WHICH,


Those rejecting our every thought
Or those whose gauces our hearts impIore,
Whose fire will neither be tanned nor tnughtf
Which, ali, which. are we drawn most toward.
Eyes adoring eyes adored?
Which is the heart OF hearts we prize,
That which sways with passionate power
Or that which yields us n sacrifice,
Gentle and generous, day and hour7
Which, Of all. do We hold above,
| Hearts most loving or hearts we love?

a library.
Some Of the girls have resolved with the
New Year to give up wearing cerse collars.
