new bathing Casinos. Tiring of farm life, Thomas Price and Carl Flener, as Mutt and Jeff, are making a great hit on Keith's Circuit. Mutt's life is like a fried egg, sunny side up and Jeff's is like a dictionary, where grief is always followed by joy. Cavett Knowles accompanied by Alma Garrett journeyed to Bethany, Nebraska the home of 'Un-Covered Wagon' where Cavett helped direct this wonderful play, now famous in story and on the screen. Returning to the city, Cavett stepped into Al John- son's shoes and is a success in the Follies, while Alma is delighting Fifth Avenue with her latest ball-room dances. Alva Riley is billed at the New Star Theatre on Main St. Owensville, as the most famous European Juggler of the world, making his first American tour. The bill- board has been proved correct for he held his audience dizzy-eyed while he revealed the six steps in the evolution of jugglery. To juggle six plates is wonderful, to juggle seven is a master's feat, but Alva broke the world's record and juggled eight. An astonishing invention of an unbreakable shoe string has just been completed by Harvey Hurst. His speeches, made from town are entitled,'You come, you see, you buy.' He comes before the public frequently and is a noted leader, especially in leaving street cars and crowded buildings. John Jean is still trying to find a 'pony' that will carry students through Caesar Cicero and Virgil without leaving them at the post when test is given. Mr. Jean thinks he will make a fortune if he succeeds. l Alice Montgomery is a professional chaperone at Oxford college for women. She is available at all times of the day or evening to watch over the young people at their innocent play. To sound dignified, she insists that she be called Madam lgnaty Whilo- whiska.

Goody, goody, a show! Please let me run and see where it's to be. Although I have a large family, I still love excitement and my curiosity is roused by new comers, a possession left mefrom childhood, which my own children inherit. Upon investigation I discovered it to be Madam Putavallizsky, a woman so en- dowed that she is famous all over the world because of her ability to disclose the past, tell of the present and predict the future. She had never been known to fail in her pre- dictions. . Sitting before our fire that evening in our suburban home' and reading a letter that my husband brought me from my old class mate, Dierdra Mae Croodson, who has been queen of the footlights for eleven years and is making her fortune by her face, I learned she was retiring to spend the remainder of her life on the Pollard. farm near Owensville. What surprises one gets when separated from old friends. After reading her newsy letter I had a desire to know what the rest of my classmates were doing. My husband suggest- ed I visit Madam Putavallizsky. This I decided to do that very next day, so before retiring, I took my high school annual and fondly turned the leaves that are now so worn and again I read the contents. The next morning I made my way to Madam Putavallizsky's tent. I persuaded the beautiful seer fby crossing her palm with silver, to tell me what she could of my former classmates and how they were being treated by the cold, cold world. I proudly opened my Kickapoo of '26 and as she looked upon each dear face, the brilliant mind brought to my eager ears what I for years had longed to know. Madam's' voice was deep and musical and very pleasing to the ear and she laugh- ed softly to herself as she began, Have you noticed the many air holes in the candy of the Barnett Candy Co.? Chester, the son, is the industrious worker who punches them. Mariam Barnette has startled all Broadway society by resigning from her posi- tion as director of the New York Symphony Orchestra where she has met with brilliant success for the past five years. She is now an exclusive laundress, treating only the finest fabrics, her earnings she gives to a charitable institution. As a laundress she is the great- est traveler on record, as she crosses the Iine and goes from pole to pole. . Clare Boren does odd jobs for anyone. He is considered a handy man about town and has a very pleasing manner with him and can brighten things' up wonderfully for his friends, especially silverware, if he has a good polish. He goes on errands for busy housewives and substitutes for gentlemen at formal social affairs. QM alex:-.-acvvvve lvVVVOD'n'l3I f V V24 it Page Twenty Four 'J

This factory is look- ed upon with favor by high school students. It takes a quick ear to catch all the sport gossip these days. For instance, there- was a story 'runnin' wild' that Harry Keneipp, the basketball coach of the 'Fanthom Five' of Leland Stanford, had given up his position, the work proving too strenuous. Don't believe all you hear and only half you see for I prophesy? that l'larry's team will soon be the world champions. Arvid Montgomery has made many wonderful inventions and discoveries, but he became renowned overnight by perfecting a chewing gum that can be thoroughly en- joyed without motion of the jaws. V Dorothy Mae Pegram, the captain of the 'Old Maids Basketball Team' which is made up of members who refuse to do their daily dozen any other way, has now ire- signed since her oftrepeated prophecy, that she would always remain an old maid was not fulfilled. It takes a genuine genius to keep out of marriage. Winfred Pegram was looking for a most approved method of making a fortune so he bought a canning factory and makes automobiles. At last, in his garage at John- son, Indiana, he has perfected his invention of a noiseless cutout. Myrtle Ritenour, at a very early date, followed the worn and beaten tracks whose signposts are 'Miss, Minister, Mistressf She is a very successful business woman and owns the 'Rose Shadows', a most beautiful dancing pavilion, situated by the dreamy waters of Lake Michigan just a few miles from the Ashloe Lake Club. A school for girls has been started by John Newton called the 'Beauty Culture College'. So far he has an enrollment of one hundred three fair damsels and three hundred applicants. The limit is two fifty. He finds the girls are nearly all of the common type, being either Hirts, peaches or vamps. As educational interests offer nothing new in the line of females, John in the future will be a traveling pencil sharpener. Robert Selby has become' an undertaker. He has engaged his son, Bobbie Jr., to augment his business by furnishing him with a high. powered car and instructionsi for getting victims. Robert loses sleep continually because his customers age so slowly. Every twelve months only adds a year to their lives. Maereta, Simpson, grown weary of club work has adopted tennis for a hobby. With Prentice Hurt she leavcs this evening by Aero Way for Madrid, Spain, where the two American stars will enter the world's tennis tournament tomorrow. Norman Smith was twice nominated for president but his radical speeches failed to have any effect upon the public. He is now one of the truant officers at Owensvillb.
