The Garden Nun

The Garden Num-
O slender lily. white and tall
Cloistered within my garden wall,
Hast e'er known sin?
/ look in vain upon thy face
For aught Of passions story trace
OF strife within.
Here beside thee is the rose,
Wanton for every wind that blows
From up the south;
And throweth back her lovely head,
To better give the royal red
of her sweet mouth.
What dost thou think Of this, my nun,
Who canst not even bear the sun
To shine on thee?
Dost feel the need to turn away
Afeekly to droop thy head and pray
To go love-free?
A daring lover is the wind.
Msvhap some morn thou'lt wake to find
He's dared love thee:
Has broken in with kisses bold.
And trailed thy petals In the mould
To teach thee charity.

Because a girl takes a position Of SER
vice in a store, says Sally Joy White in
March Womans Home Companion, is no
reason why she should proclaim a per-
sonal declaration of independence to
every customer by her department to-
ward her; she simply cannot afford to
do it, and the sooner she realizes it, the
better ii will be for herself. Let me
whisper a secret to you girls who expect
to take some similar position by and by.
1t is this: You will find that courtesy
self-respect and an interest in the bust
ness in which you are engaged are the
conditions of ultimate success, and no girl
need fear failure if she has added to these
a natural ability to do the work she has
undertaken. Tranquility of spirit should
be cultivat ted; and If in addition to this
the mind be habitually occupied with ele
waiting thoughts to the exclusion of the
petty, the ignoble and the sordid, the
girl will not only succeed, but she will
win friends whose friendship is worth
having and retaining, who will regard her
with respect and admiration, and make
her in their own minds the pattern, upon
which other women in her line of bust
ness may model themselves. Remember
that love is a magnet that attracts The
best in everybody. because it consciously
or unconsciously seeks the best. Is this
method not worth a conscientious trial?

Freak is word that is used In the
vocabulary of the social vernacular of
our day with quite a different significance
from the sense given in the dictionaries
We find in the latter, says the New York
Tribune, that the meaning OF the word
freak is given as "a fantastic notion-a
humor-a whim." 1t is used nowadays
in fashionable argot to denote a person
who Is not OF "the crowd" How was the
dance last night"' you will hear one So
ciety girl ask of another: 1T would not
have been half bad If Mrs. X. had not
filled up her rooms with so many freaks"
might be the answer, both girls under
standing that the expression simply
meant people who were not of their set.
Crank" is another designation that IS
frequently used to describe some individ-
ual who presumes to have some indvid-
uality. 80 and so is a perfect crank"
you will hear said Of a sensible young
woman who has tastes which she prefers
to cultivate rather than follow the rou-
tine of society. "You know the Us are
all cranks," will be the sweeping classfi-
cation of a clever family whose member RS
are i'm society, but not altogether of
it, by reason of their liking for things
outside the beaten tracks of convention
ality.
So It will be seen that one may be either
a freak or crank in the estimation o.
certain people, and yet be a very intel
ligent, attractive man or woman.

1t was progressive euchre party, says
the New York Times, and she was the
prettiest and most frivolous lookping per-
son present. How could any one who
looked like doll and dressed like a
fashion plate be anything but frivolous! !
The members of the club, which met
around from house TO house, felt sure
that the pretty and frivolous one had not
an idea in her head that was more prac-
tical than her own gowns. There did not
linger a thought in their minds that the
refreshments, served at every meeting of
the club, would be any less inviting at her
house than theirs. In these days of cater
ers d lack of household knowledge does
not count. But when the eventful day
came there was a little gasp of surprise
when there was served the most delicious
cake any one had eaten, and it bore the
unmistakable evidence of being home
made. No caterer could make such cake,
neither could a maid Cake making re-
quires a cultivated hand on the spoon.
