IN DREAMS AGAIN I SEE

There's a little lonesome feeling
Stealing thru my heart tonight,
AS hear curfew pealing
And / see a distant light.
My mind 1t seems to wander.
To a place so dear to me
And 1t seems to slowly sender
Round the things I'd love to see.
I, in dreams do once more hurry
Towards the dear old Lincoln school
Where Miss Royce is in furry
And Miss Horton has the rule.
Now 1 seem to picture clearly
The Sunday school and church
Where SO many go just merely
To be not caught in the lurch.
But pastor Parry Is most truly
In his Baptist Christian views
And he brings his message ruley
So no men sleep in their pews.
would love to linger longer
But my mind flies swiftly by
AS see picture stronger
And to see 1t ! must try.
How long to grab my ice skates
And go down upon the pond
Where have no thot OF fear or fate
And enjoy the sport of which I'm fond.
Now, I go on up the Main street
And see stores I have been in
But my mind seems to be feeting
AS see where / have been
can plainly see the old friends
Which are more true than the new
AS they often try to softly blend
The gladness with the sorrows true.
Now my mind Is in furry
For 1t seems to want to fly
And I see folks in hurry
As the autos pass me by.
What's the reason for the stirring?
Is what seems to puzzle me;
Then hear a whistle blurring
And I see the D and r. G.
Then L stop hurrying gent
And ask what this all meant;
But he quickly explained the rate ID
For the train was only an hour late.
Now. the picture is all blurry
And miss the rush and furry
AZ my mind comes back again
From the place where It has been
There's . lonesome little feeling
Steals back thruoEh my heart anew,
A. hear that curfew pealing
And I long Tor Delta too.

PLEA FOR ZONING ORDINANCE
Kansas City Newspaper Makes Strong
Arguments for the Universal
Adoption of Plan.

Protection for the homes and boule-
wards of Kansas City, Kan, can be
had only through coming, Roy r. Hos
ford, city building inspector has con-
Guided. Such evils as Mr.. Hosford
'enunerates, the placing Of shops or
stores on boulevard and residence ter
ritory, the building Of garages in front
of homes and the failure to set back
residences q certain and uniform dis
lance from the street, call for general
regulation which only coming Ordi-
nance can give.
It is possible for a group Of property
owners in some sections Of city to
get together and secure restrictions
that will protect their buildings for
a period Of years. Where this action
has been taken not only more beaut1-
full homes or better business structures
have been the result, but property val
ues have increased or have been stead
lily maintained. But this kind Of &C
ton is haphazard and often is only OF
temporary value. The question may
be settled once for all, and for the
whole city, by the working out of q
coming ordinance.
1t is such an ordinance that Kansas
City, Mo-, must have soon, and that
Kansas City, Kan, is planning to OBJ

Windows Of House You Build.

In general. windows look best, both
inside and out, If they are grouped.
An occasional bay breaks the monot-
ony of walls, both inside and out, and
even in q fiat wall the group of three
or four windows separated only by
thin mullions Is far more effective
than scattered windows.
There is no doubt that the easement
type Of window, preferably loaded, Is
far more interesting than the double
hung, two-sash type, or that small
panes are more picturesque than large
ones. OF course, small panes are
harder to clean, but the question re-
solves itself into whether or not one
is setting convenience above architec-
tural charm.
To be thought OF in connection with
windows are shutters. Fortunately,
the battened-wOod or panel type Ii
growing Increasingly popular. There
Is always the chance to make the solid
shutter individual by introducing some
special device, as the pierced opening
in place Of the conventional half-mOOn,
heart, clover or tree. The family
crest, or some device symbolizing the
pane OF the house, may be cut in

THE FROG WEDDING

DINE TREE VALLEY, l must tell
I you, is one of the incest parts of
Frogville, and every frog that cares at
all about where he lives tries to find a
home in that valley.
When it became known in Pine Tree
Valley that Miss Jennie Frog was to be
married there was great excitement.
Mrs. Field Mouse read the notice In
the paper, the Pine Tree lettings, and
hurried to the phone.
Squeak, squeak! Give me Miss
Cricket, pleased" said Mrs. Mouse.
When at last Miss Cricket answered.
Mrs. Mouse said:
Il have just read in Pine Tree Jot-
tings that Jennie Frog Is to be mar
ried to Billy Frog. Do you suppose
We'll be invited?"
"Of course we Wilt" replied Miss
Cricket. 1--WE are all such old friends

it would have been hard to find.
Mr.. Jar Fly began tuning up ana
soon the orchestra burst forth with
the wedding march and two lovely
yellow butterflies flew lightly over the
bank by the pond and began to sprinkle
tiny flowers for the bride to walk on.
Then came pretty little Sally Frog,
the maid of honor, and at last Jenny
Frog, the bride, appeared leaning on
the arm of her father, Mr.. b. Frog,
who was so pulled up with pride that
the guests were afraid he would burst
his white vest.
"Mrs. Darning Needle did know how
to arrange Jenny's VEIL" whispered
Miss Cricket to Mrs. Mouse. Il was
afraid she would be so old fashioned
that she would spoil Jenny's costume.
Parson Beetle, with his black book
in hand, was waiting beneath the pine
tree for the wedding party, and two
handsome young frogs held big lily
pad parasol over them, so the rays OF
the sun peeping through the tree
branches would not shine in their eyes
Don't begin yet" suddenly buzzed
big bee, flying over the heads OF
every one and behaving in a manner

No one wanted to have old Mrs
Snail miss anything, so the Ant boys
rushed away in their wagon to bring
her the rest of the way.
"That is the first time ever knew
that nosy Bee fellow to do anything
sensible" buzzed Miss Wasp, who new
er failed to use her sharp tongue

The wedding gifts were numerous
and of many kinds, though, as Mis-:
Wasp said, "Why anyone gave Jenn!
Frog a silk umbrella she could no
think, when Jenny did not mind thu
water and, in fact, would rather b'
wet than not"
And then came that wonderful sup
per when every one ate all they want
| ed and little more. "But we had t.

DELIA. is name of curiously con-
- flicting history. There are sew
eral origins from which she might
have sprung. In England, she ap-
pears most frequently as a con-
yenient contraction for the dignity OF
Cordelia. The truly Irish flavor Of
Bedelia and the popularity OF Della
in that country might give rise to
the contention that the latter name
is the diminutive of the old song IA
vOrite.
But Della, according to the best
chronological authorities, Is separate
and Independent name which has Its
source in no less an exalted realm
than the mythology of ancient Greece.
It was Artemis or Diana, the moon
goddess, who, being born at Delos,
caused the place Of her nativity to be
immortalized in Greek NEUROLOGICAL
history.
In honor Of the goddess, the fem
mime name Della was evolved from
Delos and sprang to instant fame IN
Arcadian poetry. Lovely shepherd
esses who figure In those ancient pas
torals, bore the name and 1t reached
England by the literary route. The
sound Of it was good to Irish ears.
and 1t was straightway adopted by
that country.
Since Artemis was the moon god
dess, 1t is fitting that Delia's tails
