The conductor came around for my ticket and to my surprise, it was VValter O'Neal. IVhen we arrived in Harrisburg, the porter came to take my baggage, and to my amazement. he was Joseph Lina. He said that this was the best job he could get. IIe could not get another job, not even a wife. On going down Market Street I met Elizabeth Beshore. She told me that she was a. stenographer and was working in the capitol and she also told me that she soon was going to enter the institution ot Hholy matri- monyf' I went further down the street and saw a big crowd. I went closer to the crowd and recognized Ruth Allen. She was standing on a soap box and lecturing to the people. After she was through lecturing she saw me and told me that she had become an 'Lelocutionistf' Ruth is Very good in reciting and giving readings. I then boarded a street car and as I handed my ear-fare to the con- ductor, I thought his face looked familiar. He then spoke to me and I recognized Edward Stepp. In getting off the car, I felt a. tap on my shoulder and turned, then I recognized John Stopfel, who was the motor- man of the car. u I got off the car at the Post Office and went in to get my mail. On coming out I noticed Elmer Koup loading a. mail, truck. I stopped to talk with him and he told me that he was working for the United States Post Office Department.

Going through the school I met the French teacher Cfor I was always fond of French when I was in schoolb who was Miriam Janson. I went to Commercial Arithmetic Class and recognized the teacher to be Helen Tennis. The next week I went to Harrisburg and was walking up VVall Street when my eyes were dazed by a bright, glaring sign. Looking up I saw the following: HAROLD BRUMBAUGII Lawyer HIf you want a divorce Come to ine, I will help youf' That made me think when back in Commercial Law Class, he always had a reason for everything. I then entered the lVoolworth 5 Sa 10 Cent Store, and soon the bright, flirting pianist caught my eye, lo and behold it was Florence Wolfe. She told me that she thought she had a very good job, and the manager, Lloyd Becker, was responsible for her position. On Sunday morning I went down to Enhaut's new church and found that Edgar Wells was the minister. After the service he introduced me to his new wife, Elizabeth. I went to the evening service and was confronted by the janitor, half- sleeping, in the hall, who opened his eyes a little, and I managed to see that it was Paul Conrad. This reminded me of back in school, when the teacher would call on Paul, he would be sleeping and one of the boys would have to waken him. The following Sunday, going for a ride down Pennsylvania Avenue, I recognized a girl with a baby coach and stopped. It was Ola Brown. She told me that she was child 's nurse for Rockefeller 's family. Just then mother called me and I awoke and realized that it was all a dream. EMMA BEsHoRE. Page Eighteen
