The edge of the Big Rock was twice as

Frog in great surprise.

be confined to such. for plain material
can be trimmed. IIyelet embroidered
wolfe makes this skirt but the model
is just as we'll adapted to the summer
silks as it is to cotton material. Foul
ard and crepe de chine are especially
attractive made in this way or. if lik-
ed, the drapery could be of one color
or material and the skirt of another.

The Sweetest Time o. Year.
It's getting time o year just now
when May swings into bloom,
And all the peach. and apple trees arc
reeking with perfume.
A panoramic glory gilds the morning
in the east,
With an irridescent glamor Of a Nigh
ty sumptuous feast.
The blackbird in the hollow and the
robin in the tree,
Are shouting hallelujahS up 10 heaven
ant to me;
The forest trees are budding with a
freshness rich and rare,
And pronounce Il benediction through
the blUSO.n-Scented air.
The south wind in his rambles search
es every shady nook,
And gathers sweetest perfume from
the blossoms by the brook.
The sun in gorgeous splendor smiles
upon the %sprouting grain;
The h.werS noddinp to and fro arc
welcoming the rain.

husky humble bee,

in a muffled ccstacy.

When Maytilne brings the blossoms
and aunts her banners gay,
All the glories of the seasons I'M +,

Fol the poisoning of nature is the
sweetest time of year.
It's a part of my religion / would

That a loving smiles an antidote for
