20 Till-: SMMOR YEAR BOOK CLKSS 444 4 PROPHECY While I was conducting my experiments in Buenos Aires, in an attempt to graft a squirtless grapefruit from the California peach and the alligator pear, I happened to look into the window of a nearby shop run by one of those Indian medicine men. In it, amid the jumble of stones, iron jewelry, and glass trinkets, a bowl particularly attracted my attention. It was made of glass, the colors of which were accentuated by the rays of the sun. I entered the shop in order to examine the bowl more closely, and much to my surprise, I found that it was filled with pink water. The medicine man told me that it was an ancient prophecy bowl used by the tribe of Kismet, and when the words “Clotho, Atropos, Lachesis” were pronounced over it, strange things would be revealed. The mystery of it all appealed to my imagination, so I purchased the bowl, and hurriedly took it to my room. Eagerly I pronounced the fatal words “Clotho, Atropos, Lachesis,” and looked into the bowl. A queer ripple began at the edge and spread to the center— then the water was still and clearly a picture was revealed. I saw a miniature picture of a circus—perfect in every detail— and all the figures moved. First of all came the big parade. A queer little clown came along driving a huge car. Merciful heavens! The clown was Skipper DePlacido—and that car was her Stude-baker. The next picture was of a snake charmer, garbed as a Turk. As I looked closer, I recognized Babe Itchkawich. High above, on a flying trapeze, was a slim figure. A close-up showed Judy Williams. Who was that man in striped waistcoat and top-hat calling one and all to visit the wonderful side-show? Not—not—it was— Jack Tobin. This wonderful bowl followed his direction and of all the strange monstrosities of the side-show, it revealed the fat lady. It was Claire Fraquelli. Was this metamorphosis a joy or a heart-ache
