A year ago he walked the streets
With aimless tread and slow,
An old bandanna at his neck,
His face denoting woe.
His coat and trousers shone with
His hat, once black, was grey.
And as he shambled here and there
The people edged away.
Last night I saw him in his car,
In perfect evening clothes;
He wore the smile, the diamonds. too,
The man of millions knows;
His overcoat was rich in fur
A silk hat crowned his brow;
A friend explained the fellows change,
He's teaching dancing now.

Imagination. We have just seen the
whole theory worked out on world
scale by national group. In the
end the war-industry turned out to be
Improbable, because of the surprising
unwillingness of so many apparently
easy going people to be subjugated, or
even bullied. 1t Is curious that this
and other examples do not deter other
people from trying the same thing on
a smaller scale in differently constf-
tuted groups. These people see
strangely unaware of the facts of His
tory, even the part of it which was
ended last year.
In addition to being the youngest
general traffic manager, Miss Eliza

year, owns an interest in the business
