BROKEN LIVES
By Ellen Addir
Gathering Up the Fragments

the feeling that we are OF use in the
world that we are truly necessary to
some one And to play ones fitting part
In the alienation Of other peoples sor-
rows is the finest thing that any one
can do"
Her remark was tho real Interpretation
OF the phrase gathering up the frag-
ments." And we all know that out Of
fragments. battered and smashed though
they he, many wonderful things can be
made. They may not have the complete
and fresh wonder Of the original hut
these fragments of broken life can be
fashioned into something more useful and
beautiful than before.
For many lives in this old world have
to be broken before they reach their
highest development. Never day passes
but there is some act of self-denial or
kindness which we really ought to per-
form. But most of us are apt TO be
little blind to duty. particularly when
things are going well with us. Good luck
often makes us slack. We get so COM
Portable sometimes that we don't want to
move And yet the finger of duty is al
ways pointing.
Duty has dun sound TO ears which
are full of merrment and laughter
Self-sacrihCe seems too much to expect
from the woman who is enjoying every
moment of the day. Yet when that happy
life meets with some terrible sorrow,
some catastrophe happening which takes
all the JOY from life and in its place
leaves only a great deal of pain. the soul
awaies from its long sleep, and begins
To- grow Nnd out of the shattered frag-
ments of the broken life something finer
and infinitely more "Worth-while' springs
up.

Taffeta Frocks and Summer Gowns

LII the stores are showing taffeta
Afrocks for street wear, almost to the
exclusion of the summery dresses which
begin to make their appearance about
this time-at least, taffeta is by far the
first choice Of the two. Crepe de chimes
gabardines and dark voiles are also in

Quaker gray are the spring shades de

TOWN OF FUNNY DREAMS
THE SUNNY SEEDS
BY Bob Williams

When Bounding Barrows had the Rocks
And Gravel stored away
So far from Funny Garden Lots
They'd simply have to stay
In some old Dale where they were
brought
TO give the Sprouts a chance:
Well then the Sunny Seeds were bought,
The Gardens TO enhance.
The Funny Farmers dropped them down
The Holes and Grooves and Drills;
And then they trowefd on the Earth
Ia Baby Peaks and Hills.
