But your eyes were so brightly alert
with
With sheer fun that I flirted a little,
because
You truly were, hard not to Art with.
Then later acquaintance proved this

with—
To get on without you was sorrow

Notes About Women
Sometimes it seems as if people
put their books in book cases with
the definite effort to make the ar
rangement seem as incongruous as
possible. A cook book will be next
to Dante’s Inferno, a book on eti
quette will rub shoulders with a
volume of Bernard Shaw, a book on
the game of bridge will be placed be
tween a Bible and Omar’s Rubaiyat.
Sometimes you know women ar
range their’books according to the
colors of the bindings, or according
to size—regardless of the contents
of the book within. To the real book
lover there is something -a little
painful about this method. It seems
so inconsiderate. Books, like people,
enjoy being with congenial as
sociates. A book of poetry likes to
be in an atmosphere of poets and
historical books like to be in a
sedate atmosphere of other his
torians.
In one Interesting house the plan
of arranging books according to
subjects has been followed out in a
most interesting manner. At one
end of the living room, not far from
the fireplace there is a window, a
window seat and a seat of three
hanging shelves. On these shelves
are placed volumes of poetry that
belong in that house. On the wall
are hung two or three portraits of
poets, and in winter and early
spring white jasmines or narcissus
—beloved of the poets—grow m
water and white pebbles in the
window.
At one end of the spacious kitchen
of this house the housewife has a
small writing table by a sunny win
dow. It is here she attends to house
hold accounts business correspond
ence making of menus, etc. And
over this desk is a shelf of books—*
a half dozen recipe books, a book on
table decorations, one on parties, an
other on the chemistry of food—and
others of allied interest.
Books of fiction are placed to
gether in -built-in bookcases at one
side of the living room, and in the
hall there are shelves containing
but -historical and politics
with favorite portraits of Na
poleon on the wall.
This is really an excellent idea,
in the house where there
are persons of several tastes and
It you love gardening and
you should certainly have
a corner of one of your rooms de

garden books being kept there

If you are musical then
music books and pictures
be placed within your music
or in the coiner of your living
where you keep your piano or
musical instrument. ■

SCHOOL NOTES
THIRD GRADE WITH MISS
SANDERS AS TEACHER
We began this week by receiving
two new pupils and now we have
seventeen girls and fifteen boys,
making a total of thirty-two bright,
wide-awake children. Wo have been
spending a few minutes each day
oh fundamental combinations. We
have two boys, Marvin Sonner and
George Mann, who read a page con
taining * one hundred combinations
of numbers in two minutes. They
insist that they can learn them so
well that by next week they will
read them in half the time now-re
quired. All are trying and several
are able to read them in three min
utes. We have been doing some
work in dramatization and the chil
dren* as a whole love this work. In
fact they enjoy it so much that they
want to dramatize everything they
read. We have invited the second
grade to accompany us on a hike
to the coufitry, planning to go some
afternoon next week, £ e are study
ing autumn fruits an plants and
the children are looking < forward to
finding the bright autumn leaves,
persimmons, haws, nuts, pine cones
and different sized acorns.

Beginners under Mrs. Watt have

nftiseular arm movement and simple
lessons in arithmetic. Their physical

every child being present every day
for the past week. The children of
Second Grade A were delighted with
the dramatization of a story “Moth
er Mouse and Little Mouse, »» in the
Elsor Reader. The parts were taken
by Evelyn McKibben as U Mother”
and J. P. Lane as Little Mouse.”
Second Grade B is making an at

weeds in lower end of our yard.
Our building is all new inside as the
