THE MERCER CLUSTER
December 16,1921
BESSIE TIFT NEWS
On last Saturday evening the
Kappa Deltas assembled in chapel
visibly excited, over what the draw
ing of the curtains would disclose.
The-faculty, too, responded en masse
to the lovely invitations they re
ceived.
The play presented was “Little
Italy,” : a . one-act tragedy. Those
taking part were Misses Gertrude
Hillis, Charlotte, Jelks, ■ Miriam Mc
Call and Olive Chavous.
Miss Hillis. was entrancing as an
Italian woman pining for her lost
lover and native land. As a street
singer, Misk Jelks was charming.
None could have been more 'lovely
than Miss’ Miriam McCall ’^s the lit
tle daughter.. Miss Olive, Chavous
was altogether splendid in her role
as "a fat Italian baker, of forty.”
The lovely music and clever light
ing udded greatly to the beauty of
the play.
This is the first tragedy the' society
has presented in several years. We
are glad thpt it was in the hands of
such an able director, Miss Ina Led
ford. The spectators are asking that
“Ilia” give us another soon.
For the past week the vesper ser
vice hour has been, jriven over to
special, mission study. There have
been three classes. In Mrs. J. H.
Foster’s class "Soul Winning” was
.the subject and Dr. P. E. Burrough s
book, “Winning to Christ.” Miss Ena
Bridges’ subject was “The Near East”
and Mrs'. John R. Rust's “Christian
Americanization,” by Brooks. Thpy
proved very interesting as well as
profitable.

A TRIBUTE TO NIGHT ;
John Milton Samples
. -Sweet' star-eyed night
With soft moonlight,
With curtained mantle of bliss,
A tribute, to you,
Fair goddess true,
A tribute true and a kiss.
Shielding my form
From tempest and storm
And gaze of the'critical eye;
You’ve given me joy
. With never alloy
In the happy days gone by.
’Neath 1 pale moonbeam
•And soft star gleam
I’ve repaired at close of day
With a maiden fair
With glorious hair
As sweet as flowers in May.
Her heavenly eyes
Outsparkled the skies
When never a cloud is seen
With heart as gay .
As her winsome way,
Of women the very queen.

AN EPISODE OF LOVE
Dearest, most darling of girls, rose
bud of my, heart and cream of
mine eyes:
My little dream girl, how, I would
like to hold you in my arms tonight
and - press my lips against those
ruby, Cupid bows of yours.
I long for you every hour of the
day. 1 feel as though your spirit is
always with me and I lean on it for
support in all my undertakings.
Your smiling face is an inspira
tion to me at all times, and your
voice is like the chimes of Normandy
in my ears. Your smiles are like the
sun that shines in Flanders’ fields in
spring.
Dearest love, I. cannot live with
out you. Life would be as barren as
the , desolate httls » of ’ the Arctic,
Dreary were the days before 1 met
you. Sunshinp of my life and rose of
Nippon, I adore you.
I fall at your shrine and worship
you. There is not a thing I would not
go. through to reach you. Every
time I think of your Smiling face
the gates . of paradise are lost hi
oblivion. There is not one, O Rose
of the moon, that could make your
place .in my heart. The days of the.
cave men. are over, If they were not
it would simply be a survival of the
fittest and I would be compelled to
steal you away. As it is, we will
have to use diplomacy.
Sweetheart; win yon loan pie
