Heart Beats
BY "A. K.

Pleasure I met
And we disagreed
I criticised Pleasure
Who criticised me.
| called him foolish
And waste of time
He called me prudish-
A youthful crime.
Sometimes we meet now
On the Great Highway
For casual glances-
An hour or two
And without quarrel
Or malice or spite
We go peacefully on our way.
Society caught me
In its mad whirl
But the bonds
Couldn't hold nc
SO finsy they were
And fragile.
One day my restless
Hayward soul ..-
Met Work 49,.
In fine disguise.
From that frst meeting
A Force compelled
Like a personality irresistible
We soon were affinities.
And the more | knew Work
The happier grew.
All Life.
You are wonderful game \
I've worked for charity
And worked for gain
Worked through brain storms
And physical pain.
Precious Time

Minutes lost
Were deep regrets,
Labor brought sunshine
Into my thoughts
| soon spied the Builder
At work on my soul.
But gradually
Subtly-
lnsidiously-
Work got the upper hand.

He became my master
Il grieved to see
What a slave ] had been--
A slave of God
A slave of Evolution
A slave Of Eternity
The chattel of Work.
No time to play =
On white beach sands
Out and away from care.
Then | closed my eyes
An angel whispered
A message into my ear:l
"a slave you say
To all these forces?
Mercy Me!
You are only a slave
TO your very own plans

TAILORED SUIT IS FAvoRlrE
Coat Outfit Depicts Supreme Art
Which Has Been MASTERED by
American Manufacturers.


For so long time now women have
come to accept the tailored coat suit
as the very foundation of their ward
robes that 1t Is the first consideration
as the seasons change. Especially is
this true of the average woman whose
wishes are controlled by expediency
and determined by absolute need.
There is no doubt about the fact that
American manufacturers have devel-
oped the supreme art in the making of
the coat suit. 1t is now possible to
buy such suits, so well built, SO per-
fectly designed, that few taiTors can
excel, for as great care is given to de-
tail as the master makers themselves
can show.
Some foreign critic has said that
there is such monotony about the
clothes of American women that it is
as if everyone were trying to- be as
much like her neighbor as possible, and
originality is an unknown sartOrial art
in this country. This critic must have
referred to the blue serge suits, for it
is undeniably the custom TO clothe our
selves in dark blue, resting secure in
the choice of color and its suitability
for all occasions.

POULTRY HOUSE
NEEDS SUNLIGHT

In building the poultry house ar
rsngements should be made to allow
plenty Of sunshine to enter. In the
shed-roof type of house it pays to
allow the sunshine to strike beneath
the dropping boards. A house IL feet
deep can be, constructed four and
half feet in back and eight and one
half feet in front and other depths
can be made in the same proportions.
The front should then have fOur-foot
curtains along the front and this will
allow an abundance of sunshine to
strike oil portions of the house. Also
have the windows about two feet down
from the top of the house.
One of the causes of disease In the
poultry house is damp litter. 1t Is
expensive to change the litter often
and for this reason as much sunshine
as possible should be allowed to enter
to keep the scratching material from
becoming damp and musty. Sunshine
is the cheapest disinfectant that the
poultryman can use and whenever
possible it should be used to the full
est extent.

Back Yard Orchard Sure to
Bring as Good Returns as
Does the Vegetable Garden

The back yard orchard will make as
valuable a return for the average fam
lily as does the vegetable garden itself.
Everyone who puts ont a garden can
just as we'll be growing a small home
orchard in 1t, according to J. G. Whit
ten of the University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture. The cultivation
given the vegetables is just what is
required by the young trees.
Select apples, cherries, pfums,
peaches and pears of varieties that
will furnish a succession from the
early Richmond cherry, which ripens
in May, to the late-keeping apples, like
Ingram and Lansingburg, which keep
until the following May. One tree of
each variety is enough.
Apple trees should be planted % to
80 feet apart each way, and plum and
peach trees 16 to 20 feet apart. One
year-old trees should be selected for
planting, although in the case of the
apple, sour cherry and pear two-year-

Sun the Universal Clock.
But 1t Was Always Wrong

From the heginhine the sun was the
universal clock, and the universal clock
was always wrong-that is to say
twelve o'clock today was not exactly
the same as twelve O'Clock yesterday.
But the sun had to serve as clock to
most people until little more than a
hundred and fifty years ago. when pub
lie clocks took the place of sun dials
and watches began to be comparative
~ common. Doubtless one of the
earliest forms of getting somewhere
near the hour was by length of shadow,
an upright stick or spear, or even the
erect form Of the time teller himself
serving as natural gnomon. Even
today, all over the far East, the only
clocks in many, and, indeed, in most
places, is the shadow which is OBJ
tanned after one or other of these
methods.

