Haw fair It Is, the world around, Tha changing life: each day's surprise. To see the stars, the land, the sea. To look Into your eyes. To hear the ecstasy of morn, The birds In field and wood rejoice. The madrigals of wind and trees. To listen to your voice. To feel tho warm, firm, throbbing life, The friendly hands our fingers press. The strong, true work In which we share. To feel your soft caress. H"ow fair It Is the world around, How wonderful and sweet the past, That knows its ecstasy Rnd work. That knows your loving heart. A Dream Dispelled.

The conversation had turned upon the subject of husbands, and Mrs. Remsen was giving some pointers to her friend upon the management of these creatures. “Did you ever catch your husband flirting?” asked the advocate of wom en’s rights. “Why,” and Mrs, Bunsen was so embarrassed that she laid down her embroidery while blushes suffused her pretty face, “that is how I did catch him.” Beasts Are Better Housed.
