Tom was giving a medicine show, Estella Bromwich sat in the front row, Viola Knappenberger a toe dancer rare. Was flitting about way up in the air. Emily Stuchell who hates the men Was selling peanuts in the Five and Ten, Josephine and Faith, the floor walkers fair, Were flirting with Benedict, the millionaire. Eugenia Pluciennik a fashonable dame Was Pluciennik no more for she changed her namev- Ada Fiscus our elocutionist lass Was teaching Virgil in Arithmetic class.
