Pleasures > lamp mas gone oue
And hope put to rout
As sit In the shade Of her sleeves.
An. once could glide to her radiant side
And coo in the shell Of her ear;
With smiles and with bushes she'd listen
In pride
My passionate woolng to hear.
Now at night and at noon through rust.

No answer my wooing receives;
Nor can my arm reach
To the goal Of my speech
As slt In the shade Of her sleeves.
Alas! as Viewed them swell up and up
My spirits sank down and down.
Oh. sometimes think I must take to the
cup,
My horrible anguish to drown.
IL 1t feathers or gas that hath puffed up
my lass?
Weird fancies deNrium weaves.
Whatever the stun
My fate 1t Is rough
I'm lost in the shade of her sleeves!

The New York Sun, apropos Of the
presence Of the picnic season, drops
some timely hints calculated to delight
the epicure. "When you have your
next excursion" remarks the Sun, go
and get some japanese napkins and
wooden plates, which are light to carry
and can be thrown away when used.
Pack everything you can in boxes, and
have plenty Of paraffine paper and wrap
each article up by itself. Provide thin,
dainty slices of bread. buttered before
It Is cut from the loaf, and then
wrapped UP or made into sandwiches,
Of which there Is an endless variety to
choose from. Stuffed eggs. each one
rolled in paper; some kind Of salad,
which can be carried in a Mason jar.
with a mouth large enough to admit a
tablespoon; some toothsome little turn
overs that are not filled with juice, and
some small cakes or cookies that are
easily packed and handled. Make your
YRusslan tea or lemonade and put 1t
Into bottles. You will usually be able
10 procure all the ice you need at the
picnic grounds. A few tumblers and
forks will be about all you will be bur-
dened with on the homeward juorney.
II you go by wagon into the woods and
can have fire, to the other things add
a coffee pot, with coffee and egg ready
mixed in 1t, a pail for heating water,
and a saucepan. Have some potatoes
sliced ready for stewing, or, better yet.
have corned-beef hash chopped and
ready to put over the fire. and II you are
near fishing waters you may be able to
have q catch for dinner. In that case,
remember to take some slices OF salt
pork to fry with the fish. Put some
green corn into the bottom of the
wagon, and when you arrive have a
bed of Goals to roast 1t. A picnic with
such a luncheon Is q bright spot In
ones life and always to be remem-
bered."
A BEMALE CROEsUs:
"Rich," exclaimed the emancipated wo-
man to another; why, she's the queen OF
the Stock exchange"
''she's very lavish. I'm told, in her dis
play"
"she can afford It. She's so rich that
she uses hundred-dollar bills for curl-pa-
pers."-Washlngton Star.

recipes for picnic dishes:
