Daysey Mayme
andHer Folks
BY FRANCES L. GARs1DE.

TIME man who said, Poets are
born, not made" was ignorant
of the possibilities of Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary. Anyone with
a little ink and collection Of such
words as heart, dart, part; love, dove;
bliss, kiss; sad, lad; burst, cursed.
etc. has only to use his brain and he
may produce poems that will mako
the rhymes of Tennyson, Longfellow,
Keats and the Sweet Singer of Micht-
gan seem as full af life as a smoked
herring in comparison.
With a collection of such wordA
Daysey Mayme Appleton felt that she
had the ingredients that would put =
laurel leaf on her brow, and bring a
certain laggard in love on his Rneas
to her feet. She would write him o
valentine poem She would begin m
heroic measure with his arrival at the
cityS gates.
A search through the dictionary and
much sweating Of her brow resulted
in the following
When my lover. with eyes 50 dark
and brown,
Comes gayIy dancing into town.
She read it over and over again and
decided it was good. (All poets are
addicted to this habit.)
| Fifteen minutes later, while DELHI
| Grating between putting him on
| prancing steed, which rhymes so me
| lodiously with speed and heed and
plead, or giving him the front seat
| in an automobile, a word that has
driven countless poets Off the hoAd.
! she remembered in panic that her
| lovers eyes were not brown, but bf19l
She began again:

She wasn't quite sure If hmpid was
| the word she wanted; 1t sounded 50
much like limpet it might make trou-
| BILE She would leave out his eyes;
after all, all men had them and she
never saw a pair like those in the
books, anyway. She would begin with
| his lips:
In all poems the honey bee sips the
| lips, but somehow, applied to q man,
it seemed a little effeminate; no man
would like the suggestion that he
went around with a swarm of bees
| at his mouth 1t wasn't sanitary and
denoted shiftlesSness. Her favortte
hero in the books had a mouth that
was mobile, and she didn't know ex-
actly what the word meant, anyway
and couldn't rhyme it with eel or reel
or peel.
| Discouraged, she went from hts lips
| to his heart, and after many struggles
with comparisons with a sugar tart.

tons that they part which would
never do; and efforts to pierce with
Cupid's dart; or use art, or wounded
hart, or cart, or perhaps mart all
| failed to give the dash and swing to
her song that she had hoped for.
1t was with sigh that she closed
her dictionary and cast her efforts
into the waste paper basket. Love,
she sighed, lis so strenuous! 1t must
have been much easier to catch them

tonhole, was by his side and his aunt,
Lady Margaret, carrying a sheaf of
beautiful white flowers, was standing
near.
My own witnesses and bridesmaids,
Betsy Beauty and Messy Mcleod, in
large hats, with soaring black
feathers, were behind me. 1 could
hear the rustic of their rose colored
skirts and the indistinct buzz of their
whispered conversation, as well as
the more audible reproofs of Aunt
Bridget, who in crinkly black silk
dress and a bonnet like a half moon
was telling them to be silent and to
look placid.
At the next moment 1 was con-
scious that a bell had been rung in
the chancel; that the organ had
stopped; thai the coughing and hem
ming in the church had ceased; that
somebody was saying, Stand here,
my lord" that Lord Raa, with ner-
vous laugh, was asking, "Here?" and
taking a place by my side; that the
lighted altar, laden with flowers, was
in front of me, and that the bishop in
his vestments, Father Dan in his sur
plice and white stole, and a clerk car
rying a book and a vessel of holy
water We're beginning the service.
Surely never was there a sadder
ceremony. Never did any girl under
similar circumstances feel more
vivid presentiment of the pains and
penalties that follow on a forced and
ill-assorted marriage. And yet there
came to me in the course of the serv-
ice such startling change of thought
as wiped out for a while all my sad
ness made me forget the compulsion
that had been put upon me, and lifted
me into realm of spiritual ecstasy.
The bishop began a short litany,
which asked Gods blessing on the
ceremony which was to join together
two of His children in the bonds of
holy wedlock. While that was going
on l was conscious of nothing except
the bowling of the wind about the
church windows and the faro toll
ing OF the bell on ST. Maty's Rock
nothing but this and a voice within
me which seemed TO say again and

cheerful in that chill atmosphere. and
half an hour late, my intended hus-
band arrived, with his London lawyer
and his friend, Eastcliff
My mind was far from clear and !
had q sense of seeing things by
flashes only. but l remember that |
thought Lord Raa was very nervous,
and il even occurred to me that
early as it was he had been drink
ing.
"Beastly nuisance, isn't it?" he said
to me aside, and then there was some
thing about this legal fuss and fud-
clement"
The Ceremony.
With the air of man with a griev-
ance the High Bailiff took a big book
out of the desk, and a smaller one off
a shelf, and then we sat in a half
circle, and the ceremony began.
1t was very brief and cold like a
matter of business. AS far as l can
remember II consisted of two declara-
tions which Lord Raa and / made first
to the Witnesses present and after
ward to each other. One of them
stated that we knew of no lawful i'm
pediment why We should not be join
ed together in matrimony, and the
other declared that we were there and
then so Joined.
I remember that l repeated the
words automatically, as the High
Bailiff in his thick alcoholic voice read
them out of the smaller of his books
and that Lord Raa, in tones of obvi-
Gus Impotence did the same.
Then the High Bailiff opened the
