Springtime

When last I faced the wind upon this hill, And looked across the valley white and still, I marked no sign of life on bush or tree, Lost in their thoughts they waited silently.

But now the lovely miracle of Spring Pours throbbing beauty into everything; This is no time for bitterness or griefThe hand of God has touched each blade and leai.

Surely the One that glorifies this hourThe One that brings the barren branch to flower, Will leave no reassuring word untold, Nor let a child sleep lonely in the cold.

And then, of course, there was the little Scotch boy who was saving his toys for his second childhood.

A Fortune For Someone

History Lecturer-Can any of you tell me what makes the Tower of Pisa lean?

Corpulent Lady-I don't know, or I'd take some myself.

A Successful Man

The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved popfy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul. Who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. His memory is a benediction.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

A Lady All Alive

Oh, she was a lady all alive ! She bedeviled the beaux Who would woo and wive; She wore sackcloth And no ashes, She wore beads And purple sashes. She wore feathers And fine fancies

Going to routs And plays and dances, With gew-gaws, whims And silver dresses, And pearls in curls, And twirls of tresses. Her jewels shone Like midnight's marchers, Her hair built high As lady Archer's, With brooches, wings And wonders wiry. Her witchy face Was fine and fiery. Her hoop it nearly Spread an acre; She was a credit To her Maker. Her Maker was pleased He could contrive, Such a ladyAll alive.

-Rose O'Neil, in The New York Times.
