SPENCERIAN Prophecy I find myself in Paris, one of my dreams of school-days having come true, and I am here on one of my frequent trips, buying for the Nouvel Faconsl' shop on 5th Avenue, New York City, which Helen Bryan and I have been successfully managing for five years. Our clientele is of the class that demands the latest French modes -hence my presence in gay Paree. Today I received a letter from Helen which I enjoyed very much, and I believe you will final it interesting, too. It is as follows: Sept. 25, 1930. Dear Helen: You no doubt will be surprised to hear from me immediately upon your arrival, but I have so much of interest to tell you about our old High School Class of 1920, that I thought best to write be- fore I forgot it. VVho do you think dropped into our shop to order a hat, the very day you left? Madam Pinot, you know the famous opera singer. -WVell, who do you think she is in real life? None other than our old Classmate, Ruth Parrish. You can imagine how we talked about our old class, and as she had just visited back in Spen- cer she knew all about them. W'ell, to fmish about Ruth, she has invited us to visit her in her lovely California home, at the end of her season here in New York. It will be grand to see her charm- ing family, and, incidentally, to hob-nob with her artist friends. Of course. I first asked about our class president, .Iohn Beem. john has developed into a very promising business man. His father retired soon after john's graduation, and john became mana- ger of the shoe store. It seems that he was not very successful at first, because his thoughts, instead of being on shoes, were con- tinually wandering toward K'Geneg', he was so worried for fear he should not be able to win the fair beauty, that he could not Hnd time to fret about business interests. But after his marriage, he could afford to turn his attention to shoe business, because, of course, Gene must be well provided for. Now john has built a mammoth shoe store consisting of ten stories, and needless to say controls the shoe trade for miles around. One would think that Mildred Sheppard had changed her meek and bashful ways, and become quite a Hirt, judging from the fact that she meets every train that comes into Spencer, but Mildred has a perfect right to do this as she is the agent for the Adams Express Company. 1920
