What All Prospective
Bridegrooms Know
That he won't be able to find the
wedding ring at the fatal moment.
That his hands will look as big as
the broadside of barn. during the
ceremony, and that it is confounded
shame that it isn't permissible to hide
them in his trousers pockets.
That it would be an immense relief
to elope instead of going through the
fuss and furry of the church wed
ding.
That his pal has too much of a
smile on his face, and is sure to play
some sort of trick before the cere
mony is over with.
That all the women in the congre
cation will wonder what on earth it
is that the bride sees in him.
That all his bachelor friends are
sadly shaking their heads and saying
Another good man gone
That though the brides father has
protested vehemently that he doesn't
want to give up<his little girl, he still
seems remarkably happy over the fact
that she is getting married.
That while the fact remains that he
isn't marrying the whole family the
whole bunch has laid out schedule
OF visits they are going to pay him
during the next few months
That if the brides mischievous little
brother pulls off any of his so-called
cute little tricks" during the cere
mony it will be with extreme Difficult
ty that he will restrain himself from
Impending little brother and giving him
a splendid little padding.
The Heart of Woman
Laughter and sunshine and story,
Beauty and sweetness and trust;
Courage and grandeur and glory,
Shadows and darkness and dust
Grand virtues, great sweetness and
sorrows,
Peace, happiness, passion and pain.
One moment it blooms like a garden.
With every sweet blossom life
knows,
A vale of the peace of the ages,
A pathway through violet and rose;
And then Ger the darkness and doubt
ing
The wings of storm sweep the
skies,
And the garden is tossed in the tenn
pest,
And the vale in dark ruin lies.
One woman SO pitiful, tender,
And then all the rage and the hate
Fill its beating with infinite shadows
AS it raves against infinite fate.
One moment so true and so loving,
so clinging and gentle and sweet;
All the songs of life sweeping its
gamut,
Every blossom Of life in its beat
And yet with all changing and travail
All sorrow and aching and cross,
All sunshine today, then tomorrow
Cast down in the grief of some loss;
And yet with it's battle and thunder
Is April of showers and of shine,
God, give me the heart of woman
And take all the rest that is minel
