A Column Prepared Especially for Women—
But Not Forbidden to Men
What seems to grow fairer to me
as life goes by is the love and grace
and tenderness of it; not its wit and
cleverness and grandeur of know-
ledge, but just the laughter of little
children, and the friendship of friends
• and the cosy talk by the fireside
and the sight of eloeters and the
wound of music. -- John Richard

stole five 350 American bills from

Lengthen night and shorten day!

Blossom where the rose ;should grow;

Ushers in a drearier day.

I LOVE A LITTLE HOME
I love a little home where rose;,
blow,
And mignonette and honeysuckle
grow,
Where bees sip nectar sweet, and
carolling
The birds in leafy branches sing.
I love a little hone where lovolights
glow ,
Where childish footsteps patter to
and fro,
Where I may sit and rest by firelit
hearth
And thank God for the dearest place
on earth.
I love a little home where there is
cheer,
Where smiling faces chase away the
tear,
Where never harshness enters, but
where love serene, sublime,
]Makes home a part of Heaven, a
Place that is divine. --Anon.

THE FAIRY COBBLER
In the silver green of - the half -ripe
corn,
Where the poppies dreaming lie,
And the spider weaves from his silk-
en thread
A net for the careless fly;
On a toadstool brown sits a wee old
elan,
With eyes of the sky's own blue,
He is clad in a coat of field -mouse
skin,
And he cobbles a fairy's shoe,
Of cornflower petals the shoes are
made,
And sewn with a cobweb thread,
The dew -drop buckles he finds at
dawn,
Where they spangle the poppies
red, '
He plies his trade from the peep of
• day,
Through the golden hours of noon,
And the evening star from the dark-
ening sky
Finds him cobbling fairy slroon.

HAPPINESS
Happiness is like a crystal,
Fair and exquisite and clear;
Broken in a million pieces,
Scattered far and near.
Now and then along life's pathway,
Le, soma shining fragments fall,
But there are so many pieces,
No one ever finds them all.
You may find a bit of beauty,
Or an honest share of wealth,
While another just beside you
Gathers honour, love or health.
Vain to cheese or grasp unduly,
Broken is the perfect ball,
And there are so many pieces,.
No one ever finds then all.
Yet the wise, as on they journey,
Treasure every fragment clear;
Fit them as they may together,
Imaging the shattered sphere.
Learning ever to be thankful,
Though their share of it be small,
For it has so many pieces,•
No one ever finds them all.

The blue smoke of bonfires goes
drifting on the breeze.
Down along the roadway smeli voic

Often when 'I pass them as I hurry

Picking up the golden leaves blown
around my feet,
Running, laughing, singing, pretend-

Buried in the autumn leaves I see a
little head,
I should love to join them, and gath-
er leaves ngain
To make an autumn bonfire that
smolders in tha rain,
Or play about that carpet of yellow,
red and brown,
Oh! to be a child again when leaves
come tumbling down.
In the dun November days when all
the trees are bare,
Waiting for their winter coat, then
I shall sometimes hear
A little voice still mocking me—
AhI but they have gone

OCTOBER
I would know it is Oetabker,
By the blueness of the sky;
By the fleecy clouds that loiter;
By the maple keys that 'fly
On light, gauzy wings before me,
As I tread the golden ways,
Drinking in sublimest beauty,
Of these Indian Summer days.
it is folly to be hurried
'In these days of languid peace:
For all Nature now is'resting-.
Why should man find no release?
Thus, I pause a while to gather
Scarlet leaves, beneath a tree,
Where they die in crimson splendor
Understanding eyes, to see.
Yes, I know it is October,
For the chestnut burrs are. down:
Laughing at me from the pavement,
Shine the auburn nuts xed,brown
Till I feel the thrill of childhood,
As 3 touch, in Autumn days,
Maple leaves, and nut -brown chest:
nuts,
While the winter frost delays,
Could I choose a place to wander?
I would take the amber fields;
And would ask for nothing lovelier
Than October's banquet yields:
Whore a shadowed river, winding,
Mirrors trees of brilliant hue,
Flaunting all their gorgeous colors
'Neath a sky of densest blue.
Where the hill's encircling pageant
Lifts my eyes above the sod,
I can find in their great beauty
Every attribute of God.
As tho fires of Autumn, burning,
Send their incense to the skies,
There I kneel to the Creator,
As the Autumn slowly dies.

THE DAY
I've made the porridge, and wiped
things clean,
And got Dick off by eight -fifteen
And mixed the pudding, and darned
Bob's shirt,
And mended the hole in Joan's very
best skirt,
And ordered the meat for tomer+
row's stew,
(And baby threw overboard one best
shoe),
And Dick's tome back with one of
his colds,
And the laundered tablecloth's torn
in the folds,
And a jug fell out of Elizaboth's
hand
And broke a bowl and my teapot
stand
And now, as I set my foo t on the
stairs,
I remember this morning, I said no
prayers.
--- — I'm a wicked woman, 0 Lord
I know,
But my feet are so tired they'll
hardly go,
And I haven't a thought in the
whole of my bead --
Could yea take the day as a prayee

YOUNG DEER. INVADES GODERe
ICl/ CITIZEN'S KITCHEN
Woman Faints At Sight of
Frightened Animal
Friday night a young deer, one
of this season's fawns, emerged from'
the valley of the Maitland River, ob-
viously pursued by dcgs and was
given a merry chase through the
streets and back yards of the town
by several young men. I1 ran into
the summer kitchen of an East street'
home, which had that day been
ited by deeth and where friends and
neighbors were sitting up late.
Hearing a commotion in the sum-
mer kitchen, a door was opened anti
the light turned on. So great was
the shock from the sight of viewing
the scared deer tinder such unusual'
circumstances, that one lady fainted.
Max Cromier first came across> the
deer on South street. He nearly bit
it with his car. He applied his
brakes and jumped from his ear
when it got up and scurried away.
Attracted by the lights of a car oc-
cupied by Bill Ross and Mel. Craigie
on Newgate street, the deer loomed
up directly in front of them. They
jumped out and gave chase, but
were left far behind in the fence
hurdling that followed.
Tho deer are said to be quite nue
merous in Oolbourne Township.
