RED GERANIUMS.
Life did not bring me silken gowns
Nor jewels for my hair,
Nor sight of gabled, foreign towns
In distant countries fair,
But I can glimpse, beyond my pane,
a green and friendly hill,
And red geraniums aflame upon my
window -sill.
The brambled cares of every day,
The tiny, humdrum things,
May bind niy feet when they would
stray,
But still my heart has wings,
While red geraniums are bloomed
against my window -glass,
And low above my green -sweet hill
the gypsy wind -clouds pass.
And if my dreaming ne'er come true,
The brightest and the best,
But leave me lone my journey
through,
P11 set my heart at rest,
And thank Thee, God, for home -sweet
things, a green and friendly hill,
And red geraniur_!s aflame upon my
window -sill.
—Martha Haskell Clark.

FIFTEEN FOR DINNER.
My neighbor was amazed when I
spoke of having fourteen or fifteen for
dinner on Sundays. And she was al-
most speechless when I told her I'
enjoyed it We live on a 200 -acre
farm and I could not imagine why I
should not invite my friends out from
town to spend the day without horri-
fying my neighbors.
"How can you enjoy their company
after getting the dinner, besides doing
all your other work, and then have
the great stack of dishes waiting for
you after they leave?"
I laughed heartily. "I am not sur-
prised you were horrified. My friends
always like to enjoy my company, so
they bring the dinner, or a goodly por-
tion of it "
