IN A LITTLE WHILE
A little while the tears and laughter,
The myrtle and the rose
A little while, and what comes after
No man knows.
An hour to sing, to love and linger,
Then lutanist and lutte
Shall fall on silence, song and singer
Both be mute
Our gods from our hearts we fashion
Exalt our baffled lives,
And dream their bloom and passion
Still survives
But when we're done with mirth and weeping,
With willow and with rose,
Shall Death take Life into his keeping?
No man knows.
What heart hath not through twilight places,
Sought for it's dead again,
To gid with love their pallid faces
Sought in vain.
Still mounts the dream on shining pinion
Still broods the dull distrust
Which shall have ultimate dominion,
Dream, dust?
A little while with grief and laughter,
And then the day shall close; i.
The shadows gather O.. What comes after
No man knows!

THIS PLAN WILL HELP
YOU TO MAKE MONEY

Start the new year armed with a
well-planned budget which has been
drawn up to include all the neces-
stiles and some of the desirable pur-
chases your family hopes to make
within the expected income for 1928.
Food, housing, clothing and running
expenses will be among the essen
tials. Personal expenses for each
member of the family must be al
lowed, and fixed expenses such as
insurance premiums or taxes must
be met. More or less problematical
is the question of new furnishings
or equipment, or the amount that
must go to doctors and dentists, and
consequently the amount that can be
saved. A good budget is one that
takes all these points into consider
alton and keep the definitely known
expenses we'll within the anticipated
income, leaving a fair-sized margin
for the uncertain items and for en-
ergences. After making the budget
on a yearly basis, it is helpful to
plan for each month separately and
in advance, so that as expenditures
are made they can be compared with
the original estimate in each cate
CORY. Sometimes it becomes evident
that a larger allotment must be
made in one field, or that less would
do in another, and corresponding
changes can be made in the yearly
and monthly plans.

Famous Artist Depicts Coolidge
As ''HunGrs, Kindly, ThOughttuL''

Howard Chandler ChriSty, inter-
nationally famous artist, illustrator,
and portrait painter, disagrees with
those who picture President Cool
kdge as "the grim, silent man Of the
White House."
The President, reputed to be
taciturn and uncommunicative, has
even been described as cool and I'M
approachable. That this impression
of Mr.. Coolidge has gained wide
currency is indicated by the frequent
newspaper references to "Silent
CAL" and waggish comparisons of
the executive to an iceberg and
other objects descriptive of frigidity
and immobility.
eff the impression prevails that
President Coolidge is cold, unap-
proachable, silent and lacking in
human qualities" declares Mr..
Christy, who was a guest at the
White House for several weeks
while painting a portrait of the
President and Mrs. Coolidge, "then
I should say that the President is
an excellent actor"
Mr.. Christy was seated in his
beautiful New York studio where
such celebrities as Col. George Har-
Hey, former Ambassador to Eng
land, VIII Hays, Gar of the Mo-
ton picture industry, Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, Senator Cole
man Du Pont, and others, have sat
for portraits. Beside him stood his
dazzling wife, the famous "Christy
Girl" of thousand magazine covers
and illustrations.
aFrom the viewpoint of a portrait
painter, Just what impression did
you form of Coolidge, the mani"
urged the interviewer.
@He is one of the most human
men I ever met" replied the artist,
EHe is really a most interesting con-
Eersationalist. He is extremely
thoughtful of others. Il could relate
q dozen incidents illustrative of his
Bolicitude for others, his humanness
and kindness. Being very human
himself, he likes to make human
contacts.

mapproachable to politicians who
come bearing gifts in one hand and
ayes which they want to grind in
tho other, but he is an entirely diff
darent man when with his family
