THE COCKTAIL HOUR
For Sandral


The room was hot and thick with
smoke,
And filled with a brittle CONVEX
sation,
The newest novel was discussed
And the craziest front-page SEN
sation.
Cocktails sparkled icily, and
A piano tinkled out some ballad:
A blear-eyed blonde sitting near
me
Was eating an avocado salad .
Some dull. dark man with spec
tacles
Said he thought the world was
going to hell
And everyone agreed with MIN,
Except the blonde-I think she
wasn't well;
just when / was becoming bored
And quite bewildered by the
witless din,
a door opened quite quietly,
And without any warning you
walked in. rs-s rer
/ was dazzled by your glory,
And ! felt a rush of cool winds
touch my face.
Blue hills and sunset skies and
fields
Were around me when you came
in that place;
And l was with you far away
In another world with golden
portals. =.
TIL someone broke his glass
near me,
And / was again with stupid
mortals.

corner lots; $500 for ocean front
lots and S100 for the remainder of
the tract. Purchase of the lots, for
the present, will be restricted to
those cottage owners whose sum-

ject. The offer will be open until
January 1, and owners of cottages
will be allowed 80 days, after that
date to remove their buildings from
their present locations. Lots are
limited to one per purchaser. The
