If you dress to make yourself attrac-
tive,
Yet not make puffs and curls your
chief delight;
If you can swim and row, be strong
and active,
But of the gentler graces lose no
sight;
If you can dance without a craze for
dancing,
| and the old;
If you can master French and Greek
and Latin,
And not acquire as we'll priggish
mein;
If you can feel the touch of silk and
! satin
Without despising calico and jean;
| If you can ply saw and use a ham
mer,
| Can do a mans work when the need
/ occurs;
Can sing when asked, without excuse
or stammer;
| Can rise above unfriendly snubs
and slurs;
/ If you can make good bread as well
| as Judges,
Can sew with skill and have an eye
| for dust;
| If you can be friend and hold no
grudges,
A girl whom all will love because
they must;
! If sometime you should meet and love
another,
And make a home with faith and
peace enshrined,
And you it's soul-a loyal wife and
mother
The place that's been developed
through the ages,
And win the best that life can have
| in store;
You'll be, my girl, model for the
A woman whom the world will bow
before.

Enjoyable Dance tor Company A
The dance given last night for the
boys of Co. A by Miss Music Bullock
at the pretty home of her parents was
very informal and delightful in every
way. Over thirty of the soldiers
were present and many of the girls
who had not met them before were
glad of the chance to get acquainted
with Ocala's heroes. The Bullock
home was prettily decorated with
numerous little American flags, and
the beautiful Ocala high school flag,
which was loaned by Prof. Cassels for
the occasion. The young folks enjoy
ed break dances and several "Paul
JONES'" which were called out by
Sergeant Miller, to victrola music
until late hour. Miss Bullock was
assisted during the evening by her
mother and Mrs. E. L. Carney, who
helped the young folks get acquaint-
ed. Mrs. j. H. Strunk and Mrs. Ed
ward Drake served punch during the
evening.
Among those invited to meet the
boys, and almost all of whom accept
ed, were: Misses Louise and Dixonia
Roberts, Helen Jones, Louise Spencer,
Ruth Rentz, Mae Stein, Catherine,
Mary Harriet and Lois Livingston,
