BY CELIA TIIAXTER

She passes up and down life's various ways
with noseiens football ana with serious air:
Within the circle Of her quiet days
She takes OF sorrow and OF JOY her share.
In her bright home like some Jewel set,
The luster OF her beauty lives and CLOVIS.
With all the fragrance Of the violet
And al the radiant spendor OF the rose
As simple and unconscious a flower,
And crowned with womanhood's most subtle charm
She blesses her sweet realm with gentle power
And keeps her hearthfres burning clear and warm
To know her ~ To love her Every year
Makes her precious and more wise md dear
