THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who has seen the ravages of age on
her face only once. That was several
years ago. Since the eventful day she
learned that she was getting old this
woman has never looked in a mirror.
When she buys hat a daughter ac-
companies her. When she starts down
the street she may have her hat on the
wrong way. Yet, she claims that she
is happier than to see day by day in
the mirror the devastation of Father
Time.
THE ROBIN AND THE POET.
The robin and the poet. their voices
appraised to hail the glad spring, that
shall end all their yearning
blend their two songs in an anthem
to praise, the green in the meadows
and the joy returning. But hold
comes a blizzard; the robin gets wise
he cancels his engagement and
scatters for "kivver." The poet? oh,
no, though the weather defies, his
verse on Spring" must flow on like
the river. This instance disclosed an
knowledge and learning are throbbin'
among creatures, humanor birdlike,
| that sing, there's one that has sense
I refer to the robin. n. S. A.
