a handsome building set far back in a beautiful grove of trees, surrounded by a high steel fence. I was told that it was the old maids' home founded by some of my old classmates-Callie Bennett, Katherine Brunner, Claire Emswiler, Reba Harrell, Frances Koehler, and Carrie Price. This is a real Palace of Beautiesf' and the charms of the inmates are such that no man can resistg the result being that there are hundreds of hearts broken every year by those hard-hearted goddesses. I I also made visits to all my old classmates who had married. I found that every one of them had married Well and presided over pretentious homes of their own. Their ranks were made up of Preston Fowlkes, Mabel Hurst, Alma Huff, I-Iazel Hassam, Grace Pearman, and Ruth Rush. I am at last come to the most interesting part of my journey, a part that will bring exceeding joy to your despairing hearts. I saw a model high school, and it was model because it Wasrun by those who were best fitted to make it so. They were all members of the same class at a school that was far from model. The principal was Blake Crabill, A. B., A. M.g Emma Keister was vice principal. The faculty was composed of Virgie Amos and Beulah Drabble, Englishg Myrtle Chockley and Meredith Painter, mathematicsg Anna Penstermacher, chemistryg Elizabeth Marvel and Norborne Muir, Lating Sam Shumate, scienceg George Wfood, vocational trainingg Mayme Possin and Lloyd Engleby, foreign languagesg Mabel Garrison and Maude Crum- packer, instructors in the intangible maze of businessg Marguerite Schubert, director in the beautiful study of music.
