K. Uoodale on De Kaib atreet, in celebration of the fifth birthday of their little aon, Abbott. The manly little boys and dainty little glrla with their imrfeu played out on the lawn for a time, but an air of eage" anticipation waa quite noticeable. The houae held a great attraction and the front door was the gatew*ky to a land that meant more to them than "green fields and ever - blooming flower#," and they cast long and lingering glances toward* that land with its ooVeted poaaeaaiona, and when told to fall iuto line they quickly responded.

Pink ribbona hung gracefully from the chandelier to the four ooruera of the table, and the birth day cake had five pink tapera on the anowy Iced aurface, and the Ices and candlea were all In the aame rose hue.. A dainty souvenir pack age of bon bona tied with pink ribbon marked each place. The little maids with their white frocks and bright ribbona formed a border of plnka, daisies and rose buds, as dainty and pretty as the flowers that -deeked the ? t?U>|e, ? while ? the sturdy little lads In their "best bib and tucker had already mastered th art of gallantry sufficiently to "line up" behind this border of feminine lovliness. . It was a large and beautiful par ty, and will ever hold its place a mong the rosetinted dreams of happy childhood. Childhood! That enchanting time o? flowery - fring ed walks, rippling fountains and crystal lakes, where the splcey per fumes of starry jui-slmlno lingers and where innocence is enthroned Into that land of unforgetfulness, this pretty rose liued pnrty has been stored away. ? * * 'Saddle and Paddle Club.

While we do not want1 to get Sara into trouble, , we will just say that it was written during study hours in school, and has not been changed. Now, we wouldn't tell this, but it is vaca tion and by next season everything will be forgiven and forgotten: There are many stories tojd Of men strong and bold, Who died to save persons they held dear, But there's another story to be told Not of the glorious dayg of old, But of men who lived, at the time we lived, Who died without a fear. It was a cold and moonlesg night, But the stars were shining bright. When that' beautifui ship Titanic Struck on the iceberg big and black Floating onward in the Atlantic. ' y ' i The lifeboats could not hold all on II ? board, So fathers and husbands had to * stay, While the sailors rowed away, With the loved ones they held dear; ' They could only watch them slowly disappear. , On the starlit waters of the Atlantic Went the lifeboats from the wreck pf the Titanic And the loved ones they were losing On the starlit waters of the Atlantic The ship Carpathla heard of the di saster to the Titanic, And to help them was coming at full speed. Before the Carpathla came They heard, they heard the strain f Nearer my Ood to Thee, nd- many a prayer was said For the dying and the dead, As they went drifting on the sea. Oh, God protect the widows, And the fatherless children too Oh, God protect the survivors, Oh, God protect the crew, Oh, God bless the brave men, The men without a fear Who went down with the Titanic To save those whom they held dear.
