toned affair with silk top, This Is
always good. but lacks novelty. So
does the oblong bag. with a draw
string at the top. and the knitting bag
Of silk or organdie gathered to big
oval hoops.
Where such types are preferred
make the bottom OF bronzed leather,
bound with brown silk braid. and use
for the top an ecru canvas OF fancy
weave. Work around the center with a
cross stitch n two inch band with
shades OF brown frightened with II

messaline or other hin silk and use
brown satin ribbon for the draw
strings. This development is less com
monplace than the usual silk top.

The doubtful dawn came dim and wan,
And DINNER grew the day;

The blue crane changed in the river reeds,
And a mist fell wild and gray.
At dawn she stood. her heavy hood
Flung back, In the ferryboat
To watch the rebel raiders ride,
Her rebel love with his men beside,
His kiss on her mouth and throat.
Like some wild spell the tempest fell,
Like some dark curse night came
For hours she heard the warning dead,
Whose batteries opened overhead
With thunder and with flame.
And now again, in the wind and rain,
She toied at the creaking oar.
Oh, what had she heard in the night ana

Whose voice was that. and whose the
form
That galloped to the shore?
