How Gould 1 Know


SO many flowers bloomed In that MONDAY sun.
How could know
That when trod on one
And crushed its golden glow,
Now wandering in dim lowlands brown and
sere,
The tiniest faded blossom would seem doar'
How could know
There were so many days the sunshine kissed,
How could know
When one gayy missed
And laughing let II so.
That In long watches OF some solemn night
Dawns dullest ray 1 should call heavenly
How could know
so many dear ones in those happy years,
How could know
That when Knocked their tears
And left them loving so,
In lonely. barren after-tlme Ia pray
For weakest touch OF hands flung awayi
How could know
Fannie b. Dillingham;, In Lippincott'a
The Hiu OF Gold.
The ragged rail fence Just loafed along
In leisurely zigzag line
Down the side OF the hill, and wandered
out
To the murmuring slopes OF pine.
And had only TO climb the fence.
Or go through a crumbling gap,
TO let gold spill down out OF my arms.
And overflow from my lap
And the fence never cared q single bit,
For all 10 was there 20 guard,
And might have doubled my golden spells
Untroubed OF watch or ward.
A careless old fence, and yet the hill
Broke splendidly on the eyes
Gold clear out % the west, my dear,
And gold clear up to the skiesi
And you needn't say: "oh it's fairy
talei"
With that odd little scornful nod,
For IL happens TO DO our own East hill
Grown over with golden rod.

When men and women began 10 have commercial

the spreading ambition OF rulers led them to wage
wars and conquer or be subJugated, then new I'M
presslons OF dress were received and gradually the
costume OF one nation would depart from the sim

What stimulated the dressing in England
was the coming of the Normans and Flemngs
under William the Conqueror. These warriors
inclined to be "dudsh' and paid great attention to
the adornment of their persons. They were foppsh

hardy soldiers spent great sums to procure novelties
