Why should spirit be aware
Only by throb of heart and brain,
or homo and memory and despair,

Why should a spirit be aware
Only by throb of heart and brain,
OF hope and memory and despair,
And happiness and pain? = =
Why should it have a conscious being
But by the senses five?
Have orly eyes the power Of seeing
Might not soul in another harma thrive!
Are not the flowers and the stars and the
winds alive?
What sound and light,
: Hearing and sight
Mean to a lily tall and white f-aT..s

What a star i
Dreams afar III
No mortal knows.
But we, in the mesh
OF the weary flesh,
We who are saved from the doom Of death
By the fckle blood and the feeble breath,
MI we who have only the right to live
In the little world the senses give

THE Uneasy. Chair.
It is rather rare in q novel especially
in one Of g scant 200 small pages, to find
a foreshadowfng Of the plot and a de-
scription Of the characters in the opening
para graph In The Quality Of Youth.
Louis Evan .Shipman apparently leaves
little to the imagination after the flrst
few lines. Nevertheless, altho we are told
,l,,l, srrr,,, ic a. eroJ
liant virginian, that Sir Richard Keightly
is a villain, that Lord Frampton is a
t fool and that Lady Anne Bevis is most
beautiful the charm Of the. story Is not
diminished. This is due to the fact that
we are interested in the cleverness OF the
conversation and the excitement Of the
action, duels and lescues being frequent.
Of course. it. seems impossible that Tar
rant should aspire to the hand OF Lady
+ Anne Bevis, but after we have become
acquainted with his strong sword wrist
and his presence of mind, the climax OF
the last page seems inevitable
A few words from the mouth OF the

/ Cautiously enough, had the same intuition

i And so it is, in every encounter witt

per hand and comes out triumphant.
