As that mistifying vapor pours around me, the Attic beauties fade and I see on the brilliantly lighted stage of 1' Opera, Paris, Catherine Acker dancing to the music of the Frisky Five, with Frank Conley con- ducting, and Jimmie Reber skillfully operating his feet and the Xylophone. The footlights reflect upon one corner of a box Where I see Prof. Kobisk, the greatest theatrical reporter, busy taking notes. Suddenly I hear college yells and see Harold Grange drilling the Big Eleven on the Princeton stadium, and recall those days of glory at the Orchard. Next I find my nostrils filled with the scent of new-mown hay, and discover Irving Beebe riding on a Ford tractor, with Isidore Smith showing him about his farm. In a clear spot of vapor I see Virginia Wilson, through a window of the White House, fVirginia is now the President's own wifel holding a pink tea in honor of her friend, Bee Brown, a society leaderof Wheaton. The scene shifts again to the jungles of darkest Africa, where I perceive Richard H06 and Harriet Northrop, one hunting wild animals and the other taming wild people. In the Latin Quarter of Paris I find Carolyn Duffield and Alvin Fisher teaching art to the natives of that city. I see Fred Newman, New York's best caterer, supplying Lawrence Plummer with his customary pies, made by Helen Selander and Helen Babcock. In the same citv there is a sticky-fiv paper companv. of which Marjorie Nelson is president. Her product is very successful in catching flies and other bugs. At the peak of Mount Blanc I see Wallace Winbolt looking at the stars. and in El Paso I see Philip Rinaldo teaching the natives Greek. I find Harriet Snyder is a superintendent of kindersrartens and plavgrounds for boys only, and Clara Giesler still writes her friends' initials in all her books. I see by the New York Sun. of which Viola Massee is editor, that Nathaniel Losr-h's latest movie production is. How to Box, by Mary Lehman. Caroline Garbe teaches Latin at Wheaton College. of which Mildred Raach is dean. The brightest stars of Broadway are Carl Grote and Julian Sterenberg, who are true professionals at slight of hand and vaudeville stunts. In a beautiful church I see Kenneth Sears in priestly robes. preach- ing to a heathen multitude. among which I notice George Clark and Ouigg Lewis piouslv taking everything in. Knox Creelman and Tom Fisher still grace the streets of Wheaton with their Fords and Dodges.

As the vapor clears away, I catch a gilmpse of Aden Gary lecturing to a host of literary critics, and in a London boarding school for girls I see Helen Andrews, as a teacher, holding forth on How to roll your R's, -and I again find myself free to visit the wonders of the ancient world.
