A Lady
By Edgar Lee Masters


carnation silk.
Embroidered with Venetian IA.
Between linens that crush in y
hand
Soft as down.
Waking, she looks through a window
Curtained with carnation silk.
Embroidered with Venetian lace.
The walls are hung with velvet
Embossed with a f1eur de lis,
And around her is the silence of ns
ness,
Where footballs are like exhalations
From carpets of moss.
Little clocks tinkle.
Medallions priceless as jewels
Lie by jars suspiring like Goals of fra
And the maid prepares the bath.
Tincturing delicious water with exouis4
essences.
And she is served with coffee
In cups as thin as petals,
Sitting amid pillows that breathe
The souls of freesia!
All things are hers:
Fishes from all seas,
Fruits from all climes.
The city lies at her command,
And is summoned by buttons
Which are pressed by her.
Noiselessly feet move on many floor
Serving her.
Wheels that turn under coaches
Of crystal and ebony,
And yachts dreaming in strange wag
And wings-all are hers.
And she is free:
Her husband comes and goes
From his suite below hers.
She never sees him,
Nor knows his ways, nor his DAYS.
But she is very weary
And all alone amid her servants,
And guests that come and go.
Her lips are red,
Her skin is soft and smooth
But the page blurs before her eyes.
Her eyelids are languid,
And droop from WEAKNESS,
Though she will not rest
From the long pursuit of love-
Her hair is white;
The skin of her faultless neck
Edges in creases
AS she turns her perfect head.
And the days dawn and die.
What day that dawns will bring herl cr5
And day by day she waits for the dsrI
OF new life, a great love.
But every morning brings its rems|
brance
VI the increasing years that are gone
And every evening brings its fear
Ut death which must come.
Until her nerves are shaken
Like woman's hair in the wind
What must be done?
Some one tells her that God is love.
And when the fears come
She says to self over and over,
God is love. God is love.
All is we'll"
AND she wins little oblivion,
Through saying "God is love-"
From the truth in her heart which cn4
Love is life,
Love is a lover,
And love is Cod"
She is flower
winch the spring has nourished,
ana the summer exhausted.
Fall is at hand.
Weird zephyrs stir her leaves and BID
SONS;
And she says to herself, 1T is not fall
For God is lovei"
My poor flower,
May this therapy ease you into sleep, /
And the folding of jewelless hands! 1
You are beginning to be sick
" the incurable disease of age
And the WEAKNESS of futile flesh.

BUSY ON
 BUILDING LOANS
Number of Applicants Indi- cates That Many Residents
 Will Erect Homes.

Officials of local banks report that a large number of applications for building loans are being received daily and they interpret this to mean that Bridgeport residents are needing the governments appeal to help in dustriaI conditions by erecting build ings now.
 The prospective builders have been rather tirnid about approaching banks for loans because many of them did not know that the restrictions regard ing these transactions have been re- moved During the war the banks stopped lending money to this class of applicants but this was done under government instruction.
 Although several announcements have been made that the banks that the banks have resumed the old practice the news was not under stood in certain quarters of the city for a long time. The early spring has also influenced many who earned large sums in munitions factories to start building homes.
 Local architects are having a. busy time, with those who are seeking plans and estimates for homes. Some of the 3nquirers are discouraged when the cost of the proposed house is learned. They are disappointed to discover that the prices of materials and labor have not decreased as pre- dicted. But the majority decide to proceed with the building work.
