Sorrow came to him with a pleading face;
He would not rise and bid her enter In;
She seemed to claim In him too large q space,
And he WAS careless, full OF mirth and sin.
So passed she onward Then 1t CHANGED one

When autumn winds in woods were making

Again did gentle sorrow fare that way,
And heard him mourning, for his love had

In Bud.

A dewy, fragrant rosebud always brings
A thought Of little children to my heart,
And when the soft, sweet w~rappings fall apart
A sense OF something lost around 1t clings.
The close-shut bud, folded with loving care,
With promises Of beauty shining through,
Partly reveals and partly hides from view
The possibilities that s!umber there.
The bud is sweeter than the open rose.
The grown-up man less perfect than the
child
Both child and bud seem fiawless, indebted,
But what the blossom time will bring, God
knows.
We're oft impatient for timo to unfold
The tender, hidden secret of the rose;
While VIC forget to watch, he will disclose
A cankered heart, or else II heart OF gold.
Florence A. Jones, In N. Y. Observer,
