The Discreet Lover.
His breast was all afiame with love
And when they had to part
He slyly took her dainty glove
And wore II near his heart
OF all the fair she was the fairest
Or 90 she seemed to be:
Her beauty was the richest. rarest;
Her gladness gave him glee.
He took her dainty little glove
And pressed II to his lips
With tenderest and deepest love
He kissed the finger tips
With passion such as knights OF yorO
Were nobly agitated
he kissed her glove-but not before
He had It fumigated

The Blanket Tree.

Blankets grow on trees in Ecuador.
and. while the idea Of an all wood
fresh from the. forest bed covering
might give insomnia and backache to
the child of civilization who likes to
snuggle comfortably under several lay
ers of down and wool. the natives find
it all right. as in fact it is.
When an Ecuador Indian wants a
blanket he hunts up demajagua tree
and cuts from it a FIVE or six foot sec
tion of the peculiarly soft. thick bark
This is dampened and beaten until the
fiexibility of the sheet is much increas-
ed. The rough gray exterior is next
peeled off. and the sheet dried in the
sun, The result is blanket. soft,
light and fairly warm. of an attractive
cream color. 1t may be rolled into a
compact bundle without hurt and with
ordinary usage will last for several
