RHYME OF A DREAM MAKER.
Down near the end Of a wandering
lane,
That runs round the cares of the day
Where Conscience and Memory meet
and explain
Their quaint little quarrels away,
A misty air castle sticks back in the
dusk
Where brownies and hobgoblins
dwell,
And this is the home
OF busy old gnome
Who is making up dream things to
sell,
My dear,
The daintiest dream things to sell.
He makes golden dreams out Of wick
ed mans signs
He weaves on the thread OF a hope
The airiest fancies Of I.elty brown
eyes.
And patterns his work with a trope
The breath of a rose and the blush
Of a wish
Boiled down to the ghost # a bliss,
He wraps in a smile
Every once in while
And calls it the dream Of kiss,
Dear heart,
The dream of an unborn kiss,
Last night when I walked through
the portals of sleep,
And came to the weird little den,
I looked in the Place where the eff
man should keep
A dream that buy now and then.
IT'S only the sweet, happy dream of
day
Yet one that | wish may come true;
But | learned from the elf
That you'd been there yourself,
And he'd given my dream to you,
Sweetheart,
He'd given our dream to you.
William Allen White.

@ ORIS MITCHELL has made the
most Of her difficulties. She
thinks she has had, during her
L. brief career upon the stage
more failures handed out TO
her to make good in than any other
living actress. One after another
they came, these plays that lasted
quick; one after the other the pub
lies neglect finished them, and the
storehouse Of the great forgotten
gaped open and swallowed them up.
They started out on their brief life as
plays, she says, fun of optimistic
youth, brave hope and indefatigable
leading lady and the leading man were
forced to swallow as crumbs of COM
q pensation the notices which read
something like this:
.- The attempt of Miss Mitchell and
Mr.. Blank TO rescue the plot from
oblivion was well directed and worthy
a better play; or this: Though the
play was a rank disaster the wreck
was not complete. 1t was well acted" ;"
i need not tell you the names of
the recently inferred plays with which
have been associated, and which
New York managers cursed and
buried. Let the dead rest; but it
seems 10 me that have had more
than my share of participation in
promising but unfulhlling plays. The
charm was broken in Classmates ;"
she said.
