BUILDING UP THE CORNERS.

walls unfinished stood
Like some wind-wreck.i forest monarch In

Men appeared above its walls again with
busy hands and feet.
And learned that while I'd wondered why
such Incidence should be
They'd been building up the corners that my
own eyes could not see.

out for q career;
You had not IA DOUBT about him. you had
ne'er qualm of fear.
Day 10y day you saw him growing. and you
eloried in his strength
Just rs ii yourself possessed IL. but there
came time AZ length
When the structure. as you saw II, strove no
more TO reach the sky;
And your anxious heart was anguished that
his glory had gone by.
But again you looked, and marve!ed; for
the man was growing i'll.
And You watched his rise TO greatness with

WOMEN AND DRESS.

II there is one point concerning
dress on which women are continuous
ly and permanently agreed. it is that

into the subject at all. or. al any rate,
that it is very far from being the
raiscn d'etre OF dress AMI fashion. We
dress because We Ike 10 see. and feel.

things, and all nice women are as care
FIJI of their appearance. as delicate
in their dislike to ugiinass, coarsenass
and yalgarity. when they are wholly

are in that of mea. In fact. more so,

However. il cannot be denied that in
nine cases out OF ten the normal man
is beneath even contempt in his ap'
probation of the niceties in dress. The
