A SONG OF LOVES

Through branches OF their leaves bereft
The sunlight Eltters golden.
The moss with velvet clothes each cleft
In ruins grim and olden,
on falling towers the ivy strong
Al signs OF wreck eftaces,
The streamlet sings ts sweetest song
Across the stony places,
When moonless is the wintry sky
Then brightest is the starlight;
Beyond the breakers fierce and high
We see the beacon's far light;
The snowdrop rings its silver bell
When snowdrifts shroud the meadows,
The winds their sacred secrets tell
Behind the evening shadows.
And so. sweetheart, when thou art old
And sad and worn and weary.
When all the world is growing cold.
And all the land looks dreary.
My heart viii follow then the lead
or star and moss and river.
And love thee best in greatest need
Forever and forever

THE CHRIST CHILD

Aci oss the snow the home lights glow
From the myriad hearts alight.
And through the street with noiseless
feet
The Christ-child walks tonight
At silent gates. outside He waits.
To find a fitting spot.
Be thine the shame. II through thy
<klame
rhrist-child enters not.
Where joyous notes from children's
throats
The old glad song begin,
Where love impels and kindness dwells.
The Christ-child enters In.
Where hate has room. pride sits in
gloom.
And wrong invokes unrest,
Though green the walls and bright the
halls.
lie cannot be a guest.
But where the thought that angels
brought
To earth's enraptured ears
Good will to men and peace, again
The Christ-child, listening, hears.
He turns His feet with welcome sweet,
Enters. and there abides.
Angels know best how such are blest
Through all the Christmastides.

THE CURIOUS MISTLETOE
Word-Pink Berries Found Only
on Cedar Trees.

There are about 300 kinds of mistle-
toe in the world. and each variety
grows on the branches of trees and
has little white or pink berries, says
st. Nicholas. But the pink berries
are found on only the cedar trees. The
mlstletoe. unlike other plants, gets no
food directly from the ground. In
stead. 1t gets Its nourishment from the
trees on which It grows.
Another curious thing about the mis-.
tletoe Is that though 1t blossoms earl
Ter in the year than the tree on which
II grows, yet the little berries do not
ripen before December. Maybe that
Is because 1t has to steal It's food from
the trees, and therefore cannot ripen
early. The very name "mistletoe"
gives some idea OF its insignificance.
In the Anglo Saxon language mist"
means gloom, and II comes In mid-win-
ter, the gloomiest time of the year.
The gathering of mistletoe was .
very important ceremony among the
ancient Druids. About five days after
the new moon they marched In state
ly procession to the forest and raised
an altar of straw beneath the finest
misunderstanding oak they could find.
The arch-Druid would ascend the oak,
and, with jeweled knife, remove the
sacred mistletoe. The others stood be-
meath the tree and caught the plant
upon q white cloth, for, If portion
Of it touched the earth. 1t was an omen
OF misfortune to the land.
And this Is doubtless the reason why
II is still the custom to hang it from
the ceiling and why 1t Is supposed to
lose Its charm If II touches the floor.

The crimson fires burn there no more.

The crimson fires burn there no more,
That late the autumn lit,
And broodlng In their ashen cloth
The faded thickets sit.
But when the spring with lit and song
Shall thread the woodland aisle
Each thicket shall arise from grief
With green and cheerful smile.
SO In the heart where shadows brood
In sackcloth covering,
Love comes with beauty and with song
And lights the dusk with spring

FLIPS FROM THE FILMS

! the foremost writers of mystery and
adventure fiction,
/ When it was decided to produce a
series of pictures with Miss Rubens
as star. a thorough search was made
for Il story that would exploit the
actress talent TO the best advantage,
and after a careful reading of more
than 400 scripts, Miss Dalrymple S
story was selected as offering the best
medium,
The production itself is ample proof
that the selection was a wise one, for
hisuionically and pictorially Diane
of the Green Van bears the stamp
of class
A notable cast supports Miss Rubens
in the production. Nigel Barrie plays
Phillip Poynter," the lover, who per-
sisted in following "Diane" in a hay
wagon, and finally carried her off in
caye-man fashion from the Seminole
village. Wedgewood Novel;, Lamar

work.
