LIFE'S HAZY WHIRL
This lovely month of Slay just clos
ing; has appropriated more than her
share of blessings. She not only has
had the verdure which is pecullaily
her own, but the showers which should
have gladdened April, waited for her,
and now the roses which should be
June's heritage, ar blooming, many,
of them, in May. Even the brides for
got the superstition about May being
an unlucky month for weddings, and
an unusual number have chosen this
month for their nuptials. An up-to-date

"Here's a, woman, lovely woman
Gladdest in her gladness when she's glad:
Saddest in her sadness when she's sad;
But her gladness when she's glad.
And her sadness when she's sad.
Aren't In It with her badness when she's
bad."
Another:
"Here's to the man who loves his own
wife
Loves his own wife alone
For there's many a man who loves an
other man's wife.
When he should be loving his own."
