Mobile Society News.

Saturday is always a dull day in social life The duliness today was intensified by the heavy rain which threatened to destroy the happiness of numbers of chill dren who had looked forward to todays picnic with joy untold. It takes a good deal more than raindrops to break up a picnic when once fully planned, however, and So the children of the Church Home. through the kindness and generosity of members of the Guild and other friends. had one of the happiest days of their lives at Monroe Park. An outing today was likewise enjoyed by the boys of Wright's Military Academy.
 The children were not the only ones whose hearts sank this morning at hear ing the pitpat of the rain. For days past, a certain crowd of children of a larger growth have talked of little else than the coming contest for the Luce cup, and it would have been a sad day for twenty ladies had the game been called off on account of rain. It is too soon to pick the winner of the cup as yet. for four games have to be played, the lowest average score to win. The con testants are Mrs. H. P. Vass, Mrs. Henry Hall, Jr., Mrs. Matthew Brewster, Mrs. P. J. Acker, Mrs. George Lyon, Mrs. M. F. Kirkbride Mrs. George Fearn. Jr., Mrs. Shelton Sims, Mrs. Joseph Tucker. Miss Mollie Irwin, Misses Julia and Margaret Lake. Miss Hodg- son, Miss Rosa Coates. Miss Kate Middle ton, Miss Marcia Burgess. Miss Louise Vass. Miss Virginia Sims.

Fireside Journeys.

Mine Is an humble. tolsome lot,
My home n lowly little cot
And pleasant trips DER land and sea
Nor wheel nor sail e'er proffers me.
Day holds me carebound. but the night.
CHEEKY with hearthfire's glowing light,
Vouchsafcs rare journeys with the elves
THAI hide In covers on my shelves.
From open page these curious friends.
Come out at call. with power that sends
Nc In their wake. at lightning pace,
Through stored realms of time and
space.
From frozen fields of Arctic snow
To wales where tropic splendors glow. q.
Past craggy heights, Ger waters wide.
Fearless We soar we glance. we glide.
, Famed kings and lovely queens we greet
Knights-errant In their Journeys meet:
With founders and explorers stray,
Or talk with scholars by the way
Sages look on with solemn eyes,
Dropping their queries and replies.
While mystics breathe bewilderng
dreams.
TIL all the air with wonder teens.
The sweet hours come. the sweet hours
go.
Upon the hearth the fire burns low;
Then dainty singers, dreamy-eyed.
From rhythmic covers softly glide.
Grooming their low delicious runes,
And. luled by cadence OF the tunes.
I fall asleep amid the elves
