canvas blouse, cut short at tho
sleeves, and her arms were slightly
tanned by the sun, and there was
the fainstest powdering of freckles
on her face. She was hatless, and
her thick brown hair was rather
severely dressed in a simple coil,
though round her forehead 1t had

ishly.
She was something better than
pretty, SO a disinterested onlooker
would have said; something in
rnitely better than the pink-and-
wilderness Of Kitty Arlington;
something that arrested attention
by the frankness of the gray eyes
and the flrmness of the rather wide
mouth.
Just now she was looking rather

whole face lit up as II by magic
and q distracting dimple made its
appearance.
But Philip had no eyes for dim
pies that were not to be seen in
Kittys' face, and, though he loved
tennis, he played badly and lost the
set.

But Philip had seen that Kitty
was momentarily alone, and he
stammered out that he would

with q lot more excuses, but Eva
cut him short.
"It's just as you like" she said,

What's the matter with him?
Never saw him play such a rotten

He says he'll play later" she
answered. but she kept her eyes

the trees Philip had persuaded
Kitty to 60 with him to the flower

She agreed. with a little laugh:
she knew quite we'll that he was
going to ask her to marry him. and
she also knew what he did not
know, that she had been planning
and scheming for this all the
summer.

Philip was an only son. He was

NOT TOO DOGGONE RELIGIOUS.
When the young newspaper man
who had been out of college a couple
of years conhded to The Woman
that he was about to study for the
ministry she was . bit surprised.
Not that he hadn't always had q
very keen interest in the welfare
of his fellow-men. but-well, for
ono thing. the youths vocabulary
was hardly what she had considered
ministerial. However, all that might
easily be altered. so IL was with
great interest that she greeted the
youth on his FIRST call after enter

DICTAGRAMS

Several weeks ago, inspired by the
pitter patter of the first rainfall of
the season, the dictagrammer made
mention of a poem by Coates Kin
ney, entitled "Rain the Roof"
it, Mrs. L. Larson was the first to
respond-quoting from memory two
tanzas which she sent in letter
from California. E. C. Berrie quoted
other stanzas, and Hudson Harlan
recalled parts of the poem and
thought there should be six stanzas
in all. Mrs. F. C. Wollner found
three stanzas in an old Franklin
Square song book, and three stanzas
We're found in more recent book
called 'FHeart Throbs''. All in all,
the net result was four stanzas but
the several version differed in title
and in numerous lines and phrases.
However, we are now in possession
of a complete and authentic copy of
the poern-thanks to Mrs. Larson,
again. Visiting bookstore in Los
Angeles which deals in old and rare
Lyrics of the Ideal and the REAP
That book contained the particular
lyric wanted but before our or
der reached Los Angeles it was sold
and we had to wait until the book
store people could locate another
copy-the book being out of print
and hard to fnd-but at last we
have it. Here is the correst title and
complete poem:

Rain on the Roof


When the humid shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres.
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears,
What bliss to press the pillow
Of a ottage-chamber bed
And lie listening to the patter
OF the soft rain overhead!
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart;
And a thousand dreamy fancies
Into busy being start,
And a thousand reco1lections
Weave their air-threads into wool,
AS I listen to the patter
Of the rain upon the roof.
Now in memory comes my mother,
AS she used in years agone,
To regard the darling dreamers
Ere she left them till the dawn;
o! I feel her fond look on me
AS list to this refrain
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.
Then my little seraph-sister,
With the VIKINGS and waving hair,
And her star-eyed cherub- brotl1ef-
A serene angelic pair
Glide around my wakeful pillow,
With their praise or mild reproof.
AS L listen to the murrnur
Of the soft rain on the roof.
And another comes, to thrill me
With her eyes delicious blue;
And l mind not, musing her,
That her heart was all untrue:
remember but to love her
With a passion kin to pain.
And my hearts quick pulses culver
To the patter of the rain.
Art hath naught of tone or cadence
That can work with such a spell
In the souls mysterious fountains
Whence the tears of rapture well.
As that melody of Nature
That subdued, subduing strain
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.
