It's Apotheosis from Early Materials,
the Handicork of W0men.

There is always something piquant. especially to
women. IN hearing man talk about distinctly
feminine crafts or accomplishments, like crochet
ting embroidering kindergartening. 1t is almost
as funny as for an audience of men to find them
selves addressed by woman some such topic

the essentials Of a first class military camp.
So it was that a: Blackborn's lecture on lac"s at
the American Art Galleries yesterday afternoon
took on a double interest. There were the charm
and fascination which every normal woman finds in
lace. and there was the oddly Of having q man

TIE LEE DIVINE.

When mid thy common days God sends thee one,
A day whose radiance Of earth and sun
Is mated 10 thy souls responsive mood.
And thou with open eye seest all things good;
When the Lord speaks to thee in flower and oird'
And opens up to thee His hidden word,
And grants the long held answer to thy prayer
a day when suddenly thou art aware
OF truths own message to thy heart revealed
And Ieaping to thy lips by love unsealed;
Oh, then give thanks and praise. for, come what
may,
The Holy Ghost hath shared thy life one day
But If the morrow briugeth thee again
Into the world OF sinful, needy men.
Eager to tell thy message and to give
A gospel whereby dying souls may live:
And lo the carping world will not believe
The heavenly sign. nor yet thy words receive:
When thy speech thy brother doth offend
And thou art but dreamer to thy friend
Then. as thou seekest comfort from thine own
And hndest thou art left with God alone.
Rejoice with joy that none shall take away,
For thou hast shared the life of Christ one day.
