YOUNG FELLOW MY LAD
Where are you going Young Fellow
My Lad,
“On this glittering morn of May?”
“I’m going to join the colors, Dad;
They’re looking for men they say.”
“But you’re only a boy, Young Fellow
My Lad,
You aren’t obliged to go.”
“I’m seventeen and a quarter, Dad;
And ever so strong you know.”
“So you’re off to France, Young Fel
low My Lad,
And you’re looking so fit and
bright.”
“‘l’m terribly sorry to leave you, Dad,
But I feel that I’m doing right.”

Fellow My Lad,
You’re all my life you know.”
■“Don’t wory, I’ll soon be back, dear
Dad,
And I’m awfully proud to go.”
—Robert W. Service.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Silently, one by one, in the infinite
meadows of heaven
Blossomed the lovely stars, the for
get-me-nots of the angels.

great their imperfections, is the sweet

A ST. PATRICK’S PARTY
Even during war times we enjoy a
simple home entertainment, and pro
vided we do not spend lavishly or
serve p rofusely, there can be no harm
in such celebrations.
Saint Patrick is an Irish Saint, and
the custom of honoring his birthday
comes to us through Ireland. Conse
quently, the “Emerald Isle” calls for
green colors at such a time. Also, in
decoration, we use the flower of Ire
land—the shamrock. The shamrock
is a green leaf resembling our three
leafed clover. It grows only in Ire
land, so of course shamrock must be
used on Irish festival days.
Send out your invitations written
on Green shamrock leaves, cut from
green cardboard. Or use white paper
