However any might criticise tho

could fail to admire the magnificent
spirit OF these women who dared to
clasp hands with women from an
enemy country. 1t was grief and
sympathy that welded us together.

motion was carried making the basis
Of membership the acceptance of

men, and that future international

With the meeting-ground Of the

The wood-light grows more mellow-di,

The wood-light grows more mellow-dim
The leaves dance happily,
The russet path glows deeper hued
To greet her worthily.
And all the birds in chorus sweet
Sing rapturous, insane,
When lassie comes to meet me
Adown the winding lane.
She's sweet as little roses are,
As quaint as mignonette,
And shy as modest pansy-buds,
With shower-jewels set.
She's happiness! And from this world
I've nothing more to gain
When lassie comes to meet me
Adown the winding lane.
This earth would be a kindlier place
II every man could know
The, fragrance of a shady path
Where cool, green grasses grow,
Where, when the sunset hour came by
And life was sweet and sane.
His singing lassie turned the stile
Adown the winding lane.