She spaded the plot herself and then

potatoes, and they didn't come at all.

Vogue Launched by French Max
erS Still in Favor.
Afternoon Dress of White Crepe de
Chine Heavily Embroidered In
Front With Black Wool.

The imported gowns from that dear
Paris are not pretty as to line and de-
ssign-not even the most enthusiastic
admirer Of French creations can en-
thuSe over the very short skirts and
sleeves and the rather bunchy look
most OF them seem to have-but they
are decidedly interesting and, more
than that, even they are different from
anything we see hereabOuts.
Now, for instance, says fashion
writer, comes white silk. jersey eve
ming gown, and from DOucet. 1t Is
charming thing with long lines so very
graceful that it is distinctly novel.
While it is true most of the import
ed models seem to be rather bunchy,
1T is also to be noted that they all more
of less are of the one-piece or chemise
type of dress. This particular evening
gown Is an. excellent example, as 1t
has nothing to break the long lines ex-
scept a wide sash going twice around
the waist and looping just at the hip
on one side. The ends are finished
with a heavy silken fringe and about
halfway up the skirt are loOped
strands of white beads punctuated
with large fiat jet sequins. The yoke
of the bodice is Ornamented with the
same sort of beads and jet so placed
that they fall over the shoulders and
thus form the sleeves, as there are
no others. 1t is difficult to describe a
frock of this sort for the reason that
it is far Iovelier to see than it Is to
read about.
All last year the French makers
were busy launching vogue of black
and white. and the combination is still
highly favored, as 1 find it exploited
pleasingly In a Lanyin afternoon dress
of white crepe de chine heavily en-
broidered in the front with black wool.
This dress has the queer skirt distin-
gushing a number of French gowns
by being so much longer in front than
in the black and also by having most
of the fullness gathered in the front.
A black sash goes around the waist
and falls quite to the hem in the back.
Indeed, the sash is an important
thing on every gown, as it appears in
many unusual and interesting ar
engagements. sometimes placed high up
under the arms and crossed in the front
and again in, the back, where it loops
between the shoulderblades and then
falls the length Of the entire frock. In
this instance the sash is not more than
four inches wide and appears on a
Lige satin frock made with the SIM
pIicity of q little girls school dress,
falling long and straight from the
shoulders. with only the little crossed
hold in the fuIlness. The sleeves are
very short, just the length we would
call awkward, as they stop far short of
the elbow. 49,

THE DANCING FAUN

Thou dancer of two thousand years,
Thou dancer of today,
What silent music fills thy ears,
What Bacchic lay, =
That thou dost dance the centuries
Down their forgotten way?
What mystic strain of pagan mirth
Has charmed eternally
Those 1.-the, strong limbs, that spurn the
earth?
What melody,
Unheard of men. has Father Pan
Left lingering with thee?
All! where is now the wanton throng
That round thee used to meet?
On dead lips died the drinking-song,
But wild and sweet.
What silent music urged thee On,
To its unuttered beat,
That when at last Times weary Will
Brought thee again In sight,
Thou cam'st forth dancing, dancing still,
Into the light.
Unwearied from the murk and dusk
OF centuries of night?
Alas for thee!-Alas again.
The early faith is gone!
The gods are no more seen of men.
All, all are gone
The shaggy forests no more shield
The Satyr and the Faun.
On Attic slopes the bee still huns,
On many an Elan hill
The wild-grape swells, but never comes
The distant trill
OF reedy flutes: for Pan is dead,
Broken his pipes and still.
And yet within thy listening ears
The pagan measures ring
Those limbs that have outdanced the
years
Yet tireless spring;
How canst thou dream Pan dead when
still
Thou seem'st to hear him sing?

Familiar Phrases Which
Recall Adventurous Days

How many familiar phrases we use
without realizing the apt and some
times striking figures they represent |!
Consider the word 'skinflint," for ex-
ample, or the expression "a flash in
the pan" We ask for "leeway" or we
shorten sail :" we launch plans" or
we run close to the wind" We have
'close shave;" we speak of a man
as half seas over" We take time by
the foreiock" and ''the bull by the
horns" We "get down to hard pan"
or ito bed rock" Yet we seldom think
of the phrases as graphic metaphors,
and more seldom still do we think. as
we use them, of the adventurous days
to which we owe so much of the sug-
gestiveness of our colloquiaI speech
