PROPHECY bersf, I asked her why this chosen few had taken this way of getting married. She said, XVe love the little excitement that comes into this business, and also the fun of not knowing your future husband except by his handwriting. Even the word 'Reh- pargonets sounds mysterious, although it is only the word stenographer spelled back- wards. I left this society to continue its rushing business and went my way. Io- sephine Lally was singing in the Metropoli- tan Qpera House in New York, where she had signed a contract for 25 years. She had such a deep voice and could take a male part with such success that one of the actresses, not knowing she was a woman, began to make love to her. She was mak- ing money enough to buy Qhnemus out of his present position. Katharine Larner was a world's champion. Of course. you want to know what she was champion of. Well, she was the most bashful girl in the world and on this reputation had appeared before the large men's clubs of the world. By doing this she was making a name that would go down in history, and live for years and years. Surely I must not forget Hartmann, who became a mining engineer of great fame and wealth. He was working in a mine out in the Rocky lNIountains, far away from all civilization. During his career up to this time he had had but one slight' accident. He was down in the mine and was starting to light his pipe, with what he thought was a match, but was in reality a stick of dyna- mite. He usually carried a large number of these sticks in his pockets. After scratching this thought-to-be match on his trousers for about live minutes, he became angry and threw it fo-rcibly on the rocks near him. Goodby, Henry! He went up 2oo feet-and of course had to come back 2oo feet. But when he struck the ground, he got up, put his hand in his pocket, took out a match, lighted his pipe and walked away. It takes more than that to kill Hart- mann. Eileen MacCarthy and Elizabeth Daboll were writing a book entitled How to Make a Success in High School. This included the study of baseball, football, basketball and swimming. Fern Conner was illustrat- ing the book with pictures of athletes. Ethel Templar was giving piano lessons on very reasonable terms. She taught the pupil free of charge until he could play, then, when he gave notice of leaving, she would charge him 50 cents for his last les- son. Iust at present she was becoming very rich. George Furbush, alias Thomas Edison the second, since he lived so near to the water, had invented many useful objects to be used in water sports and water travelling. Among these things was a canoe which could be tipped in all directions without going over. One might even push one side under the water and still it would not roll over, and, furthermore, no water would rush into it. He invented oars that unseen hands manipulated, that is, one need only place them in the oarlocks and they would begin to work just as if somebody were pushing them. These made him rich and famous. But one invention made him hated by all who tried it, and that was a bathing suit. In order to wear this suit, one had to wish himself inside of it, and after wishing it on, one was not able to take it off. Olive Hopkins was a leader of society, after inheriting a large fortune. She in- vited me to dinner one day, and while I was seated on the window-seat, waiting for din- ner to be served, I heard Olive talking to the butcher's boy. She was saying that the piece of steak that she bought the other day was so tough that she could not cut it. The butcher boy told her that she was lucky, be- cause another customer down the street bought a piece of steak that was so tough he could not get his fork into the gravy. After hearing this conversation, I began to
