SUNDAY, JUNE 18, 1916 ♦ SOCIETY NEWS ; ♦ JOY AND LOVE ♦ Young Joy and Love at morn set sail On great Life’s holiday; Youg Joy, that started with a smile. Grew weary in a little while. But Love went all the way. Joy slept and dreamed that life might be A thing of sun and dew; But Love toiled on while other slept, His midnight ward and visit kept, And made his vision true. Young Joy grew weary at the helm. And laid him down to die; Love found the North star’s steady light, And steered his vessel through the night, To ports of victory. ■—By Will Allen Dromgoole, in The Nashville Banner. • « » « TOLER-HARDEN INVI- TATIONS ARE ISSUED.
