Meath a sun that beat on her unveiled
crown
And ever and ever did anxiously
Cry: Am l tanning me nice and
brown"
And brown she grew till ever her face
One big wide freckle did seem to play
And home she fitted to say with pride
You surely can see have been away!"
Sow she is busy by day and night
That dark brown coat from her visage
to scour
and ever she wonders all anxlously:
Shall l get il off till my dying hour?'
Tor an ominous line defines the place
Where the tan stops short and her neck
CLEANS bright
And ever she worries incessantly:
Now am l getting me nice and winter

number of the progressive women
OF the city are agitating the question
of forming Womans Club modelled
after the plans adopted in most cities

which culture and advancement is a
standard. and not social prestige, not
the influence of wealth, not the advan-

pressed woman of the poorest classes
VIII learn that here is an open court
where she can be heard by powerful
friends who can present her wrongs
with united influence for their redress.

place of filth not only in our streets
but within the nameless spots where it

complish marvellous results in this
community, If only those who have
the influence and the power would be
far seeing enough to lay it's founda-
tions broad and deep.
