Quoting again from American
Youth: ut is a good time as we'll,

is not rated as high as it was a year

is a money giver now. The kindnesses

Genuine sacrifice for others is helping
to find it's real place in our personal
and national life
Awful as has been the cost of this
war. at every turn we recognize that
it has been u great leveller of class,

number of legislatures will be in ses-

these States are already classified as

Letters from Sea
(By Rosamond Reed.)

t6N fkUSdIlOllu INttlJ
Long Years ago she wrote them,
Letters from over the sea;
! read them over and over,
They are fairy tales to me.
There are tales OF boisterous tempests,
Tales of the tropic sea
Stories of patient waiting.
Quiet and safe in the lea
OF sunny Iandlocked harbors,
Longing for home again.
Sketches OF foreign CUSTOM,
In Italy, France and Spain.
And ever through the missives.
Like sun on the ocean blue.
A tender note is sounding,
\ love-song, sweet and true.
For she was the Captain sweetheart,
Welded lovers they;
The sacred cords that bound them
Grew stronger, day by day.
Staunch was the noble vessel
That bore them safe along.
The wind that swept her cordage
Chanted the oceans song.
The white gulls followed in her wake,
The waves crests smote her side;
She seemed a breathing, living thing,
Atoat upon the tide.
Oh. strange, sad mystery of life.
Deep as the ciangeless sea-
! ponder over my letters
And wonder how it may ne
That fragile sheets of paper
Outstay the busy hand,
The hand that wrote the letters
From many foreign land.
Gone is the stalwart Captain,
Gone his winsome bride:
Lost long ago the stately bark
that rode in the swelling tide.
Yet full Of life and glowing.
My letters from over the sea
read them over and over.
They are fairy tales to me.
