But full sufficient for the sight
He bent to give the token-so:
She raised on dainty, shppered toe;
Thus does the flower with eagerness
Receive the hawk moths bold caress,
When floats the summer moon above,
And all the garden thrills with love.
I saw him kiss her--face met face,
And shrank she not from his embrace,
While at this conquest of her lips
I tingled to the fnger-tips,
For none better view e'er had
OF willing maid and lucky lad.
Yet why the passage sweet discuss?

Not Too SeUere.

Not every girl can stand the severe y
plain effects that have been in vogue
In other seasons and il is pleasing to
note that gowns for tennis and golf are
more graceful and feminine than they
were of yore. Sports are businessHkc,
and call for simple, easy gowns, but
there IS no reason why the cut and de
sign should be ultra severe. Almost any
of the short lightweight ShirtwaiSt suits
are worn for tennis gowns. Linen is a
capital material. The average good
player diSlikes 10 be bothered with trim
med sleeves or high collars. but these
features do not appear on all linen shirt
waist suits. For golf, the plated skirts
so much worn are hardly suitable.
Neither are they beautiful or the windy
links. Hats must be small and plain.
For tennis nothing could be prettier than
the fetching linen hats.
To wear with white shirtwaists or
shirtwaist suits linen collars and en-
broidered ties are always cool looking
and attractive. especially since the all
white fashion became popular. AT sew
eral of the large shops quantities of
these are offered at bargain prices.

Full skirts and baggy sleeves must

girls. The mother is ill., and a sufferer
from nervous headaches. Each evening
one of the young women plays the

The effect Of a musical box is very
good. Indeed. any sounds that are not

the nerves.
It is claimed by those who are very
enthusiastic that music is good for the
complexion. They argue that certain
musical sounds work upon The nerves
and sOothe thom- and that this Is good
for the digestion. since quiet nerves aid
the digestive organs. The stomach d.
gests its food more perfectly when the
nerves are in good condition. And good
digestion soon shows in an improved
complexion. They actually cite cases to
prove that the complexion Is affected
directly by music. In a large school OF
students. singers. and musicians there
is not one bad complexion.
Money invested for q musical instrU-
ment is. according to this. money very
well spent, and the woman who buys a
