PROPHECY Bistrup, president: Alice Elizabeth Gor- man, secretary: Marion Elizabeth Hines, treasurer, Hazel Elizabeth Hodgman, art- director, and Florence Elizabeth Murphy, vice-president. Their infiuence in XValtham social and political social circles was second only to that of Nellie Barry and the Wfal- tham NVoman's Club: while their specific ,sphere was reviving and restoring the Elizabethan Era. As a sort of a side issue they conducted a huge department store on Felton street. Its surrounding scenery was superb. Un one side, one was reminded of the pleasures of our school-life by the grind- ing of the Barry Lumber Mill. A sweet, effervescent fragrance permeated the entire locality and rose, no doubt, from a modest little garden in the background, where to the benefit of her purse and to the satis- faction of the aged city fathers, Hazel Arletta Arneson, successfully bent all her consumate agricultural endowments in the art of raising tracks. Florence Murphy served in the capacity of chief buyer and head of the provision department, while Hazel Bistrup had charge of the candy-counter, where Elysium Kisses seemed to be the chief attraction. I had pushed everybody in the crowd and was starting in pursuit of a middle-aged lady over at the hardware counter whom I had not yet bumped into, when I felt a tickling sensation on my right foot. I cast my eyes to the ground and beheld the ad- vance-guard of one of Kearsley's feet. In desperate haste I mounted an adjacent stool and awaited the arrival of its owner. After a brief cessation of hostilities, during which I reviewed and applauded the many counter attacks, Bert hove into sight. His nose was smeared with blood, while little pieces of glass sparkled playfully on the dark back- ground of his gorgeous Prince Albert coat, and my glance slipped on a daub of caked soup as I stared at the otherwise spotless and glaring shirt front, the poor position of which I ascribed to its poor bringing up. Hardware, first fioorg underwear, elevator to the next floorg glassware, third fioorg silverware, fourth fioorg and an unsur- passed toy annex on the seventh floor. Luncheon served every half hour, and double, illegal stamps every Friday after- noon. If the goods don't suit, don't bring them back. Count your change, please, be- fore you leave the counter, ma'm, quoth liearsley, tempo accelerando manner, pat- ting his delicate, golden locks. Then turn- ing abruptly on his heel, he tore up half a dozen tickets to a grand opera. In a frenzy I embraced his knees as a suppliant and en- treated him to show me a-bout. He laugh- ingly tossed me a couple of tickets to the Randles-johnson fight that evening. Sec- ond floor, third counter to the right, he an- nounced by habit and bid me come on. XYe found Hazel Hodgman skillfully drawing water in the art-department, and Lillian Barker in the medical department, making a specialty of window panes and hour-glasses. Marion Hines had charge of the Mens Furnishings Departmentg and it was here that I met a Munroe and Fletcher, the only two male members of the firm. Atherton, who had while in our midst pre- pared to study naval designing at Tech, was engaged in the crockery department designing vessels. He had caused a co-m- plete metamorphoses in the medical world by the publication of his startling theory which enjoyed world-wide fame under the name of Munroe Doctoringig but his su- preme desire seemed some day to become a really, truly editor on a really, truly pa- per. Fletcher, on the other hand, suffered considerable fame as a locksmith. He had renewed the auburn locks of john D., and had invented locks which prevented the wearer from losing his head, but his spe- cialty was hemlocks. It was rumored, however, that Frank was not quite right in his head and his own sunny locks were afliicted with decay, this being due from in- jury to the cube-roots formed by patient
