upon the platform, as Margaret Curtis, one of his former classmates, now a titled doctor whose clear reasoning and literary tendencies have gained for her wide renown among the scholars and intellect of the country. Broadway appears with its flashing lights and many theaters. Crowds of people wend their way toward the Metropolitan, attracted by posters which advertise Duane Chamberlain in his most successful play, The Returning Tide. A business man appears seated at his desk. A perplexed ex- pression passes over his face as he tries to solve a difficulty. Then an idea comes to him; his visage clears, and picking up the telephone book he calls Lydia Christ, and asks her to take charge of his office work. Lydia accepts as she has much sympathy for her old school mate, Edward Cherry, who is suffering from a severe attack of Spring fever. The rays of light from a dim oil lamp steal through the chinks of a little hut that sits deep in a dense forest. Within is Claude Clark, working out a powerful experiment which will prove to be of great value to the world of Physics. Along a woodland path mottled with sunlight, walks a young woman dressed in khaki suit, low-heeled, strongly-built shoes, and brown corduroy tam o ' shanter. Altogether she presents a very pic- turesque figure with her canvas and brushes on her arm. She is Helen Claflin, painter of woodland scenery. An old, wizen-faced man rides along the dusty road in a creaking, worn-out vehicle drawn by a lanky horse. A case of medicine falls out of the back of the carriage. The occupant at once gets out to replace it, and as he stoops to pick up the case, the wind snatches his tall stove-pipe hat and rolls it rapidly down the pike. After a mad chase and a final rescue, he returns, flushhed and triumphant, climbs into the buggy, jerks the reirs, and rumbles on his way. He is Carl Compton, who is devoting his life to the service of suffering horses in a country village. The pretty little millinery shop on the corner is filled with enthu- siastic customers, to whom the milliner, Dorothy Doerfner, aided by busy clerks, is showing hats that are chic and simple, all reflecting quality and good taste. A flock of chickens, white ones, brow n Plymouth Rock hens gather around a woman who is calling them and scattering feed from her apron. The owner of these chickens is none other than Frances Duff. Leona Dollhopf appears on the scene of a great fire. She is there as soon as the firemen, and her keen eyes miss nothing. With a small kodak she snaps several of the most thrilling scenes; then, as the fire is checked and the flames are being extinguished, she walks around gathering details for tomorrow ' s issue — for Leona is a reporter on the daily paper. A large cigar store, much frequented by men who desire the best, appears. Behind the desk, looking over his accounts, is Bishop Davis, proprietor. The light struggles through the small, smoky window pane, upon a man who sits at his desk, thoughtfully composing a newspaper editorial. Frequently he runs his fingers through his rumpled hair, which hangs in two dark points over his eyes, that stare fixedly upon the paper before him. He is Leslie Eynon, editor of the Blinkes- ville Daily. In a schoolroom are groups of girls industriously learning to sew. The quiet, patient teacher who has won their love and respect is Irene Gelinas, whose once brown hair is now streaked with gray, but her countenance still radiates kindness and good cheer as it did long ago.

Flooded with sunlight is an old-fashioned garden, hedge inclosed, where roses and four-o ' clocks blow, and sweet pinks and blue forget- me-nots are tucked away in corners. The prim maiden who has been kneeling beside a small rosebush, throws off her quaint pink sunbonnet and rises, as the manager of a noted seed house comes to inspect the superior plants cultivated by Hazel Baskin. In a large, well-lighted schoolroom many typewriters are busily clicking. The noise stops and the students look up as their teacher, Hazel Beach, begins to speak. At the show are all kinds of dogs, big shaggy fellows with droop- ing ears, sleek, close-haired ones, keen bulldogs with haughty air, all sit attentively watching a trim young woman who has just stopped playing with a bunch of frisking, fuzzy puppies. As she approaches him, the great, white Russian wolfhound leaps up and eagerly shakes hands with Nellie Blackstone, the girl whose friendship with these pets has led to her being made president of the Hyset Kennel Klub. In a cozy kitchen, savory with steaming pudding and delectable viands, in preparation for the evening meal, stands Lauretta Bluem, in a blue gingham apron. The becoming flush on her cheeks deepens at the entrance of a tall young man, in shell-rimmed glasses; and she hastens her preparations as he tells her that he must soon return to the oflfice for evening work. The courtroom is growing uneasy at the length of the debate, and at the hopelessness of the poor man ' s case, when Elma Bradford begins her plea. In a very short time she establishes proof that this poverty- stricken man is in the right. The decision is made in favor of her client, and Elm.a is happy because she is satisfied that her efforts to bring justice into the courts have not been altogether in vain. Up the steps and between the great fluted columns of the doorway walks a tall, gray-haired man who retains the erect and dignified bearing