Our Betty has made a fairy land Of a horne in the hills of Maryland; She seems to be leading a lVappy life As Cooper's most devoted wife. I see Cairnes and Castle taking active parts in a faculty meeting at W. M. C. They are discussing their department of history. The vision coming to me now is in a foreign country. It is in a school in Japan, and there is "Taky" teaching English to a large class .of Japanese girls and boys. Back to Westminster again. Harry Bratt is leaving the high school with Math papers and books under his arm. Ah, his wife is coming to meet her math professor, and they walk on together. They stop at a large department store and ask for the proprietor, Mr. Lyman DeWitt Earhart. John Yingling comes in while they are talking and acquaints them with the fact that Ruth and he are entertaining at dinner the following evening at their home, and request the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Moore Br~tt. The Lyric is crowded to hear a great pianist. Who is that whom the audience is clapping so frantically for? C. G. Warde takes her place at the piano and plays a piece of her own composition. Tome Institute looms in the crystal ball and "Matty" fills the prin- cipal's chair. .

There are two doctors who practice simply as health doctors for this institution. They are conversing with two of the teachers now. They are Doctors Stone and Warner. I see Tom Winters running a ranch in Wyoming. He must have fol- lowed the old slogan-"Go west, young man, go west." Who is this lawyer speaking in the U. S. Supreme Court?
