HALLOWEEN BABY.


o how shall / describe her best
This modern girl so white?
Be-capped and bottled-baby- -dress'd
So winsome was the sight
yearned to kiss the wnsome mouth
So red by contrast with her face.
1t seemed eternally to pout
And dimpled with such tender grace.
How best depict this girl-child fair.
The silken cloud of mixed gold hair.
The satin skin of neck and arm
And all her other wondrous charm2
My arms Just yearned to hold her near
The lovely, dainty little dear
Her presence lent the sportive place.
As tailor-fashion we did sit,
With neer lamp nor candle lit.
And listened to the bird-lke voice
That helped us thro each carol'd choice
Or iute-like altoed each refrain
That brought the old days back again.
Be-capped and bottled-baby-dr
She seemed the cnlld all Ger again.
Save that the years had but imnrest
The woman lines and gentler mien
And meath the garb of white and blue
Suggested woman-curves so true
1t thrilled the very heart TO see
Chld-woman blend so exquisitely
o. stay as you are, you fragrant young witcl
For in all woman graees, dear heart yoi
rich.
For thy virginia. beauty Of figure and face
Shall always, in heart Of man, win thee
Een tho the years touch thy rich hair wit
snow,
and temper thv spirit more sedate and slow
know that your charms shall not alter
mite
From the girl-child l knew on last Hallow

 Unlike the Chinese. the Japanese are more aggressive and meddlesome They wish to learn and adopt our ways to a certain measure, investi gate things in general and make use of such as may tend to their material benefit. They are irreconcilable and may, some day, prove to contain eX- ploSiVe elements.
