where people have bought spectacles
from peddlers, not realizing that it
requires a highly trained specialist
to prescribe the proper glasses. The
worst of it is that, in addition to
wasting their money, many of them
are running good eyes by straining
them through using unsuitable

Sonnet

There have been golden moments in my life,
Moments of high achievement and success
Once when mailed letter for my wife,
Having retained it but day less;
Once when l changed the spelling in a proof,
Then showed, beyond the shadow of doubt,
To the vexed author, who had raised the roof,
That l had known just what l about.
There have been moments when felt the thrill
Of having done the right, the fitting thing;
But one alone has power to warm still
got my statement at the bank last spring,
And / compared there is triumph's
height
With my own stubs, and found had been right

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IL, 1924.
DO YOU REMEMBER?.

Do you remember, as little lad,
The rapture of gay Christmases you had?
How high your heart beat, in the chilly dawn,
Wondering if Santa Claus had come and gone!
gray haired man once told me, while he smiled:
Of red topped boots he pranced in, child,
And to this day, when Christmas bells he hears,
Those red-topped boots come tripping down the
years.
Do you remember, hidden in some chest,
The doll that the first loved, and the best?
However battered, soed and old it is,
To you it's dear with childish memories.
While all the windows shine, and candles glow,
How little hearts take hope, they cannot know
When disappointment waits, and bitter tears;
They'll carry those with them through the
years.
Do you remember what it meant to you
When faith was answered, and your hopes came
true?
So many little hope in December
Will you-remember?
