BUT LETMY oEEAMs, MY DREAMS
 ABIDE.

By Julia Nicely Finch.
 Take what you will. oh. ruthless days; i The zest of living and the joy; Let all lifes gold show it's alloy. Ring false when flung upon the pave; Let fond hopes die and in the grave Be buried out of sight and sound But one bright boon my spirit prays; One little rift within the haze Of darkness all about outside Let but my dreams, my dreams abide. Such little dreams they are; so brief; Their little lives are as the leaf On loosened stem that falls to earth; Such sweet, sad moments gave them birth; They are such joy, such joy to me. Within the dusky night they hide As little children shut outside
 Some lovely room of warmth and cheer Who finger in the hallway near They are to me so dear--so dear Ahl let my dreams with me abide! Their spirit with me all day long Gives me endurance, stern and strong: Their whispering voices soft and clear Bring back a past so dear. so dear That all the fears that stretch between (The years so full of doubt and wrong)- Are to me as they ne'er had been; They are such little things, my dreams My dear, sweet dreams! as sudden gleams Of sunshine thro' the clouds that hide The heavens from me: let them abide! There is so much of cloudy weather; Friends foregather, grow together And then are thrust and torn apart; The human heart, a woman's heart Is often one great wound and smart Unhealed that must be born about; The day is dim with dread and doubt But ah! the night! The dear, good night And all it's best and brief delight: Do as you will; bereave and chide, But let my dreams, my dreams abidei

BIRM INGRAM PARTY
 RETURNS FROM ST. LOUIS.

The party of Birmingham people who went to St. Louis under the chaperonage of Mrs. A. B. Elford and Mrs. Ida
 Adams returned Thursday afternoon af- ter delightful visit of ten days to the Louisiana Purchase exposition. The par ty during their stay in St. Louis were entertained at a private house and ev- cry thing that could be done for their comfort and pleasure was arranged in advance. A systematic programme was arranged for each day and the exposi- ton was seen to the best advantage by reason of the careful and intelligent thought bestowed upon the days itin- erary. In the evening the party dined in the attractive foreign cafes or in town as they preferred and after dinner their evenings were spent on the beautiful la goons or in seeing the attractions on the Pike. the brilliant thoroughfare of the exposition. A number of bright incidents occurred to add to the pleasure of the young women in the party and on one occasion when dining in one of the cafes on the exposition grouIAs, the guests

GOLF IS LOSING FAVOR
BY plEpRIcH kNIcKERBockER.

New York August 6.-The coming month marks the zenith of the season and New port resort will be at its best. Conditions have materially improved since last week and there is an outward show of much sliyeliness. Bellevue avenue is thronged all the morning and afternoon with au- tomobiles and smart traps of all kind' and the greensward of the Casino lawns is almost obscured of a morning by the constantly moving panorama of women and men beautiful with summer raiment; but those who know Newport and It's inner life understand how deceptive is this semblance of life and hustle, and how, even with fifty dinner parties a week. the season is dull and slow-as Newport seasons go. Lawn tennis by day ana bridge by night are the games to whlch all Newport is a slave. Several instruc- tors in bridge whist are unable to sup ply the demand, for even those with far knowledge of the game have sought the services of these professionals. This fact alone is proof conclusive that up to this time Newport has not been at Its best, for with a ceaseless round of dinner dances and balls there could be no time for ca rdc

About 1t were gathered several southern girls and one of them had despatched note to the leader of the orchestra asking him to play Dixie for the southern girls" He bowed several times, loked delighted with himself and in few moments the strains of Dixie flooded through the cafe. The girls applauded and at the other tables there was a ripple of applause from those who were unconscious that the leader of the orchestra was direct Ing his glances toward an appreciative group of southern girls.

Golf on the Decline.

Notwithstanding reports to the contra ry. golf at Newport is still on the decline md only a few of the faithful patronize the links. The new members of the Coun- try club are for the most part those who have no part in the ultra-fashionable summer life at Newport. For the first time in the history of the institution the club is without chef and it is impossible to obtain even a meagre luncheon after a hard s-hole match The society women still devoted to golf are Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Mrs. Maude Barger-W Wallach. Miss Edna Barger, Mrs. Royal Phelps Carroll. Miss Anna Sands, Miss Margaret Busk and Miss Maude Wetmore.

Rov..l Visitor Expected.

There have been previous Newport seasons when the outlook was apparently hopeless at this time of the year and then
 there suddenly appeared upon the horizon
 some social favorite or titled foreigner
 who saved the day. Two years ago this honor fell to Consuelo, Duchess of Marl- borough. and last August Newport only emerged from. the doldrums when Mrs.
 Ogden Goelet brought the Duke of Rox- burghe on the scene. Now all eyes are upon Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt. It is known that she Is to entertain some mem bers of Emperor Williams court at Beau lieu late next month. but just who he will be is dark secret. Should the Crown Prince, the Emperor's son. come over, he would be entertained in fash ion that would be mangnificent even for

One Use for It.

From Success
 George Ade at recent banquet was asked to speak on success. 'I suppose that failure Is more familiar than success to all of us." he said. We work away. Four things fail. The fifth thing succeeds The harest workers have the most failures, but then they have the most successes, too.
 "One of my early failures was melo- drama that I travelled all the way from Chicago to New York to sell to a mana ger. This was in my youth, when I had confidence in myself. The manager re- turned my melodrama. He said he didn' t care for it.
 'I pointed out the merits in it which he had overlooked. proved that he would make a great mistake if he should not accept this work. But he shook his head.
 ".Can't you use 1t at alI?' I asked des- perately.

Famous Retween carouses.

From the London Telegraph.
 The cynic will smile at the official cele- bration of George Morland's centenary by a show of hundred of his works at the India Museum, South Kensington. That sad scapegrace-who painted 4oo0 pictures in the intervals between his carouses, sold most of them and died beggar at fl on October 29. 104-assuredly never expected the posthumous patronage of the board of education. Nevertheless. the board has done a wise and popular thing in honor ing Morland-one of the few British paint CTS of real talent who have ever enjoyed the sincere admiration of the crowd.
