You may not understand what I'm
about to say, my friend; maybe it's
better IL you don't, but 1t is true
In her book, "a Few Figs From
Thlstles." Edna 81. Vincent Millay
has written a poem called THE Merry
Maid" Here are the first two stanzas:
Oh. ! am grown so free from care
Since my heart brokei
set my throat against the air
And laugh at simple folkl
There's little kind and little fair
Is worth its weight in smoke
To me that's grown 30 free from care
Since my heart broke.
Only those who have suffered to
the last limit of their individual en-
durance, then &eebly but triumphantly
built a new alliance with life, can
understand the meaning Of, those
verses. For only they know the
laughter of which she speaks. When
fate has done its worst with you,
when sickness, death. deceit and in
justice have eaten through to the
sinews Of your spirit. you no longer
cry or talk about it. Words and tears
mean nothing at all. You are still.
Then. II you have the seeds of cour
age In you, you learn to live again.
But life no longer hurts. You are
ou nave CdIc De-
cause you have conquered self. You
no longer measure all experience by
its reaction on you or all people by
their service to you. And so you es-
cape both fear and disappointment.
When shave come to that point
pain has no power over you. You
learn to laugh. People do not hurt
you, for you no longer lean on them
or make impossible demands Of them.
Sickness does not frighten you, for
even death can bring you nothing
worse than sleep. Love does not fail

Tree Day.

Once great forests covered this
country, making treasure of
strength and beauty. Now they are
almost gone, because our fathers cut
them ruthlessly. GRd we followed
blindly in their .unthinking way.
We have robbed the children of a
great inheritance. What would the
world be to us without trees? What
will 1t mean to our children? ,
We who love strength and beauty.
why arc we so stupid, blindly de-
stroyiug the things that we love,
bltndly reducing loveliness to ruin.
killing what. we could never create?
The snow@white. silky bark of the
white BIRTH spoke TO us and we
whipped out our knives and girdled
the tree Of its bark just to make
silly things-things that spoke not at
all, either of-Nse or beauty.
The .balSam, murmured to us, scarce
a whisper above its balmy-, breath,
and we seized hatchets and cut off it's
limbs to make beds for an evening;
pulled out our scissors and trimmed
off Its. needles to stuff pillows that
lasted a fortnight. Then went our
way and left it to dwarfed and
matgled unloveliness.
Along the slopes the poplars whis-
pered among themselves of fefresh-
ing showers to come and the threat
ened drought of the valley. and we
cut down the poplars. and the slopes
that they had guarded are now
washed by the rains and torn by the
froSts, and the dread drought has
fallen on the valleys.

Perfection I'M Machine Stitchery
ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Embroidery is expensive. Machine
etitchery is less 80. The perfected
machine does it's work simply and
we'll. That is why so much Of it is
offered to women. 1t is not new. All
makers OF clothes have done much
with It, 1t is only during recent
months, however, that such stitchery
hasptaken on the spirited designs Of
the orient
THE Egyptians were not a prini
tfveirace. Neither were the Persians.
We are beginning to believe they
m ght have been, superior to us. not
only, in. the arts, but in mechanics and
science. Yet both these peoples used
the simplest life scenes as designs
for &c decoration. Later in Cochin
China. in Java and down in Africa
the same thing was done
Some nations. copied birds and flow
ers s II prettier expression OF life
than elephants and horses slaves and
dance girls. Yet the same idea ran
through the work which was to re-
printed into the fabric by the Egyp-
tians, embroidered on it by the Chi
nese and other ancient Pacific peo-
pies, From these sources the people

Inspiration. Some of it is very bad
for"-us. Evidently, we must make

are in machine stitchcry they are not
Qulce so conspicuous as when printed

TO make the design the color of the
surface so il will blend and cause
less CONSERVATION.

stitchery in the soft beige coler of
the kasha cloth. This kind of coat
your may remember, was introduced
last autumn and used as gown or
wrap, as the wearer pleased. 1t de-
lighted the public, for 1t has returned
TO fashion with the first touch of
spring weather. Smart models are

The fabric is more often crepe de

There is no intention OF opening
such coats in a straight line down
the front. They do not take on the
aspects Of redingote. They con-

Ninen de L'Enclos and the Marquis

IN a salon in Paris in the seven

something by a beautiful woman fac

loved that woman madly. And she
hadrtold him that he was her son.
This tragedy. was. experienced by

her son by a lover, and was brought
