den under a chaos of empty cologne
bottles.
Spain: ‘Say, the {esthetic beauties
of Hancock Avenue, once the abode of
Southern aristocracy, but now the place
where Nippers, Jews and Students make
night and day hideous with their pres
ence, has at last been shocked beyond
patience by a sipn whose hold and
strange device glares at passers by, like
Freshmen stare at maids of Lucy Cobh.”

"LOVE FINDS A WAY”
The air with fragrance rare is laden,
Earth and sky seem full of joy,
In a nook with ivy shaded
Sit a youth and maiden coy.
Still be lacks the strength to tell her
All his heart would tnadly say,
Hut the Fates have smiled upon Idm,
As of yore, “Love finds a way.”
For the maiden drops a flower,
And their hands upon it meet,
And the touch gives him the courage
| To tell her the story sweet.
And she listens, blushing softly
At his words with passion swayed.
Then she breathes the whispered an
•wer
That a happy man has made.
So from the doubts and disappoint
ments,
Changing darkest night to day,
Springs the reign of jov and gladness,
Love again, has found a way.
