SENIOR CLASS PHOPHECT Having completed my great opera play Madame Butterfly , I toured some of the larger cities across the nation. }ty first stop was in New York, where I visited a few of the department stores. As I was looking through the lingerie, I encountered Mary Margaret Goth, saleslady for Playtex. Her exquisite talent for bargaining and talking herself out of a tight squeeze is very useful, for she can talk a lady into one. Vly next stop was in Washington D.C., and I toured the Presidential Grounds. In the play ground in the back I noted the familiar face of Connie Rooney, governess and teacher of the President ' s children. She is also a journalist for the Ladies Home Journal. In a museum in Denver, Colorado, I was attracted by a sign which said, The Doeverything , invented by Mary Jane Schwaller. At the side was literature ex- plaining it. This machine, it said, washes, irons, scrubs, gets meals, washes dishes, gets the children off to school, tends the furnace, and does the mar- keting. It has attachments which hoe the garden, mow the lawn, and an arm which reaches out to spank little Stan when he drags the cat around by the tail. The present Mrs. R. Musial intends to spend the remainder of her life reading all the new novels. In Kansas City I find Mary Louise Cannady employed by the Kansas City Times. She is a reporter and is known as Speedy Sophie . She carries two things in her pockets, a book entitled Clues and a pair of handcuffs. Her intense interest in everybody ' s business and her cast-iron nerves enable her to penetrate where she is not wanted without embarrassment. She is so alert that she interviews criminals as they are committing the crime and gets tomorrow ' s news last week. Also, employed in the city is Ellen Lynn, a nurse in St. Mary ' s Hospital. Her recurrent dream in which she is a canaiy bird chased by a cat, cheers all the pa- tients extremely. She spends five hours a day in each of her two Candy Stores, one in New York and one in London. She travels back and forth at night. Busy lady, Ellen is ! Later, while waiting for a medical check-up in the Professional Building, I read that Ruth Kantner has won a national bread-baking contest. She is the happy wife of a prominent business man and serves the best meals in town. In addition to that, she is a lecturer on home-making, the kind who tells people how to feed ten people for seven days on twenty-three cents apiece. Now, as irsy turn to see Dr. Marjorie Schuster has arrived, I drop the mag- azine. I see Marjorie has grown somewhat older but is still young at heart. Dr. Schuster is yet single but she tells me she has many suitors, but she can ' t make up her mind whether to marry the African Lion Hunter or the garbage truck driver. Next I go to Jefferson City to see my sister. She tells me of the recent election in which Eileen Tilling ran for Governess of the state, but lost by one vote which was cast by her campaign manager. Previously she had been a senator of the state but has resumed her former profession as a lawyer. Now I go back to rny own home town and find Georgia Bax and Mary Jane Camden partners in the Camden-Bax Real Estate, They are selling Florida lots to the inhabitants of Labrador and igloos to the dwellers of the Sahara. In their leisure time Miss Bax writes speeches for politicians and Mary Jane helps her husband in managing Jane ' s Cat Farm , A public auction is held here every Saturday afternoon. Some of the cats bring up to $5,000. Barbara Bruce and Eileen Tilling
