Lent
In pensive wise my lady stands,
A gilded prayerbook in her hands,
4er face averted from the world,
A flag of penitence injured
For this is Lent.
The world the flesh, and Romeo
Are all forgot; but then, you known,
Her sackcloth clothes dream of grace,
While ash of roses tints her face
For this is Lent.
A thing demure, she listens well
To what the churchmen have 20 tell;
But all the while a cherub fair
OF her attention has a share
Though this is Lent
For maidens though they pious be,
Will hearken to Loves softer key,
And woman is but women when
There comes TO her the man of men
Though it be Lent.

plan without reserve is Mr.. w. T. Stead.
Mr.. Stead says: mo one who reflects for
moment upon the conditions of modern
civilization can doubt the need of such an
Institution as a marriage bureau. 1t is
needed in order to afford the marriageable
