WHEN APPLE BLOSSOMS FALL

When apple blossoms fall, the sky
Is blue as southern waters are,
And fleets OF cloud at anchor lie
Against the dim horizon bar;
And list the bluebird flute and call
While boEolink pours out his tune
Through all the mora and afternoon
When apple blossoms fall,
And earth's green robe about her clings,
Pinned into place by blossoms sweet
AS ever bent beneath the feet.
And woodsy odored things.
When apple blossoms fall, seem
To walk again beneath the trees,
And hear. as in waking dream,
The sleepy drone of honey bees
And life is love, and love is all
II makes Of earth enchanted land
AS on we loiter hand in hand.
While apple blossoms fall;
The bluebirds flute, the thrushes Groom,
And through the golden afternoon
We wander on in sweet content,
With Gods blue skies above US bent
With song and bloom and sunshine blent-
In one glad symphony;
The world seems made for you and me-
And life is love, and love is all,
When apple blossoms fall.

Drinking from the Loving Cup.

Every prosperous club has its loving
cup, but how many of the guests who
see it gracing the banquet know its
origin or the graceful ceremonial which
should be observed in drinking from it:
The cup should have two handles and a
cover, and is handed to the principal
guest as the toasts begin. The guest
takes it by both handles, and standing
turns to the person nearest, who also
stands, and both bow. Then. while the
second guest removes the lid, the first
one drinks, and with another bow passes
the cup to his neighbor, who replaces
the lid and presents it in turn to the
next guest, and so the ceremony is re-
peated.
In the old days of chivalry and of
treachery, as man while drinking
from the two handled cup was prac-
tically defenseless, his companion was
required to remove the cover with his
sword hand that he might not take ad-
vantage of the other. 1t is very pretty
ceremony when gracefully performed -
