IN THE COMPARATIVE

Jim Mclean was the village Smith;
Little the cash that he started with,
The forge he used and the coal that
fed it
The shoes and nails obtained on credit
But jim said "Reckon I'll worry
through
For all the work that l get to do
| aim to do-an' that amt bluff
A leetle better than Good enough!"
Now jim was not of the oily style
That's always wearing a beaming
Some people called him "a mite too
pert"
And jim, at seasons, was brusk and
curt;
But his patrons stuck, and the new
They said, "He's cocky, but just the
same
The jobs that he does are staunch and
tough,
A leetle better than Good enough"
The village now is roaring town
Which grew and won to its high re-
noWn
Because of the factory spreading out
A hundred acres, or thereabout.
And the tools and articles fashioned
there
Have made Jim into a millionaire,
For Jim's jobs are-with no bunk or
CUFF
A leetle better than Good enough"
That "Leetle better" is such a lot!
In any business, no matter what
For "Good enough" be it understood,
Is seldom enough and rarely Good
The bridge or the house or the tool
you make
Is Good enough-till it comes to break
And then you wish you had wrought
your stuff
A leetle better than Good enough"

her Interpretation of "Giun-se al Fin

achievements of the splendid pro-
gram. These arias were sung in

Mrs. Dovie Adams Welsh is the
possessor of sweet soprano voice OF

personality and is clever actress.
She will measure up with the great

The Venetian Baracolfe" by God
ard and "Cabzenetta" by Eduard
Schutt were the two piano selections
of Miss Leah Mae Minor. The former
was rendered with such grace as to
arouse the admiration and apprecia-
ton of the technique of this wonder
full young artist. The pianissimo ef-
feet of the Baracolle as deftly played
by Miss Minor brought out all the fine
points of this difficult piece Of music.
One could almost hear the plaintive
voices of the Italian boatmen in their
imagination. "CanZonetta" was
equally well rendered.
Miss Florence Robinson, accompan-
list, contributed not little to the sue
cess of the program. Her position is
one of exaction, and she was equal to
the difficult task. Miss Robinson
plays well, and is capable musician.
The artists were enthusiastically

vERSESON RUGS
Of ANCIENT
DAYS FINE
Quotations From the Persian
Poets Mostly Woven Into
Beautiful Fabric

Even though everybody acknowl-
edges the beauty Of Oriental rugs,
to the novice and impractical eye
there is q sameness in. the beauti-
full Eastern weave. At superb
cial glance, one does not perceive
their artistical merit, but on
further Study no one can fail to ap-
preciate the marvellous blending Of
colors and the exquisite designs.
Figures Of man or animal are
never to be found on Turkish rugs,
the Turks being Sunneh Mahome-
tans, and the teachings Of the
Koran forbids this for fear it might
lead to idolatry. On the other
hand, the Persians, being Sheed
Mahometans, weave. animals, birds,
and also human figures into their
rugs and carpets.
There is proof positive that this
custom Of weaving human figures
and animals has peen prehistoric
from the time Of NIaDylonia, whose
people were skillful in weaving all
sorts of animals, such as sphyx,
dragons, lions, and griffins, as well
as whole groups OF human figures
into their textiles. The pre-emi-
hence of the ancient Babylonian
carpet WeaV0rS does not appear TO
have been lost by their successors.
Genuine Persian carpets are as
eagerly sought as they were when
ancient Babylon was in it's glory.
Now and then choice specimens
Of rugs with turjiyat and roubiyat
poems and quotations., taken from
the writings of famous Persian
poets, such as Saadi, Ferdouzi and
Hafiz. are found; also from the
Koran.
II the possessors of some Of the
rare pieces that are sold In this
country knew the meaning of the
inscriptions woven in their rugs,
the knowledge would add charm
and interest which would make
them more valuable than the
harmonious >-colors so beautifully
blended which at first compels adj
miration.
The following copies Of inscrip-
lions on rugs will give some idea
of the beauty and flowery language
used by the Persian poets. The
following inscriptions are from a
Herman rug that may. have
adorned the harem Of a. khan in
old Persia: How cheerfully and
confusedly the nightingale sang to
the rose, welcome thee, this
bright morn. Be merciful and gaze
down. from your balcony to de-