of his youth. He is Harry Burrows, president of the Federal Reserve system of Banks. All heads are bent in attention upon the boxers in the ring below. The lights shine down fiercely, and with a sudden turn of his hand, Maurice Brown deals a clever blow which ends the match in his favor. A richly dressed woman appears, wearing about her shoulders, furs of unsurpassed beauty. Luxurious, warm-looking, comfortable, she is confronted by the customs officer, Walter Bohnoff, who gruffly demands duty for the furs she is wearing. After much evasiveness and complaint, Sylvia Kaiser pays the exorbitant price demanded. A busy factory, humming with smoothly-running machinery, is teeming with active workers, contented under the efl?icient management of Bessie Close. The ruddy glow from an open fireplace illumines the tapestried walls and heavily carpeted floor of a spacious room, and plays upon the faces of the young men who sit about in deep-cushioned chairs smoking and merrily conversing, and then flickers upon the elks ' head on the wall, lights the old pennant above which bears the inscription Bachelors ' Club, and shines upon the face of the host, disclosing him as Arthur Curran. A white light illuminates a screen upon which is flashed the face of a beautiful woman whose deep, soulfull eyes surpass those of Theda Bara in their lustrous splendor. Immediately this girl is chosen as a star. Her name is asked. The answer is, Ethel Curran. In a large hall, a lecturer is to speak before an assembly of pro- fessors and teachers — the literary department of a noted college. In this audience is Harry Gnatowske who has gained wide recognition through his stories. He recognizes the white-haired woman who steps

On a busy corner of Madison Avenue, New York, are automobiles and crowded cars, and drivers impatient to be moving, while a woman traffic officer stands, quickly and efficiently directing the throngs by her signals. She is Carol Redmond, and the chauffeur, who, cool and reliable guides a great purring machine by her, is Frank McDermid. In the tonneau of the car he drives, reposes a young man whose easy bearing and smart-cut clothes distinguish him as one of New York ' s exclusive set. He is Orville Gile. The stage is darkened and the spotlight plays upon a graceful figure that whisks out in filmy pink. Each delicate movement of this graceful flitting dancer, Leota Goodrow, fascinates and attracts. The light falls upon the small figure of an office girl. Her face glows with pleasure and satisfaction as she looks fondly at the medal she holds in her hand. Irene Gross has just received the unique dis- tinction of being named the speediest writer of shorthand diction in her state. Across the little footbridge that spans a clear iris-bordered pond in Japan, where butterflies gayly hover and birds of brilliant plumage gleam, iridescent, in the sunlight, stands a bamboo cottage, the tem- porary residence of Gladys Harper, who is buying Japanese tea sets for an American company. Buried in thought, with a sheet of white drawing paper before her, Grace Harper is carefully designing loose, comfortable costumes with which to introduce the dress reform she is planning to initiate. In a sunny, white enameled beauty parlor with pots of salve, boxes of powder and bottles of hair tonic around her, sits Erma Grumell, one of the most popular hairdressers of Palm Beach. A tall man appears, in corduroys and fur cap, wading through the snow. Two large dogs follow at his heels. He walks along until he reaches a small cabin around which great logs are stacked in orderly piles. The winds sigh through the great pine forest as, calling his dogs, the man enters and begins preparations for his solitary meal. He is James Hay, who has taken up a valuable claim in Northwestern Canada. A man, who seems to be in great haste, is endeavoring to deliver an important message by long distance. The clear, distinct voice of the operator who answers hi m, is that of Mildred Heidger. The tropic sun beats fiercely down upon an automobile traversing a smooth macadam road in Venezuela. Now the way leads over stretches of heated plain, now through a vast forest, and again over great bridges, firmly built to withstand the rushing torrents, swollen by the heavy rains. This way has been constructed by a band of men, who were stung by insects, attacked by serpents, tormented by the heat, and then, when nearing desperation were led on to success by the in- domitable will, the stern resolution, and the great courage of their leader, Roscoe Hefron. In a prosperous furniture store, a salesman is demonstrating a talking machine of the latest and most elegant period design. The customer hesitates, undecided as to whether he wishes to buy or not. Then the salesman mentions the fact that the machine was designed by John Herzog. The customer hesitates no longer, for it is well known that John Herzog designs for only the best machines, and that his patterns are sought by the most fastidious persons. The sunlight beams upon the green lawn and the low sloping roof of a little, brown, rose-trellised cottage. The man entering the gateway is greeted by a rosy, pretty young woman, followed by a dozen beautiful cats. As she picks up a lovely Angora kitten, showing it to her husband and commenting upon its condition, her dimpled smile shows that she is Olive Hymans. The man is none other than Chick Kehren, and the
