How can you write poem, Why
IT'S easy enough IL you only Try
Pick out a word. for example, June"
And then on the line below write spoon.
Attic end o. the following line write dove"
It's just the thing tos rhyme With "loye.'
Make tho final word OF another "kiss,"
twill O, so perfectly wish bliss
The next line you may end with 'vlfs."
And the following one with welded lie.'
Then. IL YOU wish. ring 10 "remorse,"
And wind it up with tAe word divorce"

Social life is controlled not little by
the Lenten season 10 is seen here In
Wheeling as elsewhere. Where the
fasting DAYS are not observed By oil, the
portion that does observe them exercises
q silent and repceSsiye inuuence over
those who do not acknowledge the dis
cipline, and much which they would
like 10 dOis postponed until the peni-
tential season is over. The world
knows no Lent, In the sense here used,
and It's pleasure seekers are stated WIN
the rounds Of enjoyment which are open
TO them. The round of parties and din
ners aud visiting and social duties OF all
sorts become q routine that one yields
I'D 10 without protest, and Lent
70 such persons, even IL
they are not religious furnishes
wholesale relief from the pressure OF
eDRagenents and the dissipation or
enjoyment. IL Is also great relief 70
dev0ut and worthy people who are
leaders in society, and alse influential
persons 10 the religious sphere. They
carry into social life the elements that
make it wholesome and inyigorat.ng.
1t Is with these people that Lent Is
realized I'm social life ln It's best
form. The entire season, if taken as q
spiritual opportunity, may be made 10
society and in common lie wonderful
belD in the reireshment and regener3-
tiOn Of the individual man or woman.

The last week repeated the stories OF
its immediate predecessors, and the rec
ord this morning has the same pleasant
tale TO tell Of days of sunshine filled
with enjoyable incidents aud events Of
q minor nature, with no one feature or
