ture was wrtten: World Famous Magician, Carl H. Purdy, will give first number on Lyceum Course. Another place I read Divorce granted to Mrs. Carl Leasor, formerly Miss Frances Sheley, famous movie actress. Mr. Leasor is Oil King of Oklahoma. I turned to the comic strip and there I saw a new cartoon. I looked to see who it was by and found the cartoonist to be Richard Neidhardt. I traveled for several days until I'was not far from Delphos. I heard that the street fair was being held that week and I decided to attend. As I moved along with the crowd I heard a man shouting at the top of his voice: Come see the greatest snake charmer the world has ever known. There stood Viola Wolford with two large snakes coiled round her neck. Then I. looked at the man who kept shouting, and was surprised-I didn't know Earl Miller could shout so loud. I moved on to the next booth and there was Wanda Cisco singing one'of the latest songs, with Pearl Fritz as accompanist at the piano. As I left that booth I noticed a man and his wife having trouble keeping their six lively children together. At last I recognized them, Maurice Becker and his wife, formerly Dorothy Plik- erd.

Harry Donhaiser was in the pulpit delivering his sermon. He had been the faithful shepherd of his little flock for several years. As I was crossing the street one dayil was struck and knocked un- conscious by a taxi. I learned afterward that the taxi was driven by Ruth Beerman. She was driving at breakneck speed to get three society ladies to a bridge party. The ladies were formerly Kathryn Barnt, who had married a prominent lawyer, Neva Sawmiller, wife of a famous surgeong and Mary Lee, whose late husband had willed her his large steel factory. When I regained consciousness I found I was lying in a white hospital bed. There were two nurses in the room whom I recognized as Ruth Rob- erts and Clara Bonifas. Then Dr. Howard Berry came to see if the hobo was recovering. He looked so queer in his surgeon's uniform that I had to laugh. .lust then he recognized me and said: i'Margaret Woodworth, and you a hobo! I U 121...
