DOT NIGHT

NOOD NlGHTi Beneath starry skies, in stately mansion and
humble cottage, in a tiny village and in q mighty metrop-
~ oils, these words are being softly spoken in lingering,
tender whispers that hold in them the sorrow of parting and the
eternal hope of an even more marvellous tomorrow, a tomorrow
that will not be married by the fever of farewell.
Good Night At the end Of a day Of toll, Of ever increasing
care and perplexity, there il a thought Of peace and rest and
surcease from the weary round when we speak those words to
those about Us. Good Night! The gateway to happy dreams
and a glad tomorrow. The baby s~unbering in its cradle smiles
as mother gently kisses its rosebud mouth and whispers her
treasure 20 rest.
To Beauty saying Good Night" to her Beloved. there j. no
sweeter, sadder moment than that when he j. about to leave
her. Not for very long, Of course, but somehow there il a
poignancy in parting that seems for a moment to blot out her
world of happiness. Perhaps Beauty has been capricious, has
spoken words of discomfort or bitterness. But at the first whis-
pered words of farewell, she knows that there can be no other
but her Beloved, no thrill like the sound Of his voice whispering
Good Might into the dusky forest Of her hair, while all around
the world il hushed. Love the achemist has made those two
words a magic talsman that changes heartache to happiness, that
makes the night brighter than day.
