latest in collars. and dedicate the ducats
to the bcx. You will be amazed to see
how they accumulate. And best Of all,
the saving habit will come to YOU. That
does not mean lack Of generosity, It
means thought for the future. Some
masculine philosopher said women only
began to save money when they had
passed thirty, but iftthat is true it is be-
cause the savings box idea was not taught
from youth up.-Ne,o Torb Press.

THE WINTER FIELDS.

Winds here. and sleet, and frost that bites
like steel
The low, bleak hill rounds under the low
sky.
Naked of flock and fold the fallows lie,
Ihin-streaked with meager drift. Tho
gusts reveal O.
By fits tn, dim, gray snakes Of fence that
steal
Through the white dusk The hill-foot
poplars sigh.
While storm and death with winter
trample by;
And the iron fields ring sharp, aud blind
lights reel
,et, In the lonely ridges, wrenched with
pain
Harsh, solitary hillocks, bound and dumb
Grave globes, close-lipped beneath the
scourge and chain.
Turks hid the germ of ecstasy, the sum
OF life that waits on summer till the rain
Whisper in April and the crocus come
