dentist now, but when we asked him
| how he was getting along, he told us
/ that although most Of his patients
were Normalites, and trade was rather
light, he still managed to pull out.
Yes Helen Ringroso Is proprietress
4 Of that tea store we just passed. Helen
/ gained SO much experience while TAX
| ing care Of her fathers place that she
finally decided to run in competition.
Next door to Helen's place was a
pretty little candy store Looking
| through the window. we sa Elsie Nc
Crum and Nellie Minor. behind the
counter. Nellie was drawing pictures
| for the boxes, and Elsie was (say)
sampling the contents. Standing in
the doorway, offering sweet smiles to
passers by as inducements was Alice
I Nance. 1t is needless to add that the
aforesaid smiles were the cause of q
| rush on the candy market.
When we saw a large yellow wagon
go by, and Roots Hand Laundry on
the side, we. were interested. Burritt,
king Of Roughhousers is the happy
manager Of the laundry. He gets the
orders, and she does the work. At
present we do not know his address?
but he still hangs out at Maple HILL
II any Of you were sitting on a plan
ct, and heard music issuing from a
star, we are sure you would be star
tied, and especially where. said music
sadly resembled singing. Where this
star was near enough, we sought the
source Of the music, and found that
all the noise came from a store run
by Helen Cunningham, and Linea
nh nc AvaS naiy -
ing music was very simple Their
silent partner, Huldah johnson would
sing to the customers. and before they
recovered from the shock, Helen and
Linnea sold them enough to start q
store Of their own. We were told that
Huldah had been respondent for
time. but lately she has begun to feel
more (Fflmore1 cheerful. and her
most popular song is ..O-man, Oman
(Ohman), by the fountain I await
thee"
Hearing q loud scraping and shut
fling Of feet, as we passed large
building, with barred windows, we
fent in to find the cause Of all the dis
turbance. When once inside we saw
that 1t was a prison, but still we could
not find the source of the noise. Fin
ally we came to q large room in the
center Of which, were two young
men. They were Harry Siderofsky
and Johnny Begley. Both boys are
spending their time giving exhibitions
OF the Fox-Trot, Lamp-Post Glide,
Homeward Stagger. and other famous
danes at the prisons. If that doesn't
make the convicts glad they are in
prison, we don't know what will.
BY this time We began to wonder
as to what had become Of our old
friend Rose Fox but our fears were
soon set at rest, when we saw her
coming out OF handsome building
on corner. She told us that she was
now running correspondence school
for the main purpose Of teaching peo-
pie to smile and be cheerful. We
know from past experiences, that
Rose lis success, for when she was
in High school, she always was a good
sport.
We were rather startled by vision |
which appeared before us, but it only
proved to be Bement FIibbard's neck 1
tie, Beinent, who was our slangiest
classmate, as we'll as sport, often told i
us that he would never get hitched |
unless he could cop dame with a |
steady Job But since then we have |
learned that he has not lived up to |
this. for he is now hitched, as he |
would say, and is happy, and we know
that Gladys (is) too.
Helen Raphael is now helping her
fathers business by dressing up in |
the very last word in style and walk
ing through Main street. They say It I
IS q fine advertisement and that she I
always has a large crowd of admir-
ing women following ner and they /
eventually land in the store.
Caroline Vessels is the proud pub
Usher of series of lectures entitled, |
sHow to be brutally frank on all oc-s
casions.n In the preface she ex-
plains that she is we'll qualified to |
write such things as she had always
practiced the principle while at /
school.
The loud changing Of a bell startled |
us, and the local police patrol came
flying along, driven by long-haired |
poetic looking young fellow whom he
saw in an instant was William j.
Burns Fletcher. After being disap-
pointed in two affairs of the heart, |
and being in some doubt as to the |
third, he thought he would devote his |
life to making things easy for the un-
fortunate; SO he donated this beau
tiful auto patrol, and gives them a |
ride, istead Of making them walk to
the cooler.
We were afraid that the next
star would bump something. as it's
course was very erratic, but when |
we saw that it was trolley car, we
breathed easier Jack Street was the |
motorman, hence we have Street
car, and Jimmy Roche was the con-
ductor. Jimmy's professional name
