We cannot make them happy all

we can do.
The Doll and Toy fund is a free

As / DRANK TEA TODAY.


As I drank tea today
With dozen women, chaterfng, gay,
In delicate dropping gowns, in Jewels
like dew,
Laughing, light voiced-I thought of
certain hunger I knew.
Hid in the heart of one, the merriest
laughter there,
I saw three little dull threads in the
coil Of her hair:
Three little keen wrinkles about her
beautiful shining eyes.
And wished 1 were not SO wise.
I wished that I did not know
Those symbols of pain-that low
Under her pride and sweet warm
worded address
She was shaken with loneliness:
That the one great dream she had
dared to dream was a lie,
And half her life went wearying, Let
me die
I wish that I could not hear
That nurmur of mortal fear
Through the clink of silver and subtle
whisper of lace,
I dared not look in her face.
Then I thought (while laughed aloud
With my cup at poise), "Ah, the proud
Mosques that We wear! We, too,
All of us, dancing through
Some queer little pantomime each
day
Jeweled and gloved; deft-spoken and
gay
All, but God only hears
All Of the follies and fears,
Meanness and courage, breathed out
and in
Over these teacups' delicate din"
Then 7 looked in that woman's face
over its pearls and roses and lace.
And I knew that need not fear to see
Those little dull threads, those wrink-
les three,
Or hear the cry of her life. I knew
We were all of us crying, too;
Crying with wonder or WEAKNESS,
Too much love, or too little. Yes,
It was Life, just Life, that we hid
away
Under our gossip and glad array.
And that woman's laughter and pride
Shielding her heart, half -crucified,
Seemed brave1y done-although
1 thought, Must Life hurt so, hurt
SOP,
Till. as l took her hand,
Saying goodbye, the smooth words
planned,
Clicked in my throat. She stood there
dumb,
Folded my fingers and pressed chem
numb,
Knowing I knew.
All, yes! I knew,
All of us seeking. hungering, hiding
too,
In delicate dropping gowns, and jewels
like stars and dew!
So we all went away:
dozen women -rhattering CAV

STOCKS HIT BOTTOM.
Minimum Prices Fixed by Governors

New York, Dec. ga further de-
cline in the common shares of the
U. S. steel corporation to 48, the min
imum price established by the ex-
change authorities. was the feature of
today's stock market. The entire act
i've list fell back to the lowest level
recorded since open dealings in all
stocks were resumed on Tuesday of
last week.
Taking today's low range as a basis,
prominent stocks are down to 4 to :

AS steel cannot be sold under 48, ac-
cording to the present rules of the
exchange, it is believed the minimum
in this and other stocks will have to
be revised downward.

tiOnary force estimated at upward Of
1000 men to West Africa. The first Of
these troops was sent during Septem-
Der and more followed during October.
