Cora M. Boqulst Mamie Yaroe Jacintha Smitb mfiital collapse. And on .Monday, Fcljruarv 4, 1901. she sat down to write an nrijjinal story, and she has heen writing- ever since. She never suc- ceeded in endinjr the first one she started, and she can be seen to this day, sittine; in four feet of unnumbered sheets of manuscript, fallen on the floor just as she cast them aside. I came through from Venus with our cherished Guy Stewart. He is starrins; ' in seventeen of Jessie Day ' s serio- comic tragedies, [r. ' on X. gave him his first training, you know, and now he is so fine that he travels alone — the whole show in himself. Flora Kerr is his advance agent. Guy said that his most humlile worshiper is .Miss Hagan, who follows him from star to star to witness his uni(|ue presentation of Lohengrin, . ' Comedy in Three Keys. adapted by J. r)a -. These are all the items I call to mind at present. If I think of more I ' ll send them on. This is rather lengthy, but I remember that I ' m not the one who is paying for it. P)y the way, I wonder if I acknowledged the receijjt of your cards. Whatever made you go and marry that man? 1 know you always declared you would take any old stick before you ' d live single, but to change Florence Xewell to Mrs. Snakc-Charmer ! Well, address me at the Improved Ether Waffle Foundry, iii Half-Moon street, Sirius, as there isn ' t enough doing here to make a ])ermanent loca- tion worth while. Yours for Old Times, LoR. ' .

Dorothy Holmes Emily Clark Nellie Breerj Stella HornbecK June Luttge and her life was barely saved. She also said that May Brunson and May McGill are keeping a boarding school at Vladivostok. I forgot to say that on my trip out I stopped over on ' enus and met Nell Randall and Winnie Palmer there. Nell has a position as Professor of Astrology in the ' entisian University, and Winnie occupies the Chair of Interplanetary Law in the same institution. I also saw Gertrude White — .Mrs. lUack, now. She invited me to dine with her, to meet old friends, who turned out to be Mabel Ruddy and Mrs. PoUans. Mrs. P. is r|uite gray — she lectures to the University cooking classes. Mabel looked ruddy and well ; she runs a roof-garden over the concert hall where Mrs. Mary Allen disappeared that night. You know Mrs. A. tried for double-high C. She reached it, but it drew her right up out of sight. She vanished in the direction of . ldebaron, and her friends hope she may have alighted there all right, but there is no way of knowing, as the regular line to that place from Sirius won ' t be open till February next. Mrs. Pollans told me of Grace Stuart. You know, we wondered what had become of her. Well, it seems she traveled with Patterson ' s circus, Mabel P. married a show- man, and made him take her name — as the Silent Lady, for seven years, but she doesn ' t know where she is now. We all spoke of Mrs. De Grace Ellsworth ; a sad fate, truly ! They say that she went partly crazy trying to get some soul to write her an original story for the E.xp. — she finally wrote it herself — and the excitement of graduation week completed her

A Psychological, Pedagogical, Physiological, Biological Phenomenon MRS. DE GRACE One of the strangest incidents that ever came under my knowledge happened this year in tlie Normal School. Miss E. and Miss S., two of the well-known and ]io])uIar young ladies of one of the higher classes, were the principal actors in the tragedy. Miss E. is of fair comjilexion. bright eves of the deepest blue, and lips that are always smil- ing. She dresses in perfect taste, and is a great ELLSWORTH favorite both with the faculty and students. Miss S. is Miss E. ' s intimate friend ; she has a dark olive complexion, large dreamy brown eyes, and brown hair that waves naturall}- over a high lorehcad. She is equally attractive to her friends, but is not so strong a student in her class work. lloth girls left the school for home, at the usual hour, on Wednesday. It was the day of the heaviest rainfall this vear. and as thev started
