Honor Two Monarchs

The celebration in honor of the
Kings birthday was a purely official
party: but a few evenings later the
young people had their innings at the
embassy. Count and Countess di Gel
lere giving a dance for their daHgh
ter. Agnese di Cellere-no she's not in
the debutante class yet--and their
young guests, Carmen Calderon and
Jose Calderon, daughter and son of
a former minister of Peru to the
United States. The party was on
Thursday evening.
Washington also celebrated the fete
day of another King, Albert OF Bel
gium, last week; but the festivities
were much less formal and imposing
In character. The anniversary, which,
by the way. is not the Kings birth
day, but according to the custom
prevalent in Catholic countries, the
festival Of his patron saint. was
marked by a small dinner at the ie-
cation, with the Belgian minister.

WINTER.

Winter is here,
And earth puts on her shroud of
snow,
To hide her tear
That not a one may ever know.
She hides her scars
And all the strife that once was
hers, 80.
And nothing mars
The beauty that snowflake stirs.
Can we do this
In life's bleak winter cold and
gray?
Then age is bliss
And life returns that final day.
The earth's turmoil
Is made by man in evil gown,
And not the soil;
Yet man is his and his alone.
Let US start now
To live just such life that we.
When flesh breaks down,
Can shroud our souls in purity.
