Our Evening Thought

4 X
And you sit alone with your
thoughts,
While. the chimes ring out with q
carol gay
For the joy that the day has
brought,
Do you think what the end of per-
feet day
Can mean to tired heart,
When the sun goes down with fam
ing ray
And dear friends have to part?
Well, this is the end of a perfect day,
Near the end of journey, too;
But it leaves thought that is big
and strong,
With a wish that is kind and true,
For memory has painted this perfect
day
With colors that ne'er will fade,
And we find at the end Of such day
The soul of friend we've made.

tea for the Children's Home Society
of Jacksonville at the home of Miss
Nettie Camp. Tennis had been plan
ned for the amusement of the guests
| for the afternoon but the downpour
of rain interferred, so instead the
girls spent the afternoon enjoying IN
door sports, dancing and playing var
ious games, and the time was passed
in a most charming and delightful
manner. A delicious repast of lime
ade, cake and sandwiches was served
at a late hour by the little hostess,
