you. After inquiring Within about this form of slavery, I found out that maestro, Philip Wilson, along with Professor William Thompson have gone into business with each other and are having a success. Phil teaches them the music, along With his playing in Carnegie Hall, and Bill takes the deviltry out of them before they go in to see the maestro Well all dreams must come to an end, sooner or later. A glass of extremely cold Water was the undoing of my dream and believe me, what a terrible ending. Anyhow, you have gained a pre-View of our lives and so judge yourselves accordingly. For the sake of the World's sanity, don't lead the lives that We have Written about.

I had been noticing quite a few signs advertising the best boarding house in town. Finally I came to that superlative structure and who do you suppose was running it? Why Phyllis Lake and Rosalind Carey, of course. Believe me, they have the best home-cooked meals in town. My wanderings have brought me back to the main street now, and I see some different shops, now. First of all, I noticed a quaint sign, Downy Rest, lnnerspring Mattresses proprietor, Patty Ann Hassenplug. I went in and talked to Pat for a little while, and I noticed that she seemed excited. Finally she asked me if I had seen the latest issue of Better Houses and Plots, and I told her that I hadn't. She was excited because the girl she roomed with had written an article about neat and clean housekeeping. Make a guess who it was. Why our own Velma Cole, of course! Flash! The Pink Pansy Bandit the D. A. was hunting has just been found. He turned out to be none other than lack Smith. It seems he went berserk trying to finish that Senior Will and Prophecy on time. He never quite recovered and was always playing practical jokes on Caroline and other people. Another of the new stores I saw, was the Elite Dress Shop. I went in there and saw to my surprise, Lois Iohnson and Shirley Keach. Vifhen they feel like it, they sell their creations to the big department stores in New York City. Mostly, however, they save their stunning creations for their old classmates to wear. The girls had one queer hat there that I noticed, and I asked them what it was for. They said that it had an installed pocket to carry a leash, which the wives could snap onto their husbands, to keep them from running away. Two doors down the street, I saw the sign, Elocution Lessons inquire within. So, I inquired within, Cbeing a trusting soull and I found Barbara Gaiss. She plans shortly to begin a series of discussions about the country on the subject Learn to read. You too, can be happy. If this tour is a success Barbara plans to go on a world-wide speaking tour. Finally, I came to the circus that was in town, and it was there that I gained the biggest surprise of the entire trip. There was Charmaine Claxton, leading the parade in her drum majorette costume. It was really worth a second look, tool After the parade, I asked her how she happened to join the circus. Then she told me Cin strictest confidencel that she had promised to marry two men back home. She couldn't marry two men because that would be bigamy, so she decided to run away. The beautiful and skilled bareback rider in the circus was Audrey Hi--yo Crumm. 'I-ler love of horses and different men caused her to become a performer in the circus, because of its constantly shifting location. In the circuses, they no longer have Lucky Teeter, they now have Skillful Baird. He specializes in the wrecking of old station wagons. He comes roaring off a ramp twenty feet high, sticks out his arms on each side of the car, flies along a bit and then hits the ground. Then the car blows up, catapaults him out of the seat for a distance of about two thousand feet and th-en he comes floating down on a parachute. Quite an act, eh? Coming out of this circus, I looked across the street and saw a store that bought and sold music. Out in front ,is the sign- Piano Lessons with the slogan, You bring them in, we'1l teach them no matter what the cost to
