The waving corn was green and gold,
The damlsk roses blown.
The bees and busy spinning wheel
Kept up a drowsy druRe.
When Mistress StaDdish. folding down
Her linen. white as snow.
Between il laid the lavender.
One summer long g
The slender spikes Of grayish green,
Still moist with morning dew,
Recalled a garden sweet with box
Beyond the oceans blue;
An English garden, quaint and old,
She nSvsrmOre might know:
And so she dropped a homesiCk tear
That summer long ago.
The yellow sheets grew worn and thin.
And fell in many a shred;
Some went TO bind the soldiers wounds,
And some TO shrOud the dead.
And Mistress Standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw,
And violets blossom, planted there
In summers long ago.
But still between the royal rose
And lady lily tall.
Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall.
n spider spreads her gOssamer
Across IL TO and fro
The ghost of linen laid 10 bleach

POPULARITY OF TUCKs.
They Are Seen I'm Fan Shapes and In
Many Forms.

A gown without tucks of some form is
one of the rare specimens this season and
there seems to be many forms, for the
search after variety has revealed the fact
that tucks need not necessarily mean
straight lines. There are tucks with be-
ginnings and seemingly no endings tucks
In fan shapes OF different lengths, tucks in
crescent lines. tucks in coils and wheels,
sible to pinch UP a bit of material.
The whole fabric Of fashion seems to be
wound up in extravaganza outlay from
which there Is no escape If you try to keep
In the procession at all. We surely must
have reached the limit, for there is no space
for more decoration, so we can expect a re-
action which viii swing the pendulum far

And lives in a palace hal.
And the foOtlight maids, with their lights

I've sung of them one and all.

OF the girl you would like to know:
The girl who can cook without paper or

Who is homely and neat, Cld-fashioned and

and deep, having spread around the courthouse
for the last twenty-five years. and Mr.. Plunkitt
says that while he may be moved out temper

men from Mr. Walkers department yesterday
invaded the courthouse. and, lining up in front

This is the initiative taken by the Buildings

benefit the many thousands of struggling Jewish
merchants of the East Side, and as its president
the Rev. DR.. L. Zinser said went a great way
toward accomplishing the purpose of diminishing
beggary. The Gemilath Chassodim movement
originated with the Baron and Baroness de Hirsch
who not only contributed 5000 directly to the

sociatons in many other large cities of the world
Though large sums of money are annually loaned
to the poor of the neighborhood the work of the

that more than 81 per cent of the money loaned
was fully repaid by the borrowers. Jacob II
