While o’er me slowly steals a trance. For Like the tender dream of an onl romance. For memory sleeps in each lacy fold And the slender sticks of ivory and gold. As I gently open each part anew, Long lost faces are looking through And I seem to sense a sad reproof That I have forsaken and kept aloof From old sweet ties these many years So full of life’s changes, of laugh¬ ter and tears. Old songs, old dreams, old perfumes are there, That have lain asleep since youth timd rare, Slipped softly by, on swift-shod feet, When hearts were wont to laugh and greet Each c day with" happy, joyous song, The sunlit days that were ne’er too long. You and I were pals, old fan, for true, Where I went, there you always went toe. Ah! Let’s reminesce, but never grow sad, O’er the happy times that both of us had. * ......■ ■ I’m sure you remember—you could¬ n’t forget— The night we stepped the minuet. Such stately Beaux! With grace so rare; And beautiful girls with powdered hair. Just think of those Easter Ger¬ mans—do! The dainty favors that you shared too. The times at the University, Ah! Those were great days for you and me. There were brown eyes, grey eyes, eyes of blue, That looked over the lacy folds of you, You heard all the vows, both fool¬ ish and wise. You heard all the truths, you heard all the lies. You hold all the secrets—the things never told, The joys we tasted, in the glad -days of old. .cross the years like a mellow re¬ frain ,L ifhen the bow is drawn over the strings again, You Bring to me from the long ago, Hopes and dreams that have long lain low. With tender hands I fold you to rest In your odorous nook in the old cedar chest. —L. LEWIS. The above beautiful composition is the work of a gifted Griffin WO man.

S. $65,000,000 IN WAR DAMAGES FROM GERMANY Washington, Sept. 22.—Awards to¬ talling more than $65,000,000, a sum which exceeds the aggregate of all previous awards and includes approxi¬ mately $34,700,000 to sixty-four and $24,300,000 to the Veterans’ Bureau, have been handed down by the Amer - 1 ican-German War Claims Gommis sion. The commission also ruled that twelve American life insurance com¬ panies could not hold Germany re¬ sponsible for losses incurred on 18 policies insuring 11 persons killed in the Lusitania disaster. Judge Edwin B. Parker, umpire of the commission, handed down the de¬ cision in the Lusitania case after the commissioners for the respective countries were unable to agree. The two commissioners, however, handed down 66 awards in individual claims of various kinds, totalling $6,271,- 434.81. The awards to the Veterans’ Bu¬ reau and the 61 insurance companies were for damages sustained by Amer¬ ican insurers as a result of losses on hulls and cargoes due to war opera¬ tions. In the Lusitania award Judge Par¬ ker said he dismissed the claims against Germany for the reason that “the losses on which these claims are based are not in legal contemplation attributable to Germany’s act as a proximate cause.” The act of Germany,” Judge Par¬ ker added, “instriking down an in¬ dividual did not in legal contempla¬ tion proximately result in damage to all of these who had contract rela¬ tions, direct or remote, with that in¬ dividual, which may have been af¬ fected by his death.” Serious Situation If you take away the hobbies some people ride, they would be as complete¬ ly lost as if they were in a wilderness far removed from habitation.—Hunts¬ ville Star.

LARGE HATS MAKE A DENT IN THE MODE Larger hats, especially in felt with velvet trimming, are making quite an impression on the mode, declares the Dry Goods Economist. Besets axe progressing rather slowly, although recent importations that will be wide iy copied include the tarn type. Off the face models are featured in prac¬ tically all lines to the extent that they are almost certain to go over with success. They offer an agree¬ able change from the small rolled brim model.

PICKERING COMPANY 117 SOUTH HILL STREET V With Women Of Today For five faithful years Miss Emma Dot Partridge, of Topeka, has been executive secretary of the Kansas State Bankers’ association, When she offered her resignation recently to go to New York to become secre¬ tary of the National Federation of - Business and Professional Women’s Clubs the Bankers' association would not permit her to resign. Instead it insisted on granting her an indefinite leave of absence in the hope that she would return eventually. The National Federation of Busi¬ ness and Professional Women’s Clubs has a membership of nearly forty thousand women, Miss Partridge helped organize the Topeka Business and Professional Women’s Club, and feels she will be carrying on this in her new position. She is at present serving her second term as president of the Kansas Federation of Business Women’s Clubs, but will be succeeded in that office by Mrs. Pearl Kinman, of Mankato, who will have the title of acting president. She also organized the Kansas Asso¬ ciation of Bank Women. Miss Partridge is a graduate of Washington College, where she won high honors. A party of naturalists under the leadership of Dr. William Beebe re¬ cently returned from a five months’ research expedition in British Guiana. There were three women in the party: Miss Isabel Cooper, an artist; Miss Ruth Rose, statistician, and Mrs. Tee-Van, assistant scientific ar¬ tist. The women of the party cap tured a boa constrictor eight feet long. Knickerbockers, kissing in public and one-piece bathing suits have been made illegal in a Louisiana dis¬ trict.
