"Ph9be."

"Phebe."
This is the title of handsome brochure
just issued as souvenir of Brightlook
Hospital containing a clever poem by
Miss Alice Clark and excellent illustra-
tions by Miss Fanny Ide, both young
ladies contributing their talent for this
worthy institution.
The poem describes in simple yet
charming way the visit to the country
with other "fresh.air" children, o1
Phoebe,
"a little city maid,
Whose home was in the slums,'
her Joy at the freedom of the country
life, the farmers hospitality and the
beauty and fragrance of the wayside
flowers. But joy soon gave way to pain
as a fall from the farmers cart caused q
broken limb.
"They carried her to the hospital
Called Brightlook, in the town,
And there upon a little cot
They gently laid her down."
Here kind friends and attendants min,
istered to her, playmates called, and the
birds came to know her so well that she
often wished they could talk as we'll as
sing. Finally the phoebe bird came and
to her great surprise called her name,
which was explained to her as parable
of Gods love and care for her. Health
and strength came at last
"Then back to the dreary tenement
Which after all was home,
For mother and little sister were there
Waiting for her to come
She carried those happy memories.
Which would always be the same;
The sweetest of all that a little bird
Had called her by her name"
Miss Ide has already won laurels in
magazine illustration and her full page
drawings of the city maid, the wayside
fence, the bird at the hospital window
and the final illustration where the
dreary tenement home is contrasted with
the farmers cottage all surrounded with
flowers and trees. are very artistically
done. The book is sumptuouslv printed
on deckle-edged paper at the office of the
st. Johnsbury Republican and the edition
is limited to $50 numbered copies. The
souvenirs are sold at one dollar for the
benefit of the Hospital and may be OBJ
tained at the Republican Office, and the
stores of F. o. Clark, Don c. Stiles and
Mrs. F. E. Rowell.
