In the beginning, when Twashtri
came to the creation Of woman. he
found that he had exhausted his
materials in the making OF man. and
that no solid elements were left.
in this dilemma. after profound
meditation. he did as follows:
"He took the rotund!ty OF the
moon. the twinkling of stars: the
curves OF creepers, the clinging Of
tendril. the trembling Of grass. the
slenderness Of the reed; the bloom
OF flowers. the lightness Of leaves;
the tapering OF elephants trunk. the
glances OF deer. the clustering of
rows OF bees. the joyous gaiety of
sunbeams: the weeping OF clouds.
the fckleness of wind; the timidity
OF the hare. the vanity Of the pea
cock: the sOftness Of the parrots
bosom. the hardness OF the ada
mant: the sweetness of honey, the
cruelty OF the tiger; the warm glow
Of the fire the GOODNESS Of snow;
the chattering Of jays, the cooling OF
the kokila: the hypocrisy Of the
crane. the fidelity OF the chakra-
vaka: and compounding all these
together ne made woman and gave

More Truth
Than Poetry
IT'S A HARD LIFE.
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

You could not to the hen impute
A wish TO wound or hurt you;
She's diligent in the pursuit
or every homely virtue.
With honest industry she earns
Her breakfast. lunch and dinner.
And for these blessings she returns
The best that there is in her.
Yet when the hen at last is floored
BY years OF stern endeavor,
Does she receive the just reward
OF sterling virtue-never!
With cold and calculating stare
The butcher contemplates her.
And she is hurried off 10 where
A casserole awaits her!
But pat the clam upon his shell.
His grateful glance requites you,
He never gets a peevish spell
Or barks. or growls or bites you,
Within a narrow compass curled
He has small chance for action,
But he would not. for all the world
Express dissatisfaction.
Untouched by malice. greed or hate
From rectitude answering.
The very nOblest gifts OF fate
Are not past his deserving.
Though duh and drear has been hii
past
He is not hard or bitter.
And yet the patient clam at last
VIII finish in a fritter,
