Our Love-Our World.

We Stlll lovers, yOu anu
And one and twenty years gone by.
We care not what the world may say.
One world alone We know today
A world where only love holds sway
Unchanging-a perennial May!
A love, not of the feeting kind.
Born of a moments passion blind,
But anchored deep in heart and mind
Unswayed by stress of storm or wind.
A love unfaltering tried and true,
Like this, is understood by few!
Such love the vast ignoble crew
OF the worlds groundlings never knew.
Such love as this must e'er endure!
For tempered like the diamond pure.
Through wond'rous alchemy obscure,
From out the fire ii doth mature.
This love our world is, | confess,
Which amid worry or distress.
Or varying fortune or success,
Meier from its orbit doth digress.
This world is free from doubts or fears
1t knows not grief nor signs nor tears,
But ever fair this world appears
Our love of one and twenty years.
And this our world full grown today,
Our world where only love holds sway,
May it live ever: this l pray.
This is the burden of my lay!
Throughout their married life
Theodore Suiro. a New York lawyer
has written many poems OF tender
ness to his wife. On the twentieth an
niversary his wife surprised him with
an elegantly bound volume, of these
poems. That it touched the heart of
the husband is shown by the follow
ing communication which Mrs Sutro
received from him on the first of the
present month:
My Sweet Little Wife--The splendid
volume which you compiled on our
marriage anniversary last year, in cell
ebration of our enduring love has sug-
gested thc inclosed thought Let ii be
our twenty-first "Milestone!"
We may laugh at the great outside
world: we have our own little world
our love!
And this is the twenty-first sunny
1st of October, for the mists of the
morning have again melted away. And
so may all ailments disappear and may
you during the coming year again en-
joy that great bOon-perfect health!
And receive, for the twentyfist time.
my loving and sincere greetings and
warm congratulations (and these last
/ extend even more so to myself) that
this happy anniversary again occurs!
Your fond and affectionate.
THEODORE.
