There are songs enough for the hero
Who dwells on the heights Of fame;
1 sing for the disappointed
For those who missed their aim.
l sing with a fearful cadence
For one who stands In the dark.
And knows that his last best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
l sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight OF the goal;
For the hearts that break in silence
With a sorrow all unknown;
For those who need companions.
Yet walk their ways alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers,
Who share loves tender pain.
1 sing for the one whose passion
Is given all in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way
1 sing with a heart o'erflowing,
This minor strain today,
And T know the solar system
Must somewhere keep in space
A prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race.
For the plan would be imperfect
Unless it held some sphere
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.

IDEAS IN WINDOW CURTAINS.
SOME OF THE NEWEST AND PRETTIEST
DRAPERIES IN THE SHOPS AND
HINTS ON THEIR ARRANGEMENT.

This season there is a marked leaning toward
! ecru and coffee coored lace curtains to hang
against the window panes. These sash curtains are
necessity IN city houses as a screen. and a uni
form appearance for the entire front Of the house
demands the style of material from basement
TO the top story. Unless second pair Of lace cur
tains hung inside the ROOM sash curtains to give
protection should hang straight to the sill without
looping back.
Although pretty designs are always shown IN Re-
naissance, Irish Point and novelty laces in pure
white and cream there is increasing call for the
light brown linen colors. This may be traced
possibly the popularity Of Point dAraoe cur
tains. This style OF lace offers wide in
choice, both in patterns and price and gives also
field for original handicraft for the woman clever
with the needle and gifted in the creation of de-
signs.

Once from his harem fed in sudden tears,
And had this sentence the cty's gate

Hung like the accents of an angels voice,
And evermore, from the high barbacan.
