THE OLD CANOE.

Published at the request Of Mis- Iaylos.l
Where the rocks are gray and the shore
is steep,
Where the waters below look dark and
deep;
Where the rugged pine in its lonely pride
Where the reeds and rushes are lons
and lank,
And the weeds grow thick on the wind.
ing bank:
Where the shadow is heavy the whole
day through,
There lies at its mooring the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped
Like a sea birds wings that the storm
has Topped;
And crossed on the railing one Ger one,
Like the folded hands when the work is
done,
While busily back and forth between
The spider stretches his silvery screen,
And the solemn owl with the dull too
whoo,''
Settles down on the side of the old
canoe.
The stern half sunk in the Shiny wave,
Rots slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss creeps DER its duh
decay,
Hiding its molderinE dust away.
Like the hand that plants DER the tomb
II uONeEV
Or the ivy that mantles the falling
tower;
While many a blossom of IovIiest hue
Springs up oer the stern Of the old
canoe.
The currentless waters are dead and
STILL
But the twilight wind plays with the boat
at will,
And IaziIy in and out again
II floats the length of ifs rusty chain,
Like the weary march OF the hands Of
time,
That meet and part at fhe mOOntids
chime,
And the shore is killed at each turning
anew,
BY the dipping bow of the old canoe.
oh, many a time with careless hand,
have pushed it away from the pebbly
strand,
And padded it down where the stream
runs quick,
Where the whirls are wild and the ed
dies are thick,
And laughed as I leaned DER its rocking
side,
And looked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and boats were two
That were mirrored back from the old
canoe.
But now, as I lean o'er the crumbSng
side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that / see is graver grown,
And the laugh that hear is a sober
tone,
And the hand that lent to the light skiff
wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things;
But 1 love TO think Of the hours that
sped
AS 1 rocked where the whirls their white
spray shed
Ere the blossoms waved or the green
grass grew
Ger the moldering stern Of the old canoe.

JAB0T HAS BECOME
INDISPENSABLE ADJUNCT

The one accessory of the costume of
the maid and matrol that no chang
ing fashions of the seasons seems to
eliminate is the jabot.
With the tailored suits and satin after
noon gowns it is alike ubiquitous and is
seen in such a variety of shapes and
styles that one can pick out an individual
frill for almost every occasion.
II has, in fact, made itself quite in
dispensable to our toilette, and that It
adds dainty touch to a plain tailor
made costume is undoubted.
The side frill gained an enormous popu-
larity, but this fact in itself was sufficient
to kill 1t in the eyes of the smart wom-
an, who has discarded it IN favor Of the
plain, straight jabot. This Is seen in
lace, embroidery or tulle.
A pretty example OF the latter was
made in two pieces of finely pleated tulle,
one side in white and the other in black.
These may be obtained attached to a
collar or not as fancy dictates, for this
is again decided by the blouse or frock
with which we wear it.
With the tailor suit in serge or rough
cloth an embroidery or plain hernstitched
Jabot looks best, while the tuIle or flmy
lace one should be kept for more dressy
occasion.
1t is also q far greater economy when
investing in this class Of article to get
something which will wear and wash
well

THE GRACEFUL ART
OF MAKING TEA

The art OF making and pouring tea
gracefully Is one that any girl may
acquire with a little practice. The
English custom Of dropping into a
friends house informally for afternoon
tea is growing. and II Is worth while
learning how to serve IL easily and with
out embarrassing bitches. The girl who
wishes to acqust herself as a finished
hostess would do well to remember few
points.
Afternoon tea is much more coy

than if brought already made from the
kitchen

Care should be taken that the spirit
lamp is always we'll filed, otherwise 1t

the kettle It will only take few min

Lemon slices should be separated

Seeds should be removed from the
slices.
The small lemon fork should not be
mislaid, but be in place on the tray
when wanted.
II tea ball is used it should be filed
before.
A silver or china waste bowl Is an
absolute necessity for the tea table.
Tea is served with lemon, cream or
rum after the Russian fashion.

painted dull black; the noor warm gray,

fun the hostess puts into the hand Of
some guest a slip Of paper on which is
written the title OF some love story.

Has Permanent Safety Exhibit.


In view of the fact that Wisconsin
has, during the past year, made such
a splendid beginning in providing fac
tory sanitation and safety regulation,
it may be of some interest to learn
what some of the older countries are
doing in this direction
The exhibit prepared by the Wis
consin industrial commission and now
displayed at the rooms of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers associa-
ton, Milwaukee, consists, in the main.
of a series of photographs of ma
chinery IN which the safety devices
are shown IN red colors. They are
practically selfexplanatory but Mr..
Price and his assistants are there to
go into detail as to their construction,
application and use.
At Munich a permanent exhibit on
sanitation and safety has been estab-
lished, which presents actual models
and working machinery. The govern
ment has provided a special building
for that purpose, which is open to the
public certain hours of She day Com
petent mechanics are in charge of the
exhibit, and will, upon request, op-
crate certain machinery and demon
strate the utility of the various safety
appliances.
The exhibit is practically divided
into outdoor and indoor, overground
and underground occupations. The
building trades come in for consider
able attention. Various methods for
scaffolding construction are shown in
miniature size. Here it should be re-
membered that practically throughout
Germany the construction of scaffold.
ing for new buildings or the remodel
ing of old 3nes is a special business
and trade. The forms of construction
vary somewhat, but all claim utility
and safety. The exhibits also include
a number of methods for bracing sew
er trenches and gravel pits and tunnel
and quarry openings.
