 Washington's farewell address will ever be cherished as a priceless legacy to the American people. It is notable alike for it's simple eloquence, it's un- feigned affection and for it's wise counsel.
 Washington's prophetic vision seemed all but inspired, but in re- ferring to America's isolation in rela- tion to European nations as a guar anty of security, he did not foresee the changed conditions in the worlds affairs wrought by science. Were Washington living today he would be an advocate of national preparedness. In one of his public letters he sug- gested that in republic like this it was the duty of every able-bodied man to be something of soldier. He. was an earnest believer in the or ganized militia. Unquestionably he would have held in contempt any apostle of unpreparedness.
 A lover of peace, Washington real ized full we'll, as did the other states men and patriots of his day, the neces- sity of eternal vigilance. He could not look ahead century and more. and see how near this country would be to foreign entanglements" and bloody conflict with European bel But for all that, George was of wider vision than any sage of his time, and with the passing years the lustre of his fame will never diminish.

THE LOOM OF DREAMS

By Arthur Symons I broider my life upon a loom, I broider with dreams my tapestry: Here in little lonely room I am master of earth and sea, And the planets come to me. I broider my life into the frame broider my love. thread upon thread; The world goes by with it's glory and
 shame,
 Crowns are bartered and blood is shed; I sit and broider my dreams instead. And the only world is the world of my
 dreams,
 And my weaving the only happiness; For what is the world but what it seems And who knows but that God beyond
 our guess
 Sits weaving worlds out of loneliness

 T am fond of good music and never rail to hear great artists when the op- portunity offers. I have heard Kreisler three times, but hope to hear him many times more.
 Tt is to the credit of any city of 2OOoOo or 250,OOO to secure an appearance of Kreisler. It is a big thing for Bir- mipgham. Kreis1er is booked for a re- cital in New Orleans, but not in Atlanta"
