SHOOTING SEASON IN PARIS.

In the environs of Paris. especially on Sunday.
during the shooting season the woods are full of
sportsmen more or less amateur. Men and women
go out together, the former wearing brown smocks,
with belts, and leather leggings. The women some
times wear the same costume while others wear
tailored suits with short skirts, and still others
who go for the purpose of proving fatal to men
rather than birds and who wander blithefy through
the forests in comic opera shooting dress. Some
of them shoot partridge and grouse when they are
lucky, but larks. thrusheS and blackbrdS rather
than go home without a bag.

HOW SHALL. WE KNOW?

HOW SHALL WE KNOW?
How shall we know that what say
Or what we sing
Brings peace to souls who go their way
In suffering?
we know because the gentle word
And grateful song
have scathed US when with hope deferred
The way seemed long.
How shall know that kindly thought
Or breathed prayer
Is balm to souls whose paths are frauSnt
With ceaseless care?
we know because our darkest ways
Unbidden shine
With cheering gleams-reflected rays
OF light divine.
Go thou, then, forth with song, with cheer;
Go forth with prayer;
For souls bowed low with woe and fear
Are everywhere;
And not one thought act of love
Or tenderness
But will return homing dove
Your soul to bless
