Roses rcd I sent to Dolly 81
Begging her that night to wear,
II she would DO mine forever
One red rose within her hair,
Fast my heart beat when at even
Dolly at the dance spied.
4 Rose Of crirnson softly paling
Dolly's burning blush beside.
TO one shell.iike ear whispered,
YOU have made me happy quite,
For my heart has found Its answer
In the rose you wear tonight" =
Answered Dolly then: "1'm sorry;

The nidw1nter month OF 1904 has been
ushercd In under gay auspices. and the
Leap Year season may now be consid-
cred as in Full swing.
Twelfth Night. January 9Th, will fall
on Wedne sday next. Twelfth-n night par
ties reflect twentieth century tastes and
seem specially appropriate to the sea-
son and the Leap Year maid. a great
& cake wreathed in holly and nisuetoe Is
a feature Of Twefth.nlght celebrations.
Within the cake, on opposite Sides Is
placed the parts OF a silver piece which
has been cut into halves. Tho future
destinies OF two Of the Twelfth night
company must be decided by the finding
end matching together OF these pieces,
To insure the halves falling into tho
hands of lad and lassie the cake Is
evenly divided Maids have slices from
4 one side and bachelors from the. other.
When the whole cake has been cut, the
silver pieces will be forthcoming.
1t Is the fashion for the lucky flinders

amulet whenever .-.e course Of true love
shows an inclination to depart from Its
appointed smooth running channel.
