The name was sealed' with a rubber band nor to be remov ed until all the quesu ns wer ans wered. Upon answering the lirst question it was to be sealed also : nd passed to the next person, eacu . 11s wer respectively until the hi raphy was complete, then the nam was disclosed, and each individual's life ?imaginative?was read to to cger listeners by Miss Taylor.
