He has made a million dollars in two weeks, so you see his books are in great demand.” Karl—“1 always thought Junior knew more about it than he expressed. Still water runs deep. 1 do believe that 1 will read the book myself, perhaps it will give me a few valuable hints, then perhaps 1 can win a fair mademoiselle.” Bernice—“That really isn’t a bad idea. Did you ever stop to think you are an old bachelor?” Earl—“And you an old maid ? Bernice—“Thanks, Earl. 1 never realized it before but it is true. As 1 was traveling through Spain last summer 1 noticed a poorly clad fellow with a burro and cart. The cart was full of oranges and bananas. Beside him was a senorita or senora. And who do you think it was?” Karl—“1 could never guess.” Bernice—“Dick Martinson and Wauneeta Simon.” Karl—“I never thought that Dick would ever leave his dear old farm in Tekon-sha, but perhaps he will get rich on tropical fruits. I hope so, he was always trying so hard to succeed.” Bernice—“As we have mentioned all the Seniors of 1924, also let us mention the teachers of that year. I understand Mr. Bailey is now President of Cambridge University of Kngland.” Karl—“1 am glad that he is doing so well. Mrs. Main, who was our English teacher is trying to make the American Literature book more perfect by adding a few more writers and poets. Mrs. arwick, mathematics teacher is running on the republican ticket for mayor of Tekonsha.” Bernice—“I do hope she wins. Miss Hcrschy, the Ancient History teacher, is still traveling around in the Durant Sport Car, while the Music and Art I eacher. Miss kuchenbecker, is publishing a new song book entitled, Do Little’. 1 hey say it is making a great hit.” Karl—“I’ll have to go to the music store and purchase the book. Well as it is already four o’clock 1 must leave as 1 have an important engagement at the Hotel LaRue. Before 1 leave please let me tell you what a pleasure 1 had in being able to have the opportunity of seeing you, and I hope to see you again when you visit America. An Rcvoir. Bernice Whittaker and Karl Letts.

o— POTTAWAM -(mmi Glass Prophecy Taken in Parrs, France. Bernice seated on sofa reading magazine when door bell rings. Bernice— Mow do you do Earl, I am glad to see you, please come in.” Earl—“This is indeed a pleasure. I read in one of the Paris leading magazines you were an excellent dress designer of rare ability. So you are responsible for all the fashions of France as well as America?” Bernice—“Yes, 1 am a dress designer and sure do enjoy myself creating different styles, but please let us not talk about me now. What brought you to Paris?” Earl—“1 am traveling for the Sears and Roebuck Company getting new ideas on Men’s Clothing. 1 found your address in the City Directory so decided we could have a nice little chat on our school days. By the way, where is Gladys Waffle? I will always remember how our English Teacher used to bawl us out for whispering. It has been twenty years, but my school days will always remain fresh in my memory.” Bernice—“I received a letter from mother and she said Gladys was a Movie Star and had taken Marie Prevost’s place. Marie is a comedy star you know? If you remember we always called Gladys the biggest flirt in the Tekonsha High School. I sure am glad her dreams have come true. I expect to make a visit to America in September so most likely 1 will see Gladys in Los Angeles as I am going to design the costumes for Pola Negri in ‘Bella Donna’. Could you tell me where George Brott is and what he is doing?” Earl—“Yes, I never can lose track of George. He is still located at Tekonsha and has a fine business of his own. He purchased the best Garage from his father and now has turned it into a umbrella repair shop. You know he always had a big future planned. As George and Paul are such good friends I will tell you about Paul too. Paul is the Pope of Rome; at the present he is making a journey to the Holy Land. They say he certainly has changed in the last twenty years.” Bernice—“1 never can imagine him being Pope. People say strange things do happen and now I sure believe it. Earl—“Another surprise for you, Genevieve Hoyt and Lloyd Belote are married and are on their honey-moon to India where they are going to live a happy life of solitude.” Bernice—“I never thought that it was as serious as that. You know Verna is lecturing thru Holland on ‘How to Reduce’, so now 1 expect all the little Dutch girls will be slender.”
