light fails across 1t With good effect,
look. up into the sky and observe:
TT 10 very, lovely!" have often
studied this with the spot light" on
The stage. and know that 1t causes the
eyes to come out we'll.
In almost . whisper she is bound to
reply. Beautiful" for she cannot help
noticing your hne profile blanched
into delicate marble. and your large
eyes looking almost ike twin Mars.
Then sigh ~ you remark: This
time tomorrow shall see the moon
shining on the Hudson from my lone
~ abode in town. Look for q shade Of
disappointment on her beautiful face;
however. continue without the shad-
0w: Eyes, must go back to the Office,
the daily. grind; 1t would not do for
= ppor devil like myself to have too
long spell Of happiness; 1t units one
for the work-aday world again"

rod. which We think Of at times as
forming GASES in our LIES desert. My
week end At this house has been one
to me. There are hours, too, hours
when tears rise in the heart and gather
70 the eyes almost Involuntary and
feeling IL stronger than speech-its
very intensity depriving us of giving
expression to what-to what the heart
would fain utter. Have-have your
permission to call this hour mine?
Nay think of 1t, in after days, as I
shall think Of 1t. oh. how often-may
I then think of 1t a. mine?"
Keep your ears open for q tremu-
Iosas whisper to the effect; that You

or God bless you!" and 1t 10 natural
that you should take her hand in
yours to give due force to your words;
natural enough. too. thai you should
hold It there beyond the. time neces-
sary to give It = gentle squeeze.
Lot the moon play an important part
In the impressive silence that will
