would that my love were lily fair
And would that were a sunbeam bold,
Still to bo dressing her flowory hair
All day long with my airy gold.
OR would that she We're the dew that lies
In tn rose and the rose tree were,
TO fold my red leaves over her eyes
And make my sweetness n part of her.
Would were II breeze that Is where it will
And she leaf in some lonely place.
How would cling to her, sing to her, till
She gathered me UP i'll her green embrace.
Or would that she We're fawn so gay
And within some lowly bed
Where oft her sivery feet would stray
And dimplo tho turf above me spread
Nay, leave tn sunbeam the light that's his
And leave the lily her airy gold,
And give me my maiden. Just rs she is.

Viewing the occasion i'll the foregoing

some useful suggestions to those tokiny
part III this high social function.
1t Is scarcely necessary to go over the
stereotypcd list of prohibited actions.
yet there are some few violations of
good manners that may be specified
since Their occurrence is so Common n
matter. In the first place, previous to
being served and i'll the waits between
courses, one should sit entirely at case,
not playing with napkin, watch charm
or any OF the table fittings or utensils.
AS soon as person is served with any
course he should devote his attention 70

all should avoid the appearance of r. ,.o,,
Gus haste, no matter what ny bn lin
condition OF his appetite, It is not re-
quircd that any plate r, which mo has

Or course these rules do not apply 10
those extremely informal occasiors
where all present. are expected in large
degree to help themselves, for by the
same rule that one loohs out for his own
interests or would save pains on the
part OF his entertainers he would prove
mindful of the comfort and convenience
OF all with whom he was associated.
The proper use of the knife, fork and
spoon is y matter still receiving much
discussion. AS to the article which the
guest Is expected to use, that will usually
be sufficiently indicated by the hostess
Ill supplying the guests, but there is :,
safe old rule which may be followed
on any occasion: If i'll doubt, delay ior
Il kttle. if necessary, and follow the OK

though from courtesy the request ia

measures, which DR.. Ellen r. Smith
tells exactly how to secure. To get Il

draw Il knife across it, thus leaving the
bowl OF the spoon exactly level full. If
one-half spoonful is desired, divide
the level spoonful lonGthwisc with Il

Social and
PERSONAL

The intense heat and the absence of
a very large number of persons from
the city accounts for the unusual
uuietude in a social way. The people
who usually combine In Scranton's So
cial pleasantries are either many miles
away at the seashore or in the noun
tains or are established in their sum-
mer homes at nearby resorts. The few
remaining are so very few as to render
impossible anything aside from an oc-
casional impromptu ana informal gath
ering.
One of these was small dancing
party at the Country club lodge last
night. There We're only a score or so
present
Today the Country clubs golf team
goes to Wilkes Barre to play on the
Country club links the third match
with the Wyoming Valley team. 1t
was not positively known last night
who would comprise the Scranton
team, though it will probably be made
up of six players who have participated
in the two matches already played on
the Scranton links.
