Just then a flash brought a square with Schuyler Hibbard, g hypnotist and magician, trav- eling in the remote parts of Africa trying to show the na- tives how to take handker- chiefs out of derby hats. I was informed next that Gertrude Yarnell had grad- uated in Domestic Science from Cornell in the hope of making a good impression on a young- man with the same name as the said college., A square now showed a man standing before a parrot try- ing to .teach it something 'or other. Beneath the picture 1 read, Frank Peterson is try- ing to teach parrots how to stutter. Next I read that Lawrence Ansley is making macaroni out of angle worms and then sell- ing it to the unsuspecting pub- lic. Geraldine Beach had won- derfully followed her' high school start in dramatics for the next square showed her, a broadway star in the success of the season, My Next Hus- band. The next square quickly changed places with this and in its confines I saw a large crowd before a tent, 'apparent- nia Yankee ly at a fair. A man was yell- ing at the top of his voice at the crowd before him. By reading the lines below, I learned that William Quenan was broadcasting to the crowd that within the tent was the most famous and smallest midget in the world, John Mc- Auliffe. Admission, thirteen cents. - . The following picture show- ed a lady studying hard about something, and a huge tele- scope stood by her side. I read that Thora Christensen, renowned astronomer, is now trying to find which planet is' closest to the earth outside of Mars, because Margaret Hall, a planet explorer, wishes to know to which planet she will next go in her flights about the universe. 1 , The following square show- ed a street in the town of Italy Hill, and a large sign before one of the stores- read, For Cleaning and Pressing, Bring All Your Clothes to the Tay- lor Boys.

The fact that her father was dead and that her mother was not able to do much to heln her, had forced her to earn her own college money. At last she had gained it and was ready to start her studies at the University of Learning. as she phrased it. At the College she met and became a very close friend of Edith, Mary and Joan. whosefathers were Wealthy and could well afford to but them through the insti- tution. One evening there was a movie that Judy wished very much to see and for which she had been denying herself a fevv comforts, that she might be able to go.. That day in her Greek class, she had not been able to do some translation and she had double work to do gg., in that lesson for the next day. Judy had decided that her studies amounted to more than the movies so she told the other girls that she really could not go with them in the evening. 4 Why not, asked Mary, a tone of disappointment creep- ing into her voice. Because I failed in my Greek recitation today and T must make it up, answered fludy, her eyes swelling with tears. The other girls understood that she wished to be alone, and left the room, Wondering within themselves why such .- small things, as they termed it, could take the enjoyment out of their evening together.
