NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
THE JOY OF PRETENSE
Let’s dream like a child in its playing,
Let’a make us a sky and a sea.
Let’s change the things ’round us by
saying
They’re things as we wish them to be.
And if there’s sadness or sorrow,
Let’s dream till we charm it away.
Let’s learn from the children and
borrow
A saying from childhood. "Let’s
play."
Let’s play that the world’s full of
beauty;
Let’s play that there are roses in
bloom;
Let’s play there is pleasure in duty,
And light where we thought there
was gloom;
Let’s play that the heart with its
sorrow,
la bidden be joyous and glad;
Let’s play that we’ll find on the
morrow,
The joys that we never had.
Let’s play we have done with re
pinning;
Let’s play that the sunlight is shin
ing
To glad the green slopes of the hill;
Let’s play there are birds blithely
singing
Their song* of delight on the air;
Let’s play that the world’s full of
shining,
Let’s play there is love everywhere.
