Mrs. Lila Day Monroe, a member
of the Social Science club, was absent
from the last meeting, but she wrote a
note regretting the fact that she could
not be present, and sent little poem,
from which, she naively said, the reason
of her absence might possibly be divin-
ed. 1t is entitled ''The Sum of Woman s
Life" and reads as follows:
Upon the morn of life, maid looked out
Around her mouth were lines OF sober thought,
And in her eyes ambitions fire burned bright.
1.-Two gardens will make, she eager cried,
and one to Fame immortal dedicate,
The other shall as DuJy's Plot be known"
twas done; she set to work to delve, to SOW,
To cultivate, to prune. Her purpose wGS
To give these gardens always equal care
And let them stand as earnest of her life.
She cherished the fond hope to live in hearts
QuicL with sweet life when hers was clay.
But seed sown in Fame's garden fourished not
And to her grief brought forth crop of thorns.
The path of Duty's Plot, wherein she toiled,
Slowed seed in sorrow, nurtured it with tears,
All smooth was worn, by weary, aching feet.
And oft they trod reluctant in the narrow way,
For well she knew when occupied in Duty's Plot,
Good seed, and worthy of the other one,
All shriveled up and died from lack Of care.
A wife and mother died. well lay her." then
They said, in this unused plot of ground.n
So in Fames garden stands q broken shaft;
But tiny hands, that hindered her in life,
Chung to her skirts in Duty's narrow path;
Do gather from our Duty's Plot sweet flowers,
The fruits of her own toll, to wreath the shaft.
