had eloped with Lyle Ryan. Lyle had graduated from Drake University and after spending several years abroad with his bride, had returned to America, and they now reside in Fairview, where Mr. Ryan is city mayor. The next petal brought a great surprise, for I learned that Margaret Dunn had gone on the stage as a vaudeville dancer and singer. Margaret Neville had taught school after her graduation, but was disappointed in her love affairs, and is now living in seclusion with her cat and canary, cooking three meals a day for her brother Michael, a very successful physician in Stone City. Just here I pulled off a petal which, as I read the name Irene Abbey, wriggled away from me and boated into airy space. Now wasn't that like Irene to leave us in doubt. just as she did all through our senior year? But we were in a measure compensated when we read on the next petal that our old alma mater had honored one of our number, namely, Frances Striekel, who, after a course in Coe College, is now science teacher in Anamosa. Loretta Foarde is a seamstress in a small western town, where she makes khaki shirts for the admiring cowpunchers and grows the white rose in front of her cabin door. A learned district attorney in New York City, Lee Van Kirk by name, is heaping honors upon himself by his brilliant arguments in the eases which he pleads. But the next petal did surprise us. Helen Cromer, while traveling in Germany, drew the attention of the peers by her fluent use of their language, and married one of them—a prince, if you please! The long trains of her court gowns add to her stateliness. Woman suffrage is a national movement, and Mary Green, one of its ardent supporters, is devoting her life to the noble purpose of getting the new school building, so much talked of during our last year in old High. On a beautiful white petal was written the name of Grace Hayden, whom we always knew had a splendid future before her. She had been sent as a missionary to Africa, and there has made her permanent home. The last petal dropped from the old doctor's hand, and as he raised his bowed head l saw there a smile of peaceful content. As he shook my hand in farewell l knew that he was well pleased with the investigations into the lives of his old schoolmates.
