POETRY.

The Beautiful Land of Nod Come, cuddle your head on my shoul-
 der, dear. Your head like the golden rod. And we will go sailing away from here To the beautiful land of Nod Away from life's hurry. and furry. and
 worry.
 Away from the earth's shadows and
 gloom, To a world of fair weather we'll float
 on together,
 Where roses are always In bloom Just shut up your eyes. and fold your
 hands.
 Tour hands like the leaves of a rose. And we will go sailing to those fair
 lands
 That never an atlas shows. Or the north and the west they are
 bounded by rest. On the south and the east by
 dreams; 'Tis the country ideal. where nothing is
 real
 But everything only seems. Just drop down the curtains of your
 dear eyes,
 Those eyes like a bright bluebeI. And we will sail out under starlit skies Down the river of sleep our bark shall
 sweep, Till it reaches that mystical isle Which no man hath seen but where all
 have been. And there we will pause a while. l will croon you a song as we float
 along
 To that shore that is blessed of God. Then ho, for that fair land, we're off
 for that rare land. That beautiful Land of Nod

BY CAROLYN SHERWIN BAILEY
 Bringing outdoors indoors - how cheerful it sounds! A few sprays of hrieht leaves, few little green vines with their roots aud berries, 2 tiny pine tree, and yon can make host of pretty decorations for your room.
 Leaves Waxed on Branches
 If you are clever with your hands, you can wax the autumn leaves on branches So as to keep their lovely gold, crimson, and brown until spring Run an iron that is not too hot lightly over beeswax. Then iron each leat, lies flat on several thicknesses of newspaper spread on the .ironing board. The glossy wax keeps them from diving and seems even to bright en and deepen their colorlng
 Put a spray of these lovely waxed leaves in a tall, straight, plain, white, green. or brown vase on your table or desk. They will transform your room with color
 A Border for Your Room
 Cut long, narrow strips of plain wall paper of neutral tint; tan. gray, or green. On these fastcn waxed leaves with glue in an artistic irregu- lar way, large ones alternating with small eues. liny IVY leaves are par ticularly attractive. Lay the strips finder heavy weight until the glue is completely dry. Then make a Dor strips to the wall with thumb tacks.
 A Woodsy Garden
 Get a small i. round goldfish jar about the size used for three fish. Have a circular piece of glass cut to fit the top exactly. Spread a thick layer of dampened earth in the bot tom. Plant inc roots of little wild vines i'll 1t. They will need to be set in thickly tor be pretty. If you were able to find a little pine tree about three inches tall. plant 1t in the middle and arrange the vines. with their bright berries, around the edge. Some times very tiny fern plant will live bravely in one of these woodsy in door gardens
 When the jar is well filled, sprinkle lightly with water and put on the cover. Decorate the top with pretty ribbon. Place it where 1t will catch the morning sunshine

My Trip to New York.

Mother and father decided to take a trip to New York and take me with them. It seemed a long time to me before we started as it was the first trip I had since I could remember. It was a nice cool day for traveling and we enjoyed the trip very much.
 When we reached New York we were very much fatigued as it was a very long ride.
 We took sour parcels and went to the nearest hotel.
 The next day we visited our friends and relatives. staying about a day at each place.
 Our trip lasted about a month and then we left for home.
 We enjoyed ourselves very much. GLADYS ST. JOHN. Age H.
