AN OLD-TIME VALENTINE

found ii in a drawer today
With half forgotten, old time things.
Holding within a ring of gold
Cupid with close folded wings
And greeting traced in faded ink.
Signed with name that once could stir
Each languid pulse to swiftest beat
All, me, how sweet those old days We're,
We little dreamed the time would come
When seas and continents wouId he
The least of all the mighty bars
Between the path you tread and me
What cruel wind of circumstance
Was II that blew across our way.
Till all Hopes cloud capped palaces
II shattered ruins, round us Law?
What matter-since a memory
Alone unites our lives TODAY:
Since l am sitting here alone.
And you are wandering far away?
/ would not turn Times chariot back
Fen If the power was given to me:
l know the dream was sweet-who knows
If the ful6llment sweet would be?
If l could know that you today
Remembered once this faded scroll
And wondered if, in time to come.
When soul goes seeking kindred soul,
Our souls might meet across the space
With understanding. death bestowe ed
The tagging years would seem to me
But milestones on a pleasant road

WHEN FATHER HAS THE GRIP

Poor mother wears a worried look.

Upon a hurried trip,
To get some other Kind of done
For father has the grip

And then he thought his back would break !:
In just Il little bit
lie told us that his legs were sore,
And soon 1t was his hip;
1t seems that everything is sick
When father has the grip
The doctor came today ana left
Some capsules, and he said.
To take one each three hours until
The pain has really fed.

III bet he'd find faster dope
If he had got the grip"
And then he told ma that he thought
That he was going to die;
An ma says no. that isn't so,
An gave the reason why.
Then pa got mad and told her that
lie didn't want her lip;
on! there's no comfort In our fiat
When father has the grip.

All. that's different. You have had
complete control over Frank from the
first; but / have none over Silas and
never have had"
Entirely your own fault, Aluriel You
shouldn't have begun by letting him
have his head. If you'd ridden him on
the curb from the outset, he would now
be as amenable to your control as Frank
is to mine"
But you see. | knew how devoted
Silas was to me in those early days, and
believed that his love was the surest
guarantee of his constancy."
Goodness me- Muriel! What sim
pleton you must have been! Now, did
you really believe that?'
Il did And so would you have done

force of habit. -
You mean to say that Frank is a de-
voted husband, not because he loves YOU
but simply because devotion has become
a habit with him?"
