Nor lightly trusting in the present day,
But looking calmly to the deeps OF hell

Not careless of the toll and pain.

That wrong and loss grow less in good and gain.
And earth gives swelling hope of paradise.
With eyes cast down upon the gutter drift
He walks the dusty way.
Nor dreams that there the uaisies lift
Their smiles to heaven all day.

The woman's page to-day, to take
the Pioneer Press for example, is
abont as lively piece of journalism

a special corps Of woman writer's and
editors who are in touch with the

amply qualified to pass on the events
