THE FACE IN THE FIRELEGHT.

There's something snugly and coZi!y
heart warming about that picture OF
TX MarveI's in "Thc RcycreS of
Bachelor" AS night approaches he
has a huge pile of oak and hickory
beside the hearth. SmuffS out the tau
low candle, draws up his chair. sets
one foot on each side the iron fire
dogs, lights his cigar and watches the
faces in the freight. He sees
sweet faced girl. bit of lace running
around a we'll chisclcd neck, the hair
parted to a charm over Il forehead
fair as any dream He reaches over
and clasps a hand of tapering white
fingers lying tcmptingly within reach
and talks soft and low in the presence
of the blaze while the winter wind
whistles outside and the hours slip hy.
Here, too. in this text sits David, with
his hand resting against his forehead'
his door shut against the world, lost
in remembrance Of pleasant days, Not
many men and womcq but would be
richer to stop now and then and live
over old times, with just enough
clouds in the sky perhaps to make
hooutifuI sunset memories
