♦ POEM. f
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit frfom pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be,
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced or cried aloud;
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms tout the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the
scroll,
I am the master of my Fate,
I ame the captain of my Soul.
—Henley.

1 BOUGHT FOR THE DAY.
To not, then, stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do;
Fortune is a lazy goddess—
She will never come to you.
Go and toil in any vineyard,
Do not fear to do or dare;
If you want a field of labor.
You can find it anywhere.

SOME GIRLS DON’T
THINK ABOUT THIS
When you tenderly peel the wrap
pings of tissue away from a new frock
just home from the little shop, do you
ever visualize the last girl face that
bent over it when it was folded id
away from the light when it started to
you?
When you draw it out and spread its
froth and shimmer out to the light be
tween your fingers are there ever, for
you, lingering ghosts of the patient
girl-fingers that deftly stitched upon it
under night lights so that you might
have it in time Perhaps they were
just as white a pair hands as yours,
and sweeter in shape. Who can tell .’
Just four fingers and a rlever thumb
I like yours—and thrilling to the toucn
of satin and chiffon just as yours do.
Spread out your hand—and think
about it.

tails—and catching pink rosebuds,

their hearts, with liny stitches thou-

sands of them—her fingres trembled In
haste and her heart fluttterea pain
fully. For Mademoiselle wanted her
frock for a dance tonight, the madame
bad said. And the gown, passing from
girl to girl, arrived at last to little
Tired Shoulders, with the deft fingers
for finishing. And her eyes shone and
half shut with the beauty of the stuff
under her hands.
And girl-eyes and girl-fingers and
Igirl-heart drew a bit of second-hand
thrill out of a frugal draught of sec
ond-hand joy—seeing in fancy the
lucky girl who was to wear the little
dream dress on her way to her prec
ious dance.
The brown box that comes to you
holds not only a frock and pink and
white tissue paper! About it cling
countless lovely ghosts—girl hands
that have fashioned and caressed it; a
shimmer that may be the light of girls’
eves that have labored and beamed up
on it; its rustle, the faint repetition of
some beating heart that bent above it.
A box of dreams it is—from “Judy
O Grady” to the “Colonel’s Lady.”
And. mind you, remember it. Min i
you remember that all the joy some
girls ever have is "second-hand!”
