SUNDAY IN TOWN

quantity.
Near and deeply. fair and family.
Each one following it's fellow in an echo
clear and true.
Through the streets. clean-swept for
leisure.
Many feet make haste toward pleasure,
And the sound is as the rust1ing OF the
leaves in paths we knew,
How / wish 1 were a-walking In the
autumn woods with you'll
Oh. the fragrance Of the hollows that the
little brooks ran through,
Oh. the scarlet naples burning
Like torch at every turning.
On the way my spirit follows in a
dream forever new
Where from the quiet, distant
meadows,
Dim beneath the mountains shadows.
Came the clank of swinging cow-bells
down the softest wind that blew
Oh. I wish I were a-walking in the au-
tumn woods with youl
We have had our fill Of rowing where
spring blossoms bound the view.
We have played in your Romances,
Danced the nymph-and-shepherd
dances:
Now the summer Of our loving glows
and throbs about u.s. too
In our eye the light yet vernal.
In our hearts the fire eternal.
And when time has touched the branches
and our rose-leaf days are few.
Oh. it's then I'd still be walking In lffe's
autumn woods with you

she had thought there was plenty OF

But a swift glance toward the station
checked the impulse even as she sprang
forward The station was still an

see several carriages driving up 70 II

dust trailing behind

What John Baldwin's feelings were

neither she nor John had thought Of
such an audaeious thing as his offering

n SPINSTER'S
REFLECTIONS

It's awfully insulting when a car gets
SO crowded that a man can't convent
emily read his paper. and has got to see
that ladies are standing.
During the honeymoon a woman tries
to make people think she's been mar
ried long time. Afterward she wishes
her husband would act like a real
brand-new. attentive groom.
There would be few marriages II girls
believed that they were not going to
have any better luck than their friends
in the selection Of husbands.
Writing a love letter makes some
people feel as foolish as falling up
stairs when there's some one to see the
mishap.

METRONOME- Subscriber, Oak

nome is to ascertain how many min
utes, crochets, ETC., of a given piece Of
music are to be performed in one min
Ute The numbers on the scale have
reference to a minute of time. L g..
when the weight is placed at so 1t
means that there will be fifty beats
or ticks Of the instrument in each min
ute. The rate at which any given

easily found when the metronome mark
is placed by the composer at the be-
ginning.
