Prophecy of the 1909 Class R. N.
At tho graduation of the nurses
from the Training School of tho Mod
teal Department of tho University of
Oeorgta last Tuesday evening, the
following Interesting class prophecy
was read by Miss ]*oona Hahn, one
of the graduates:
Tonight Is ten years since 1 with
eight others graduated at the old
City Hospital In Augusta. We still
carry out our old custom of writing
letters one to the other on each com
mencement anniversary. I've read
my letters over and over and still
I must glance ovjsr them again.
liet's see! This Is from Mary Ada
■Williams:
Dear Love: How glad I was to get
your sweet letter. Ycr. (Is almost
ten years 'Since we parted, and yet
how often 1 have thought of you and
the others.
I'm awfully lonely tonight. I'nt so
discouraged and disheartened. It's
awfully hard lor me to put my heart
In my work I have all that 1 can
do. The Dr.a are good to me and
I'm successful with my cases. What
more should 1 want? And yet I'm not
happy.
I'm going to tell you all. I have
promised to marry an old man. Just
as refined and lovely as he can be,
but 1 don't love him
Iru ao tired of living alone, of
working, of seeing others have their
own homes 111 ! finally sutd yes," I
knew he had five sons, but not tU
last week did I see them. They rautc
to my wedding, which is to be next
Wednesday O! I.ovv! How can I tell
you? Yes. 1 love Patrick Dick, the
old man's eldest son. and he loves
me. What shall I do? No. I won't
even debate. 1 will marry the man 1
promised.
Write to me.
Always, Mary Ada.

Sha had evidently taken a leaf fkom
the book of the woman who had to re
mind the crlticiser that she had a first
cousin, for it was in a very mild and
courteous tone that she gave her own
Information.
They were sitting near a window that
overlooked Greene street, and they all
saw a pnsser-by wearing a striking hat.
“Now, do you see that hat?" asked the
woman who had just returned from <t
big city where the fashions are sup
posed to have their birth. "Nobody in
New York Is wearing that style.”
"But," said one of the group, "my
sister has another hat at home."
At last the women have found a com
pensating use for their beautiful Ori
ental or haiid-embroidered kimonas.
Time was when these exquisite and
ravishingly becoming garments wore, of
course, not permitted outside of the
boudoir, but that time has now passed
since fashion has decreed that with a
very slight alterattion of kimona of yes
terad may be made into the evening
wrap of today.
But this is not all. Without any al
teration whatever, the most bed-roomy
of lounging robes—provided they are
handsome and becoming—are now worn
as dust cloaks over the cloth suits or
cloaks necessary for cold days when mo
toring is indulged In by tho pursuers
of pleasure.
It is a pity that wo older people can
not accept his sweetly philosophic ac
ceptance of facts as they are and adopt
them, as he to most advantageous
uses.
He uoes not have as many or as costly
toys, this 5-vear-old Augusta boy, as
many of his little playmates and during
the last holiday season, he had only a
tin horn while the other boys had wag
ons and large hook and ladders, toy au
tomobiles that could be propelled likf
bicycles and other prizes rich to the
eyes of Ivoynoo...
But the ...tie fellow was dear to tin
hearts of all his playmates, and so
when the imposing procession was
formed there were half a uozen voices
eager to exclaim, ' Come and ride with
me. Jack!"
He was seen for just a moment t<s
look wistfully upon tile splendid wagons
and then his little chin went up in the
air and he clutcaed tight the tin horn,
evidently mother had said he must not |
borrow or Impose.
No. he said, “I will be the trump
eter.”
And so, after all, to him was given
the conspicuous place in the lead of all
the procession.
They had, after a fashion sadly prev
alent just now. been '.criticising their
hostess unmercifully as they were home- 1
ward bound from the party.
"I really do not think," said one, ;
"that 1 can never again accept one of
her Invitations. 1 was dreadfully sick as I
ter two of her parties, for—”
"Oh, this is really dreadful of us," j
broke In one of the group. “Do let us
hold hospitality received as something ]
sacred.” k

True, there wore one or two who
rather suspected it, but they were
frowned upon as evil-minded persons
whose company was to be avoided. Her
popularity grew apace, and the fame of
her charm spread everywhere.

Her destination was suspected, and
she was followed.
Then, tflen—it was found that the
darkest suspicion had not been dark
enough. Mild were the whispered sto
rjes of a double life in comparison with
what was actually occuring.
She was, this dainty, petted darling,
this irresistibly attractive toy spaniel,
daily visiting a horrid heap of fish
bones patronized by the most vulgar of
canine society. Her innermost nature
had been unsatisfied by the delicate diet
