THE BATHER.

Still is the lake; in lucent air
Serene Ger its own shadow bowed,
The wet bill hangs, as family fair
Ana unsuostantial as a cloud.
Still Is the lake; clear skies today
Succeed the rains Of yester-night;
The dark 1ood-waterS idly play
With Swallowed hill, with misty light.
Ne single sound breaks in; / hear
The breath, it seems, of living earth;
Near things seem far, and far things near
Like visions Of celestial birth.
Secure in such still solitude
The wild fowl dot the distant bay,
And seagulls, that Of late pursued
Through restless seas their hard-won prey
In this deep inland calm take tithe
OF easy spoil.
Here as / pass
4 mower cuts with old-world scythe
STORYTELLING swath of sedgy grass,
Whose following fringe winds close about
The wrinkled bank, where level lake
And meadow fiat wind in and out
And mimic bays ana headlands make
Sole figure in this lonely space,
He swings and pauses, turns and swings,
Nor heeds the glory of the place,
Nor of these far, uplifting things,
Mans heritage, claims any share.
one long field, by sweet rCunels fed
That in the south mere bitches were;
But here spired plantnin reurS It's head,
And gray-eyed yarrOw's sllvery lip
Smiles norland wecOmc-Last a row
OF screening alders; there | strip
And barefoO through soft grasses so
Where Derwent, curving to the mere,
Swift in his seeming stiffness slides,
A moving mirror, darkly clear,
Dcep-pooled beneath his hanging sides.
Poised for the plunge, erect | take
The benson of the sun: ! see
The toil-bound mower by the lake
Still swing his scythe, but am free.
| poise, ! plunge-the mrrOred hills
Rise Up To meet me as | leap.
How the cool stream my body thrills,
Silken and soft and fresh as sleep

A CITY MOOD.

If once more might only wander free
From all this Gifted laughter touched with
pain,
And learn with quiet hill and patient tree
TO watch the wheeling seasons and the
rain,
And with the lyric grass, the widening sea,
Retaste the wine of Earth's Anliiau
strain
And her cool wisdom earn, ana at the knee
OF brooding calm some wider knowledge
drain
Then | that deeper Self entombed in me
rms many Spring might hear no more
complain
Then that better life that used to be
Nhen nope and dreams were Young, might
know again! Smart Set.

Aztec Women.

The feminine direct descendants of the
famous -Aztecs are tiny creatures eX-
quiSitely formed and refined in feature
They carry the head with the upbearing
grace of the full-blooded Indian; their
skins are not red, but clear. smooth
copper color that shines like gold in this
sun; their hair is coarse and black as
ebony. and they are decorated with
bright feathers and gay ornaments
These women make the most wonderful
pottery that comes to us from Mexico.
for they have kept the old Aztec forms
and decorations in their art and they
also weave wonderful baskets and do
exquisite embroidery. Scott Valley

He crossed the room and went through
the ordinary process of ringing someone
up on the telephone.
He turned to Youth
81 am awfully sorry to have to tell
you, Miss Barrow, that we are prisoners
here until tomorrow. They say it is inn
possible to send a carriage because of
the snowdrifts, and it is equally impos-
sible for us to walk. The only thing
remaining is for us to stay where we
are; at all events. we have roof over
our heads, and my room is quite at your
disposal.

reading before the fire with her dainty
feet in a pair of redheeled shoes that it
was said Marie Antoinette once wore.

She thought her watch was wrong, be-
cause the room was quite dark, but on

bedroom window sine saw the reason of
tie darkness. The snow had drifted
right up to the top of the window and
had cut off the light of day.
There was a knock at her door.
