L.-Oh, I know,-it must be Miss Cole, who is the leader of the W'omen's Brass Band, which has been touring the world. for the past five years, practicing. B.-And she has taken rooms just opposite our office. Well, we'll see that she does her practicing some other time. L.-I second the motion. Nevertheless all that practicing results in some fine music. Don't you agree? B.-CNods assent. Picks up unopened letter, tears open and readsj Here is an answer to one of the For Sale Ads. It reads: I wish to buy the rocking chair offered for sale along with the other old junk that the S. H. S. has offered for sale. I want to keep it as a remembrance of meals I en- joyed while occupying this particular chair. Very respectfully, MR. HARRY GOLDY. L.-How perfectly absurd, but 1 can't recall what it all means. B.-Why, don 't you remember 'way back in the Senior year of our old school days he always had a fondness for rocking chairs, especially at the noon hour when he took his dinner? And he used all kinds of means to get that particular chair before any- one else. fThey both laughj. L.--Well, guess that ends our work for the day. Q By the way, B., do you realize it is twenty years today since we joined forces in this newspaper venture? B.-Impossible, I don't feel that old yet! L.-Nevertheless 'tis true. You remember we had some diiiculty on account of the antipathy of the people toward a paper edited by women? B.-Yes, but they seem to be reconciled to it now. Of course, that constitutional amendment granting woman suffrage was quite a booster to us at the critical moment. Ii.-Yes, and furthermore our paper has a circulation at present rivaled only by the New York Sun. B.-Let's celebrate. L.-What shall wc do? CClock strikes 4 p. m.j Goodness Gracious! I just hap- pened to think of our engagement at 4:30. We surely will have to do some hustling. B. VVl1ere? Oh, yes, Hope Leeper's studio tea Kas she puts on her wraps and gathers her belongingsj L.-We can talk over old times as well as art with Hope, and we'll end our cele- bration with a little party at the new Metropolitan, where Madam Berlin, our old friend, Mabel, sings. B.-That will be fine! CTurns and both sayj Au Revoir, dear old oflice! pale thirty-one

country school until she entered S. H. Sf as a Sophomore. Graduating from there with great fame, she sojourned to New York, where she took up Grand Operag but her voice being naturally weak, failed entirely in a short time. Francis Fisher, successor to Belasco, her first manager in Grand Opera, gave her up with great relucta.nce. She then tried moving pictures and became the star of the Movies. CBoy arrives with eablegramj L.--QOpens it, reads, sighs joyfullyj then: Say, B., can you make a good front page and red letter story out of this? Creadsjz Miss Mary Bustard, while traveling in Europe, kidnaped by Gypsies. Rescued by Crown Prince of Poland, who was traveling in disguise. Resulted in romance-wed- ding date not yet announced. B.-That surely will take the town by storm. CPhone rings. B. hurriedly answersj O, yes, H. S. Observatory. Cecil Chessman has found valuable ways of using volcano gasg great discovery-much fame--to be sure 1'll make it up in good form, By the way, has Clarence Farr found the right place to set the world so he can blow it up? No? Well, that is too bad. Eh? What? Oh, he says he still has hope? Well, 1'm glad to hear it. Yes. Good-bye! CB. writes busily for several minutes, at last L. asksj : L.-Say B., did you attend the Chautauqua last night? B.-Yes, and I have to make a column out of it, too, but that will be easy, for Nellie Lewis spoke several pieces in dialect and was vastly appreciated. Then there was a lecture by the well known historian, Dorothy Lease, who has just completed a twenty- six volume work of Exploits of Bacon Down the Mississippi. L.-And, by the way, I forgot to tell you the Gearhart Circus will arrive here some time next month. The manager, Mr. Gearhart, is a famous mandolinist and uses his talent in a thrilling scene, where he charms a lion and ravenous cobra into submission. There seem to be a great many celebrities in the troupe. One, Glenn Bates, is a favor- ite clown, who produces much laughter through his ability to stumble over all obstacles in his path. It is said he gained this ability by practicing on the study hall floor while a Freshman. Another, Leah Burton, has become quite a famous tight-rope walker. Some ay she showed signs of genius along that line while in high school, by her well balanced remarks in History IV. B.-Well, we sure will have to push that, and see it also. L.-INell, speaking of old friends, I met John Cavanaugh just the other day. He said J. Rockefeller, Jr., had just given him the contract to construct a gigantic bridge connecting America and Europe for the Rockefeller family's private use. He says that he expects to make some money on it, and at the christening he will take a honeymoon trip across the bridge as a special concession from his employer. B.-That's great news. I hear that Russell Campf is still working on a reflector which, when finished and applied to his hair, will eliminate all need of matches, flash lights, and electricity in his home. L.--Those items surely will attract attention. l will give them plenty of space. B.-VVhat did you say about society? L.-I said your society column was so meagre this season I made it a little longer than usual. l think with this important headliner it won't be so bad, Creadsi: It is said that Miss Dorothy Fox has decided to be a missionary in order, to test her ability as a charmer on the natives of Borneo. From her marked ability so much in evidence in her high school days her friends have no doubt as to her success in for- eign fields. B.-Here's another item of interest which goes with tonight 's issue: Misses Edith Lentz and Augusta Snyder, former secret serviceiagent in the employment of Mexico, have started on a walking trip around the world, which they expect to accomplish in l91Q days.
