~ the afternoon. Mrs. Parker served
dainty refreshments. An ode 10 Mount
Rainier. written by Mrs. c. G. Hradner
was read. u follows:
Rainier, lock at thee often as We may,
thou never Seemst twice alike. Thou canst
not b" senseesa cone OF rocks and snow,
with thy feet on the earth and thy head
among the Stars. To me. In thy various
aspects thou art some woGdrous s,n,ient
thing towering in our mids; and affected
by the moods. thoughts and deeds or tho
children ~ men thai dwell. within thy
horizon. Dost thou look hlue.s cold al
most fainung IN Thy vanishing beauty?
We would know that despair Is wrin siug
the hearts ana bowling the heads in thia
mighty struggle of life. Dost thou stand
lkg cameo III radiant robes of rose
against a pale blue sky? We would know
thAt hope has laid her magic wand on
sinking hearts and lfe Is once more st1ri-
ops aud worth the struggle, Arr thou
stormy, severe and aggressive in thy adj
vancing rusgednesS? We would believe
that discomfort, with powerful arm and
frowning brow. IS stirring up these human
children To mutlny and rage. And M night
when thou sittest there IN peaceful. placid
beauty. rejecting the silvcry ltgh, of the
summer moon dost thou not remind us or
some lovely neither, who can he calm and
AZ rest for sumbcr has weighted the eye
Ids and re.axe1 the limbs Of the restless
children under her care"
