A GirPs Essay On Boys.
Boys are men that have not cot
as big as their papas, and girls are
women that will be ladies by and by.
Man was made before woman. When
God looked at Adam he said to him
self: well, think I can do better,
if try again And ne made Eve
SO much better than Adam that there
have been more women than men.
Boys are "a trouble They wear
everything out but soap. IL I had
my way half the world would be girls
and the rest dolls. My papa ig go
nice that I think he must have been
a little girl when he was a little boy.
Man was made, and the seventh
day he rested. Woman was made,
and she has never rested since

An Evening With LonefeIIow.

Hero worship is not dead, we all
Teel the gain to ourselves when we
study the lives of great men. They
become to us fountain OF light. The
ladies of the Lend-a-Hand Book Club
Of Mechanicsville had Mrs. George
Knox tell them all she could OF the
life and work of one Of our dearest
countrymen, Henry Wadsworth Long
fellow. Mrs. Knox's paper was a
worthy tribute to the gifted poet,
whose simplicity Of language has an
indescribable charm. His poems are
familiar with almost every household.
At the conclusion Of her paper Mrs.
Knox read "The Old Clock Oh the
Stairs" Mrs. Palmer showed pictures
Of Longfellow and his old home in
Cambridge, also reading The Chill
dren's Hour"
The meeting was held January 20,
at the home or Mrs. n. r. Wells, Ne
chanicsville. The Doctor was home.
He is warm champion of the book
club. How much nicer ii Id to call at
a physicians house, than have him
call at yoursi A delightful social
half-hour was spent after the Dusi-
ness meeting. Two new members
were gladly welcomed, Mrs. A. N.
Zentz and daughter, Eurith.
Earle, the son OF DR.. and Mrs. Wells,
rendered two instrumental numbers
on the piano. Evening Bells" carried
us away in revery. Mrs. ]. c. Wales
gave the toast:
When gathered around the dining
room table
Mrs. Wells our hostess, friends
come pledge her
Be the wine of life sweet to her lips
May her star Of good luck be as
cendant-
All misfortune for ages eclipse
Each member responded with quo
tation from Longfellow- The table
was SO inviting, refreshments SO
unique, and Mrs Wells has such a fine
art of real home taste. The theory
OF high thinking and plain living was
put to a test, all bowed low to Mrs.
Wells, succumbing to her dainty
creams, her steaming beverage. In
fact there was not one present who
would not have let poet and poems
fly to the winds while she rummaged
for her receipts in kitchen dresser.
I'VE may live without poetry, music
and art.
We may live without consciences,
and live without heart
We may live without friends; we
may live without books.
But the civilized man cannot live
without cooks"
