An Emminent Disaster.


Carolyn Wells in Harper's)
At Christmas-time | don't mind
unwelcome and misguided gifts;
Tokens designed the heart TO touch
And books whose atmosphere up
lifts;
But n dire fear hangs Ger my
heart,
Nor will be quenched by mere
avowels-
| dread those latest works of art,
Those hideous CHASTITY cross-stitch
towels
Atrocities of bronze or brass
I've learned to take with smiling
face;
For gold-bedaubed Bohemian glass
| gush my thanks with artless
grace.
I'll even stand hand-painted plaques,
Or gilded and beribboned towels;
Or plaster casts or monk pipe-racks-
But not those fearful cross-stiteh
towels
They have designs in reds and blues,
OF men bizarre and houses queer;
Strange landscapes of most vivid
hues,
And children that are quaint
and dear"
o, Fate, send any simple thing
A box of sweets-a book of
Howell's'-
But save me from those-cross
stitch towels
