The brain that dreamed the magic straiust
Is dust these many many years.
Yet still the music swells and wanea
And works its spell on him who hearsE
The melody is clear and sweet
With dulcet gladness I'm each tone;
OF haunting swing and rhythmic beat
Are murmured chords that sing afona
The hand that wrote the olden rhyrsaS
These many, many years is dust.
The sword 1t held In olden times
A century ago was rust
But here today fair as then
We have the song that holds the heart
which throbs again, and yet again.
Because OF this undying art
ANA they who wrote this song they EavSr
The world no conquest Of their hands
They caused no battle flags to wave.
They trampled through no alien iarrdS.
Their fame came not through women ~
tears
Nor through the heaping OF their eold--s
And yet through all the bygone years
The simple song their fame has told.
So sing II softly, when the night
Filings shadows from the drowsy wcst.
For all its measures, shadow-llght.
with comfort and heartsease are blssee
And II may be to some fair star
With afoat an echo of some strain
To tell the two who bide afar
They did not write their song in vain

A Wandering Destiny
By MABEL CHASE ENGLAND


The country road, unshaded by tree
mr. sbrub, stretched straight and dusty
under the burning August sun. A girl
IN cool white came slowly out OF
xateway, clicked the latch behind her
and stood gazing obviously at the
book and a box of chocolates; with
the other she raised her ruffled skirts.
A mile to the woods. a short walk
along a shady path to the bank of the
river, then-her canoe-the book
the chocolates, and
with sudden decision she stepped
into the road and began picking her
way gingerly along the edge When
she reached the opening in the woods
where the path began she heaved an
immense sigh Of relief, but without
pauslng kept steadily on till she
reached the bank of the river. There
she sank down on the log to which
her small canoe was moored, threw

"Phew!" she said. Il don't believe
I'd do that again"
She sat few moments, her chin on
her hands, gazing out over the shad-
ed river, then. stepping into her canoe
she arranged herself comfortable on

and the chocolates conveniently be-
side her and pushed off.
The air was brooding and somno-
lent; the silence deep. She drifted
lazily-just touch here and there

wind blew from the south and gently
lifted the soft hair from her brow.
The moments passed. Slowly, al

She rounded the bend cautiously.
Her heart gave an excited little

bon as there are girls. When all arrive
the men are given spools of thread
and told to find the girl who has an
apron to match II. In this way part
ners are chosen and the girls put on
the aprons after the men have sewed
the hens and sewed on the strings.
Allow half or three-quarters of an
hour for this Next the girls are CIV
en- the necktie pieces and they are
gathered together and put through
door, each girl having hold of an end.
the door Is closed and the men are
to come in and take hold of an end.
When each man has an end, the door
Is opened and the girl who has hold
OF the other end must fashion neck
tie for her swain The latter puts 1t
on and the girl puts on her apron, and
thus partners are selected for supper
or refreshments. This is a very jolly
party, adapted to private parties or
for church social.
