THE SHADOW AND THE LIGHT.

THE SHADOW AND THE LIGHT.
All mel we doubt the shining skies
Seen through our shadows Of Of
fense.
And drown with our poor childish
cries
The cradle hymn Of kindly Provi-
dence.
And still we love the evil cause.
And OF the just effect complain;
We tread upon life's broken jaws,
And murmur at our self-inflicted
pam;
We turn us from the light. and find
Our spectral shapes before us
thrown.
As they who leave the sun behind
Walk in the shadows of themselves
alone.
Oh. Love Divinel whose constant
beam
Chine1 on the eyes that VIII not see,
And waits 10 bless u.s. while we dream
Thou leavest rs because we turn
from theol
All souls that struggle and aspire,
All hearts Of prayer by thee are lit;
And. dim or clear, thy tongues of FIRE
On duslky tribes and twilight CEN
turtles sit
Nor bounds. nor cline. nor creed thou
knOw'st
Wide as our needs thy favors fall;
The white wings Of the Holy Ghost
Stoop. seen or unseen, DER the heads
of all.

That's the present sartorial ques-

sue paper and old lavender. those
graceful fringed squares that wrap

There are exquisite gOssamer lace
shawls. black or white. for wear with
the fluffy RULES of our summer or
candies, lovely Pastel tinted crepe
shawls with deep silk fringe as well
as the heavily embroidered crepe
shawls OF Chinese origin.
OF course the exotic beauties OF
the brilliantly embroidered Spanish
shawls are i'm great demand by all
that contingent of stunning brunettes
who effect long dropping earrings
and langourOus glances Even the
maid of sports has fallen for tho
shawl in the shape of the warm
merino plaidie of old Scotland.
There is such a fad for cunning
little capes that Il is indeed a deter
mined and square set of feminine
shoulders that can escape their lure.
Taffeta seems the favorite medium
for these fascinating favorites and
most of the capes are ruilled They
are all ridiculously short and inconse-
Quaniial and therefore coquettish.
One of peach color taiieta is simply
three tiers Of rutlles with another
high rune turned up around the neck
Tor a collar. Two tiny artificial
peaches tied with a knot and long
dengling ends of narrow picot-edged
old blue ribbon, are set at the back of

Another contrasting type is a plain
little fitted cape % grey taffeta. rose

Conservatism Is an argument all too
frequently overworked in Virginia
The spirit of "let well enough alone"
often deters us from the progress
which such a State as ours should
constantly be making. Because Han

A glance at the map of Hanover

A glance at the map of Hanover
County will convince the unbiased
observer that Ashland is the logical
place for the county seat. 1t is the
geographical and business center or
the county. 1t possesses those trans
portation facilities and other conven-
fences which we insist upon having in
the twentieth century. 1t is accessible
TO all parts of the county and 1t is
easily reached from Richmond. where
all OF the Hanover lawyers have their
offices and where the vast majority OF
Hanover people transact their bust
ness, legal and commercial.
We believe that Hanover voters will
refuse 10 be swayed by the superficial
arguments being advanced against the
removal OF the county seat and that
the majority will be found voting on
the side of progress for removal. The
entire state will watch the election
on Tuesday next with interest, and
viii applaud the citizens of Hanover
| il they prove themselves progressive.
