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

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.

cats are pets of Hollywood actresses who have left them in Olive ' s care. Next appears a row of stores on a quiet street in the old home town. A red and white striped pole outside Earl Marquis ' shop names his profession as that of barber; and the next store, where overalls, straw hats, and harnesses are sold, belongs jointly to Edward Peters and Rudolph Krause. The footlights flare up suddenly as a black-faced minstrel struts out upon the stage, accompanied by a startling blare from the saxo- phones. The darky is joined in his capers by his friend, Ebenezer, who accents each witty remark by a great roll of his eyeballs. The audience is held in an uproar. But at length, when Ebenezer opens his mouth to sing a darky lullaby, his clear, flute-like tenor voice fills his listeners with thrills of delight and surprise. He is called back again and again, and when at last this act is over, and, in the dressing room, these minstrels remove the burnt-cork makeup, the faces disclosed are those of Winifred Lange and Richard Rankin. A young lady who at first glance appears to be holding the hand of the young man who sits looking at her across a small table is, on second glance, discovered to be employed manicuring his finger nails. It is Dorothy Lewellyn, who smilingly engages him in conversation while she goes about her work. The prettily arranged window of Caroline Meyers ' exclusive shop appears. Dainty collars and cuffs, fancy handkerchiefs, and hand- knit sweaters allure the hearts of feminine passers by, and find favor with the most exacting. The monotonous repetition of the scale of G being played over and over by a patient child, does not weary Edith Miller, the little gill ' s painstaking music teacher. Well preserved and sprightly, though gray-haired and seventy, Ellen Morgan sits at her desk writing Latin plays which people of classic taste wail eagerly for her to produce from her magic pen, or rather, magic mind. A roomy Y. M. C. A. swimming pool appears where boys, with arms uplifted and bodies poised to make a new fashioned dive, await the final directions from their instructor, Wolfred Ocksenkehl. A bright-faced athletic woman is standing on the platform of a spacious assembly room, addressing a body of students. She is none other than Ida Osterbeck, who is telling her audience that she is proud to be coach of the team that has won the State championship so easily. A stout woman with spectacles on her nose and a broad-brimmed sun hat on her head stands with her arms akimbo, neglecting to feed the pigs and water the cows, in her excitement as she tells her neighbor jus1 why Susanna Jones wants a divorce, and what made the Campbells stay home from church last Sunday, and who Anna Perkins is going to marry. This talkative woman is Phyllis Ostrander. Behind a large oaken desk in an office sits Lena Pankonin, attired in a modish skirt and blouse, with her hair neatly dressed in the newest fashion. But this bit of good taste cannot hide the fact that she is a very efficient young lady, as one needs must be to retain the position of private secretary of the President of the United States. Looking as though they had stepped from the pages of a story . book, stand a group of attractive dainty little tots, in graceful attitudes, about to learn some fancy step from their mistresses, Margaret Pitts and Ila Marble, teachers of this clever dance which is very popular among San Francisco ' s smart set. High up on the snowy cap of the matterhorn is a little party of Alpine climbers, headed by a woman guide. Now they pause, as a steep slippery cliff confronts them ; but their experienced guide, Gladys
