crow to beat the band. They do

But there is one drawback to
Riley's growing for T. R., and
that is this: Unless there's a chair

The Old Story Told Again

My lover came down TO the garden
gate, and he whispered so soft to me
% we'll I remember the hour was
late, and we stood by the chestnut
tree: and he gathered nj up in his
arms so strong, and his eyes were
alight with love; and little We cared
for the nightingale's song in the limbs
of the tree above. His voice was soft
as a golden Tyre, as he whispered his
thoughts to me, and his eyes we're filed
with heroic fire, that was grand for a
maid to see. And what YER the
words that my lover said, as we stood
by the gate alone? o, how gently he
lifted my dropping head, as he said in
his manly tone-O, l eem to stand
by the gate again, as [ stood on that
night in June, while the nightingale
murmured its joyous strain in the
light of a happy moon! And the glad,
glad thoughts that came to my breast
as he whispered those words to me
The sun was hid in the golden west,
sunk low in the flowing sea. And my
lover sighed lest his words should
meet a short and cruel rebuff as he
cried in a voice that was strangely
sweet, "Well say, is this hot enough?'

Uses Of Linen.

While cotton has apparently sup
planted linen, still it can never wholly
replace it. Table wear will probably
always he real linen rs it is much
easier to renove stains from linen
than cotton, then too being a smooth
fiber dirt does not lodge on it readily.
For summer bedding sheets of linen
are cool and clean, but for winter use
are very undesirable. On the whole
the wrinkling of linen makes it rather
undesirable for bedding either winter
or summer. Linen toweling is always
desirable because it absorbs moisture
readily. For summer clothing linen
is ideal because of it's absorbent prop
critics and also because it dries quick
~. This latter property makes the
carer feel cool because of rapid evap-
Grafton. Linen is useful for hospital
purposes because dirt and bacteria do
not cling to it readily. The lint from
linen was very commonly nsed for
wounds before absorbent cotton came
into use. The so-called "union'' is
composed of a cotton warp and a
linen welt.
