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. # * ♦ X MISS MARY LINGO IS HOSTESS AT PROM PARTY Miss Mary Alice Lingo entertained delightfully with a leap year prom party at her home on Brannen avenue, Friday evening.

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. *.

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!” *♦ » • 0. E. S.
