 Even in their exodus across the great American plains into the wilds of the wonderful Rocky mountains the Nor mon people. under the leadership of that most wonderful and resourseful man, Brigham Young. indulged in the dance and other social functions. By doing this they were able to throw off some of the sorrow and privations that would have borne so heavily on them had they not done so.
 At night around the camp fires and even during their weary days march, ing they would sing songs of praises to their Creator and when convenient would enjoy themselves in such recre- ations as dancing, music making and even in wrestling. pitching horse shoes and other field sports.
 After reaching their destination ir the valley of Great Salt Lake one of the first things to be established was entertainment for both old and young
 The leaders of the church have al- ways been particular that good mer and women have been chosen to for mulate plans of amusements so that such entertainments might serve theiI purposes well. The leaders feel that lighter pastimes serve to refresh the body and spirit and for this reason only high and holy programs are sanctioned.
 The Mormon people think that even the dance when restricted to the pur, in heart and to proper behavior and at titudes is conducive of real enjoyment
 Not only are the children and young looked after and given entertainment and socials but a few years ago th' thought was advanced that the aget should be entertained by the young, SC an "Old Folks Day Program is giver where the old folks can be entertaIneC Many neglected old people have beer made happy by these reunions anC have been made to feel that life hai been worth living.

THE NoTRE DAME GARGoYLEs

From the Manchester Guardian.)
 The gargoyles of Notre Dame are commonly associated with the me dieval spirit and the queer obsessions of old Paris.
 As a matter of fact, whilst the stained glass windows (which have just been reset in their frames) date from the Thirteenth and Fourteenth centuries, most of the gargoyles were executed under the direction of Viol- let le Due when the cathedral was restored, no earlier that the middle of the last century. Writing in 1913, Har- ry Hens, who is an authority on ar chitectural subjects declared that most of the gargoyles carved at the time of the restoration of Notre Dame were done by an Englishman named Tramp ton, though I believe this fact is now remembered by very few.'

to many, especially those who remember
with fondness the days they used to revel in
reading the adventures and antics of
'tPeck's Bad Boy" and other heroes of
their boyhood days. Even though the
''hero" of this play is girl, yet the same
spirit of mischief seems to pervade the
scenes as it did in the books of old.

One Night When Was Put
to Bed

One night when l was put to he'd,
The sun still shining overhead,
heard the queerest Pitter-patter
And sing-song low and chitter-chatter,
And on my bed, right in the middle,
The cat sat down to play his fiddle,
And bumped me hard, and said, ''Just
I've made them walk out of your book
Then Goosey Gander, Baby Bunting,
Puss- in Boots, all came hunting;
The Three Blind Mice sat up to sing,
And Old King Cole was jolly old thing;
And Humpty Dumpty sat him down,
And Jack and Jill they broke their crown.

Is it really true you've lost your sheep?
You'd better turn and run, run, run,
Lest you see man with gun, gun, gun. "
Then the cat cried, CLARK!

The beggars are coming to town.

To Be a Kid Again

I'd like to be a kid again, for just one sum-
mer's day
And throw away these guns and swords and
run away to play
A-down the yellow orchard lane and by the
rivers brim,
And bring line and fshhook, too, but
first I'D have swim.
And somehow, imagine, that the swim
would wash away
The rust and blood and canker and the
many years decay
Of images and idols and dreams of long
ago,
And drench the world with star-drops in
the way it used to go.
And I'd watch the little ripples 60 swirling
down to sea,
And speculate and marvel on the great
man would be;
And wonder what the big world held-the
world awaiting me
The world of silvery dream-dust-the world
l coudn't see.
And then wish the grimy side of what
am today
Could steal beside the dreaming boy and
watch him as he Law,
And see the velvet starshine in the clear.

All that 1 write is dyed with my heart s
hue;
And yet it is not mine, some loftier power
Has stepped my thought before it met your
view
In curving leaf and variegated flower.
The sun pours life into thousand forms,
But though that glorious ardor be the
In every tiniest leaf its effluence warns,
Men give to each new plant its separate
name.
So with divine omnipotence the sun
Of Love shines freely on a myriad seeds,
And, though the source Of radiance be but
one,
They thrill diversely into blossoming
deeds.
One flower is red, another one is blue;
This is called 81" and that one there
is "You.'

A Ballade Against Critics

You mourn for your hopes decay
Ambition and Fame are cheatsa-
Some Critic has deigned to fay
Your work in the public sheets.
Come, don't be lamb that bleats!
The battle is gay and long.
Rememb Der (oh, sweet of sweets)
The Critics are mostly wrong.
The Criticsi who are theyi
Usurpers that hold their seats
Az hour of passing day;
And what are their noble featsl
Why. see what they did to Keats
And Byron, that Lord of Song!
Apollo himself repeats
"The Critics are mostly wrong!"
Aware of their feet of clay,
When Critic with Critic meets
They wink as they go their way
To plot in their foul retreats.
Then shout in the open streets,
o ardent but inky throng,
The truth that each heart secretes:
"The Critics are mostly wrong!"
ENvOI
Though skilled with the lash that beats,
And deft with the prodding prong,
As sure as their moment fleets,
u, The Critics are mostly wrong!

A Young Girl Dead

think they were amazed to see you there:
The old, old dead would stir, remember
ing
The delicate, sweet promptiugs of the
Spring,
Earth at her April rain, and morning air;
Each indolent and drowsy shade would stare
With eyes grown troubled for the hints
you bring
Of color long forgot and scents that cling,
And light still warm along your shining
hair.
And one would draw his cape, grown
strangely chill,
And one with some old question newly
stirred,
Would nearer come, as though to ask q
word,
And suddenly remember, and be still
1t were as though q warm earth wind had
spread
Something like life among the puzzled
