THE GARDEN AT TRoUTBEcK

In the grace Of twilight. what outer
fate
Can pass this portal, this garden gate?
All the world is rent with doom.
But here these furies find no room;
Here all is quiet; all is peace,
Roses and lilies, my golden fleece.
But the rose whispers: "Why do you
stay
When my soft petals fly awayf"
The lily says: Dreamer of dreams.
Why do you Iinger beside these
streams?"
The larkspur says: "I love a man.
But that was when the red blood ran"
The foxglove cries: "Why stand and
wait,
When every moment is rich with
fate?"
The hollyhock with pride aglow
Cries, Soldier Of peace, I bid Won

q garden Of dreams, is there no peace
Even in your own soft release?
Must the blind fury Of worlds al war
Dim the light of your garden star?
Is there no haven hcrizon-free
From the dark vision Of misery?

Jesse Harris, charged with breaking
into tailorshop at 1929 Grand Boule-

he had not touched his whislry-while
Harris testified that he had not touch
ed the clothes, but had taken the old
bond" whisky.

q popular subject Of legends. The
PhOenecian myth OF creation Is found
IN the story Of Pygmalian and Gala

alton Of woman, according to Hesiod,
was that zens, as a cruel jest, ordered
Vulcan to make woman out Of clay,
and then induced the various gods and
goddesses to invest the clay doll with
al their worst qualities. the result
being a lovely thing, with a witchery
OF mien, refined craft, eager passion,
love OF dress, treacherous manners
and shameless mind. The Scandina-
Tians say that as Odin, VIII and We,
the three sons Of Dor. were walking
along the sea beach, they found two
sticks of wood. one of ash and one Of
elm. Sitting down, the gods shaped
man and woman out Of these sticks,
whiting the woman from the elm and
calling her ETHia- One Of the strangest
