THE CLASS PROPHECY
By .Jweet Sixteen

when the heading, Private Day School,' attracted my attention, and reading on further. 1 uttered cry of astonishment when the following greeted me:
 Miss Airline Bingham will reopen her school on the first of October; lessons will be resumed on the follow ing day. Those desiring a certificate in French and Latin will receive spe- cial attention. Further information may be obtained at Miss Bingham's apartment, 150 Cleveland avenue"
 After this announcement of Arline's brilliant success, curiosity led me to turn the page where lawyers ads occupied a prominent place, and wondered if any of the class of 1904 could have taken the law as a profes- sion, after the aversion shown to that study while pupils at school Yet, surely, it was there in great black letters, reading: Miss Jane Durham, attorney -at-laW. Consultation at all hours. Advice free.''
 Next to this was the announcement that Bernice J. Rentis's class in elocu- ton will give its closing recital for the year at Hargrave's Auditorium this evening. The pupils have been well instructed in ali branches of the study under the careful supervision of their l teacher, and will have an opportunity | to show their efficiency in the same. The bell ringing at this moment, I went down to the dining room and was no sooner seated than a tall, | dark complexioned young woman en- tered and came towards the table at which l was sitting. Something about | her led me to think that I had seen 1 her before, and so 1t proved to be. for 1 this tall, digntded young woman was | none other than my old friend Ethel Lord. After a hearty dinner we re- 1 paired to my room, where we entered l into a lengthy conversation and soon | found ourselves dwelling on pleasant
 school days in our seminary home. Ii
 was then learned that Ethel had just
 returned from the south, where she was soon to open a select boarding
 school for young girls. who having been spoiled by fond and indulgent
 parents, were placed under her care | ful protection. 1 was very glad tc
 hear this, for remembering Ethel's 1 youthful days. knew she had now ac- 1 complished what she most desired.
 While thus engaged the porter came
 to the door with a letter. the hand
 writing on which I knew to be Alice
 Goodman's. I opened it and was sur. prised to find it headed Laurel Glen"
 but still more so when I learned tha,
 Alice was to become a missionary ant
 would soon sail for China This wa
 an invitation to her farewell dinner
 As it was impossible for me to b,
 present under the circumstances, ",
 started out to the nearest telephon,
 exchange to send regrets to Alice. When We entered the large room 0 the building. I heard a familiar giggle
 and glancing round to see iron whence 1t came, who should I see bu l two more of my classmates doing tn
 telephone act in the most approved manner, This was not to be wondere, at, knowing their propensity for talk ] Ing when in school.
 Az we prepared to leave one of tn ' girls informed me that she had re ceived a letter from Rose Breton tn ? day before, stating that she was noy
 a Red Cross nurse in Roosevelt hos , pital, New York City, where she ha, } charge of the clhildren's ward; and 1 [ is needless to say that while taking tn } temperature and administering tn 3 medicines the little ones receive - hourly lessons in propriety.
 { At this moment Rhe loud peal of tn seminary bell aroused nc from m \ siumbers, and I found that none of tn 3 things had been dreaming about ha
 come to pass, though how many c r them win I cannot say.
