BE Patient.

They are snch tiny feet
They have gone such i little way to meet
The years which arc required to hrrak
Their steps IL cvcnnrss, and maze
Them go
More sure and slow.
They are such little hands.
Be kind-things are SO new, and life but stands
A st-p beyond the doorway. All around
New day has found
Snch tempting things To shine np0n. and sn
The hands are tempted oft, you know.
They are such fond. clear eyes.
That widen 10 surprise
At every turn They are so oflCn held
To sun or shOwerS-shnwcrS suOOn lisprlrd

Love asks, for snch, more grace.
They are such fair, frail gifts,
Uncertain as the riffs
OF light that lie along the sky
They may not be here by and By,
Give them mol love. but more above
And har'lrr-raticnce with the love.

Tuesday evening the pupils Of Miss
Cora Parker, instructor in art at the
state university, gave an exhibition in
the studio Of the university. The work
of the pupils was hung on the walls
and placed on easels and made a fine
showing. Some Of the pictures in oil
show considerable talent and are well
handled. One OF the most pleasing
canvasses was picture of two dolls by
by c. Greenlee. 1t was unique study
and well done. The stiffness of the
dolls was perfect and the coloring was
good. There was no attemIt at ideal
izatiop, it was natural. Some OF the
water colors were exquisite. Dainty
flower pictures were in the majority and
some of them were very natural and
alive. The clay modelling by the second
preparatory class was excellent. The
wood carving class was represented by
some pretty work. Miss Dora Harley
had screen that was very tasteful.
The upper part was OF carved wood, a
pattern OF morning glories being the
design. The pen and ink sketches by
Miss Alice Cleaver were among the best
things in the exhibit. Her work shows
originality. A great deal of it is taken
from life. Some Of the figures were
indeed llfe-like. She is studying to be
an illustrator and will no doubt make a
success of it for her work now shows
good results.

ing far and wide -especially in whist
circles. The Omaha whist club was

A new social club is being formed in

Order OF Friendly Enemies" according
to the Record: The foundation idea OF
this organization is the getting together
of comfortable number OF respectable
people who have been more or less
estrangei by business, political and
social transactions in the past. Whist
is to be the principal diversion of the
membership, while music, dancing and
an occasional banquet will be INDUCED
in to more or less degree. Ladies are
to be eligible to membership on the same
terms as the gentlemen. Those Of either
sex who do not speak as they pass by
in the ordinary course OF traffic or social
endeavor are to be brought into this
club and induced to lay aside their
pique during the session. when they may
after the lodges adjournment, resume
the tangled thread Of their misunder-
standings and continue to hate each
other to their hearts content.
