AT PLAY.

Play that you are mother, dear,
And play that papa Is your beau;
Play that we sit In the corner here
Just as we used TO long ago;
Play so. we lovers two
Are just as happy as can be.
And I'll say: Il love you.' TO you!
And you say: 81 love your to me!
81 love your" we both shall say
All in earnest and all in play.
Or, play that you are the other one
That sometime came and went away;
And play that the light of years agone
Stole into my heart again today
Playing that you are the one / knew
In the DAYS that never again may be,
I'll say: 81 love you!' 10 you,
And you say: Il love your to me!
II love your my heart will say
To the ghost of the past come back to-
day.
Or. play that you sought This nesting
place
For your own sweet self, with that dual
guise
OF your pretty mother in your face
And the look OF that other in your
eyes,
So the dear old love shall live anew,
As | hold my darling on my knee,
And I'll say: Il love you.' to you!
And you'll say: ~ love your TO me!
o. many a strange. true thing we say
And do when We pretend 10 play,

Meeting of Chamber of Commerce Commit.
 tee and Mayor Yesterday.
 Tn the mayors office yesterday after. noon the committee appointed at the last meeting of the chamber of com merce to inquire into the needs of the city in reference to larger water mains and increased service in time of fires held a conference upon the subject with Mayor Hendrick and Chief Kennedy of the fire department. The members of the committee are c. A. Baldwin, John c. North and William s. Welles and all were present except the lat ter.
 The committee was appointed in con sequence of a statement made at the meeting by MT. North that the insur- ance rates in the city were high be- cause the water supply was not ade- quate for use in case of large fires. No definite action was taken in the matter yesterday, but the situation was thor oughly discussed and another meeting will be held in the near future, at which report will be formulated and submitted to the chamber of commerce at the annual meeting of that body this month.
