AN INDIAN sERENADE.

By Percy Bysshe Shelley. I arise from dreams of thee
 In the first sweet sleep of night. When the winds are breathing low, And the stars are shining bright; I arise from dreams of thee.
 And a spirit in my feet Hath led me-who knows howl
 To thy chamber window, sweet! The wandering airs they faint
 On the dark, the silent stream And the champak odors fall
 Like sweet thoughts in dream; The nightingale's complaint
 It dies upon her heart: As I must die on thine,
 O beloved as thou art! O lift me from the grass! l die, l faint. I faiil Let thy love in kisses rain
 On my lips and eyelids pale. My cheek is cold and white, alasi My heart beats loud and fast; O press 1t to thine own again,
 Where it will break at last.

driving by the family will be frequent. Recently brougham, landau and victo- ria were sent up from New York. Colonel Roosevelt prefers walking or riding, but Mrs Roosevelt and the oldest daughter, Alice, use the carriages a great deal.
 Mrs. Roosevelt when driving usually wears black toque hat trimmed in gray and ornamented with a feather She wears black cloth coat and feather boa.
 Mrs Roosevelt and her daughter Alice are familiar figures in the shops. Like Mrs Cleveland Mrs. Roosevelt promises to be & prime favorite with the trades people. easily suited and always of kind ly, considerate manner.

 The President always walks to church and the White House horses and car- riages are rarely in use on Sundays. Mrs Roosevelt has pew In St. John s Episcopal church, which is several blocks nearer to the executive mansion than the little church where the President worships. He walks with Mrs. Roosevelt to St. Johns usually, when he and Miss Alice or one of the other children go on to the Grace Reformed Two or three times Mrs Roosevelt has ac .ompaniod the President, and once the President sat for a Sunday in Mrs. Roosevelt's pew.
 On week days the President has adopt ed the plan of leaving of work promptly at 4:3o. devoting the rest of the day to i outdoor exercise.
