Norwich bulletin., 1912-07-20

One night not long ago. as I was preparing for bed, fell to thinking about commencement, which was not very far distant. and wondering when it was all over, and the class of 1904 had disbanded, and gone their several ways, what would become of the dif- ferent girls. What life work would they accept, and how would they suc- ceed?
 These thoughts so completely filled my mind that I was not at all sur prised to find myself dreaming about them all after l had fallen asleep.
 It was in the year 1914, pleas ant morning in early fall. I was walking along an avenue, in & strange city, deep in thought, when a fash ionable coupe drew up alongside the curbing, and a young woman attired in a neat, blue costume jumped light ly from the carriage and came to- wards me with:
 Dorothy, can it beN possib1e?'
 At 8 glance I recognized my old classmate, known in our school days the wife of prominent banker. After expressing mN delight at seeing her, after ten long years, I gladly accepted her gracious invitation to ride and was pleasantly entertained with an account of her recent trip abroad Jessie had finally realized her great est ambition when in school and had l become society lady
 By this time We had reached the | business portion of the city and while 1 driving through one of the principal streets l noticed a very tall stone building, the front of which was lit orally covered with posters. and which I soon discovered to be a theatre, let ting my eyes fall carelessly over the different announcements the following met my gaze:
 Miss Jennie Marie Thorndyke will give her fifth annual concert this af- ternoon at 2.S0. She will render with l her usual sweetness her favorite piece, l When Angels Dream After the per formance Miss Thorndyke will be obliged to take the Colonial express for Washington, where she is to sing at 8 charity social tonight"
 After this unexpected declaration of 1 Janette's ability 1t was at once plain to us both that our much loved class mate had fulfilled her youthful prom ises and was now a. noted singer and pianist.
 AS we continued our drive I noticed at some distance ahead a large book store, outside of which blazing pos ter caught my eye; and drawing Jes. sies attention to it, we drove in tha; direction, only to be met by the an. nouncement:
 "The worlds greatest typewriter Miss Elizabeth Hartnett writes z5t words a minute"
 We paused, when to my amazernen saw in the store window e fig1rt seated at desk writing, which looked very familiar and so,5n saw that rnJ supposition was correct, when I reat on another sign;
 We have secured Miss Eartnett 6 ten dollars an hour, to sit in this win dow and show to the public with wha facility she uses the keys of a type writer. She is now engaged in copyinl for the press "The Morning Bulletin for which she will receive one dolla a word"
 It was nearing lunch hour now, s we drove to my hotel, where I bad Jessie good bye. with the promise 0 calling upon her before leaving th city. On entering the wide hall of tn building, l was aceosted by a news Aboy who wore such a pleading looi that l purchased a Courier" and oi reaching my room sat down to loo over the different advertisements whil awaiting the summons for lunch.
