Plambeck, with the light hatchet she carries, cuts little grooves for steps in the icy surface. At last, the hazardous ascent accomplished, they pause on the summit to gaze in profound admiration at the view that lies stretched before them. Then, rested, they descend, looking backward to catch one last glimpse of the peaks, rosy-tinted and glorious with the sunset. In the spacious grounds adjoining a beautiful mansion is a lovely youthful woman in jaunty sport costume, holding in her hand a tennis racquet as she poses for her adoring artist husband. The classic pro- file he paints, the one that has so delighted the magazine publishers, is that of Ann Powell. In a small, foreign, second hand store, Carrie Purchase is buying, to add to her collection of curios, an old jet necklace which the Queen of Sheba may have worn. A girl, heavily bundled in the furs of her aviatrix uniform, steps quickly from the plane in which she has just landed. Friends and acQuaintances rush up to her and congratulate her on her safe return, for a trip to the south po ; uy aeroplane is a feat that has been ac- complished by no one save Dorothea Reickle. In a sunny nursery, - x re plump little rabbits chase each othei in endless succession a.r ad the wall paper borders, a diminutive mother contentedly rod her doll to sleep, while her baby brother plays with his engine, or t. inbers about the cushioned window seat Their governess, Lillian K isner, glances from her novel just in time to avert a ruinous snip oi the blunt scissors with which little Don is about to fringe the curiam. Lying at anchor, in the deep blue waters just off the palm-fringed coast of Florida, is a handsome pleasure yacht, belonging to a weathy resident. The uniformed captain, who stands at attention as the owner approaches, is Joeseph Robertson. An old woman is sitting on the doorstep of a tumbled-down shack with a pile of nerbs, which she is sortmg, in her lap. In the meantime, she mumbles to herself some unintelligible words. Over the door is posted tne sign, ' Evelyn Richter, Quack Doctor. Junior Rockwood enters a large office and goes immediately to the Postal Clerk ' s desk. He seats himself and begins looking over his letters. Upon reading one his face breaks into a smile, and he gives a long whistle of surprise and pleasure, for in the letter he is informed that his work has beer so satisfactory that he will receive an increase in salary. While on her European travels, Grechen Roethke lingers long under the sunny skies of Italy. There she may be seen ardently admiring all the historical spots, and gazing thoughtfully cf a bust of Columbus (on a pedestal) . The face seems familiar to her. Perhaps it is that of some one she has met on her travels; so she does not ask the question, Is he dead? A young man walks about a huge theater, pointing out to the decorators the points which should be changed. He is Walter Roeser, supervising the remodeling of the Royal Palms Theater, in Chicago. A school-room appears, filled with mischievous oungsters. One glances up slyly from his book to tell some childish secret to his neigh- bor. The voice that is raised in admonition is that of Dorothy Schendal, teacher in this rural school. The morning sunlight filters through the many colored panes of the church window and falls upon the sincere upturned face of the pastor, Russel Shepherd, whose reverend, impassioned words move the hearts of his listeners. A steady stream of customers passes in and out of a repair shop

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

where men in leather aprons are busily plying their tasks. The bril- liantly painted sign outside reads, Take Your Shoes to Swarthout When They ' re Wornout. A customer enters a corner drug store in the down town district. A white coated boy appears almost instantly. He takes the slip of paper on which the prescription is written, to the druggist, Warren Thomson, that it may be compounded by him. In Edward lire ' s fashionable clothing store a lady is fitting on sable coats of elegance and beauty. The owner walks in just then, and recognized this customer as Ruth Schoeneberg, an old classmate. In a little furnished, chintz-curtained cottage by the sea, Cali- fornia excursionists may prepare their own meals. This unusual plan has pleased lovers of novelty, and brought Ella Turnbull a neat little fortune. Great varieties of commercial apparatus are laid out, preparatory to putting into operation the great and new invention of Milton Wager, electrical engineer, who has accomplished his end after long years of work with complicated electrical machinery. A niftily dressed young man enters the office of a prominent busi- ness man. He makes himself at home, and immediately begins talking about the merits of his company ' s insurance policy in contradistinction to that of anyone else ' s company. He is Herbert Wettlaufer. A severe-looking woman, dressed in stiff, black silk, stands watch- ing the dancers at a public party. Her brows are drawn in a frown, and her eyes are narrowed, as she sees a couple moving off in a manner of which she does not approve. She is Alma Weichmann, supervisor of dancing. Again broadway appears ,and the flashing colored light bulbs over the popular shop owned by Elmo Wilkinson spell the words, Learn the Latest Slang in Five Minutes. In a large kitchen stands Lloyd Wiltse in white baker ' s cap and apron, his sleeves rolled above his elbows — for he kneads the dough. Behind the window of a cashier ' s office is Erma Wiltse busily em- ployed in the service of a great dry goods store. Manikin after manikin appears, dressed in smart clothes of the latest fashion. Gracefully they glide across the polished floor of the spacious, well lighted, Parisian shop, scented with flowers and green with palms. One after another they stop and turn slowly, to display gleaming satins, lustrous silks, or handsome furs, then pass on down the hall. As the last of the line disappears a smile of satisfaction crosses the face of Arthur Witham, as he thinks of the success of this afternoon ' s display. Rolls of paper, pails of paste, and huge brushes, litter the canvas protected floor of a magnificent room in an aristocratic home. The tall paper hanger, reaching easily even to the ceiling with his long handled brush, and doing all his work without the aid of a step ladder, is Clarence Wilkinson, noted for his efficiency. The dim light from a street lamp scarcely reveals the figure of a man who lurks in the shadows on the corner. As he steals unnoticed down the dark street, following the two men he has been furtively watching, no one would ever suspect that he is that keen detective, Enoch Yates. A woman, slender of build, and light haired, walks from one cabinet to another, admiring the designs which her husband has planned for them. She is Ottelia Zorn, the happy wife of a former schoolmate. The seniors of a high school class are working to produce their yearly magazine. They are greatly aided in their labor by a little
