Paul and Carroll have gone into partnership on a wonderful dis- covery Which they made. They call it Anti-Fat. In their advertisements Paul poses as Before, and Carroll as After, and in large letters are printed these words: Look what it did for me. When the pastor had given his blessing to the happy pair and dismissed them, I started forward to offer my congratulations when suddenly everything became dim. The church faded from my sight. There was no sound except the whispering of the wind in the trees and I was alone. The caldron still smoked over the dying embers but nothing was left of my vision save the scattered, gray ashes of memory.

George said that he had only the day before received a letter from Edgar Howard who has a large ranch out West telling him that he was get- ting along fine and making money fast but that he was leaving for the East immediately, as he was anxious to see two of his old classmates who are now on the stage. They are now playing in New York and are considered the sensation of the season--Estelle Stanley and John Carr, the greatest come- dians since Charlie Chaplin.

No, indeed, why theylve been in love since they were school children together. The strains of l..ohengrin's Wedding March drew our attention again to the front and I recognized the organist' immediately as Lucille Garrett who has become famous in the musical world. ln fact, I knew the whole party, from the preacher, who was no other than John Wellford, to Harry Nash who rendered a beautiful vocal solo.

The bridesmaids were Josephine lVlinter, who is the same old Joe in spite of the many degrees after her name and the fact that she holds a prominent place in the Court of Spain as American Translatorg Emma Tinsley, who together with Virginia Wiltsee most ably represents Virginia in the United States Senateg and Elizabeth Comer, who has recently published a new Geometry giving sixty-nine ways to prove every proposition.
