There is Lorena Ward sitting in a handsome chair, reading a book. My vision takes me to another room in the same house. This room is a strange contrast to the magnificance of the others. There among all clutter of the room is Harold McBride working on an invention which is soon to be a great success. “Again we are taken to the country. This time it is a country store. Behind the counter is Wren Carton If you could talk to her she would tell you she had been been married three years, and their small store had been a huge success. “Another nice home, but the person concerned is not the owner of it. It belongs to an old ladys who is an invalid. Bertha Ward, who is a graduate nurse, has taken care of her for several years, and will probably be the owner of the house at the death of the invalid lady. “It seems as though a good many of these people are doomed to the farm. Now I see a huge dairy farm, and who is the owner, but Harry Gibbs! “More school teachers! This time my vision is not very clear. Although I am not able to see what course they have specialized in, I can see that Leola Follrod and Helen Jeffers are teaching school. “My vision takes me to another study, this is a different type than the others. There beside the typewriter is Esther Bailey working on her latest novel. This is assured success, because of the many successful preceding ones.” “Here is an entirely different picture. It is a skating rink. The owners are Milton O'Neil and Everett Wildman. “Now the picture I see is that of a library in one of our large cities. If you were to go in after a book you would find the librarian to be Wilma Cornes. “In my vision I see a building being fastlv constructed. No wonder, as the carpenter is Dale Blair, who always had good work in manual training. “Another hospital scene. It seems as though many of the girls from this group have chosen nursing for their vocation. The nurse I see in this picture is Margaret Collins. In this picture I see a small woman come in and talk to one of the doctors. This woman is Pearl Pitts, who has married one of the successful doctors in this large hospital. “My vision takes me to the office of a large firm in Chicago. In the office I see the President of the firm dictating to his private secretary. This secretary is Lucy Baker. “This time I see the ring at a boxing match. The gong has sounded, and I see Bill Griffiin being heralded as the Champion.” Now Anna and I had cause to be excited. We were the only ones left. We were all attention for we didn't want to miss a detail of our own future. “I am now seeing a street in New York. There is a very pretty shop for women’s clothing. If you would go inside you would be greeted by the owner, who is Anna James. If you could talk to her she would tell you Alyce Chevalier was teaching school in the suburbs, and they were living together in a very cozy apartment. We were then to delighted to listen for more. We wanted to talk more about our own future, as we had always wanted to be together after our school days were over. page thirteen

THE THALIA iiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiHiHiiiiiiiiiinHiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiMiiimiiiiHiimmiiimmiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiitiiimiiHiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiuitiiiimiiiiimiiiiimiliiiiiiiimiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllMMMiiiiitiiiiMiiiiiiiiiu One night when Anna was staying over with me, we desided we would spend the evening at home. As the evening wore on we had listened to many stations on the radio. On tiring of one station we turned the dial and heard a voice saying, “You may now hear your own future. Tonight pictures of many years to come are clearly in my vision. I will tell them to you as they appear to me.” We soon became disheartened, for we knew none of the names he had mentioned. Just as we were about to turn the radio off, wc heard the name Tex Rickard. We wondered what this had to do with our future and this is what he said, “We have been hearing a lot lately about the death of the prize fight promoter, Tex Rickard, but tonight as I see the picture of years to come, I see his place very efficiently filled by Bill Westervelt.” This then regained our interest. The announcer went on, “As more pictures come to me I see Margaret McCance singing in grand opera with Mary Belle Bentz as her accompanist.” We were not surprised at this, because this had always been the girl’s ambition. We had no time for discussion, as we must listen for he was continuing, “Certainly everyone has not gone to the city for the very next picture is that of a farm. It must be almost dinner time for there is Mabel Buck cooking.” That made Anna and I hungry for we knew how good Mabel could cook, for we took Home Econmics with We could not then stop to eat. We must listen for he was saying, “As the next picture appears it is a very pretty home in Belpre, Ohio. This is a scene of an afternoon tea. The hostess would be known to most people as Lucy Mae Daugherty, but not to these people she is entertaining.” “Next I see a hospital scene,” the voice went on. “The tall slender nurse who glides so noiselessly around the room is identified as Constance Walden. “The next picture that comes to my visions is that of a nicely dressed woman walking up the street leading a very attractive child. To her schoolmates she was known as Gladys Kincade.” “The picture I new see is in the northern part of the state of Ohio. I see a very sporty roadster coming down the street. As it comes nearer I see a German Police Dog sitting beside the driver. I see the driver is a well dressed young woman, and if some of you could see with me you would know it was Clarice Root. That used to be her name, but not any more. As 1 watch the car go on down the street I see Clarice stop in front of a large department store. In a very short time Jean Nestor comes out and gets in the car with Clarice. Jean had proved very efficient in this store.” “As this picture fades a class room comes to my vision. It is the Home Econmics Department. There is Betty Bond lecturing on menus. Betty has a very nice department in which to teach. My vision takes me on up stairs, where they are having English. Lucille Davis is the English Instructor.” “This time my vision is that of a garage. Some one is under the car. A customer conies in the garage, and as this sturdy mechanic emerges from underneath the car, I see through the grease and dirt that it is Argyl Vorhies. “Oh, here is a different kind of a scene. A large crowd. Oh ,yes, it is a basketball game. The whistle has blown for the half. As the boys leave the court they gather around their coach. As they drift away I am able to see the Coach. It is Don Green. By this time we were commencing to be anxious for our own future to be told us, but we must not be impatient, and if we stopped to talk we would miss some of the scenes which he was telling.
