supposedly light lunch furnished by

vas a phantom delight

She was a phantom delight
When first she cleaned upon NV sight;
A lovely apparation, sent
To be a moments ornament;
Her eyes as stars of twilight fair;
Like twilight's, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
A dancing shape, an image gay
To haunt, to startle and waylay.
/ saw upon a nearer view,
A spirit, yet woman, too.
Her household motions light and free
And steps of virgins liberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food,
For transient sorrows simple wiles.
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and
smiles.
And now I see with eyes serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A being breathing thoughtful breath.

A traveller between lifepand death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength and

A perfect woman, nobly planned
To warn,to comfort and command;
And yet spirit still. and bright
With something of an angel-light.

AMERICAN WoMEN's HEADS.
Do They Lack Proportion Because
Larger Than Those of the Greek
Statues?

The Greeks believed that the length
of a woman's head should be one
eighth her total height American
women's heads average longer in pro-
portion. Some foolish student of
Greek art announced that this bignesS
was all wrong; and that the American
women were of bad proportions. The
answer is, of course, that the Ameri-
can women have bigger brains than
the Greek women had, and need more
room for them; and anyway, if you
take the American woman for the
standard, the Greek statues will be
found to be all out of proportion. Dis
erection and experience impel us to de-
eide in favor of the American woman.
