son GY Bellefonte, Pa., April 22, 1910. EPOCHS. Oh, drink to the infant blossom That laughs in the lap of Spring— To the newborn rose, Ere a petal knows The touch of an unclean thing! For love is like as a flower, And life as an angel song In the rifting gray Of what vernal day When hope in the heart is strong. A toast to the sun-glad Summer, That trips to a zephyr's tune— To the fair, young lay Of the yesterday, Full-blown on the breast of June! A brimming cup to the season Of infinite afterglows, When the stress of strife Is apart from life, And love is a thornless rose! A health to the stirruped Autumn, Awaiting to hear the call Of the plaietive note That a feathered throat Shall trill when the last leaves fall! 1 left my glass to the crimson, And sip its depth to the gold, For there's something grand In a love life-spanned, That mellows as Time grows old. And here's to the chill December, Its winds and its tombs of snow— To the one who weeps Where a still heart sleeps, To the lone soul left to woe! There's untold sweet in the budding; There's more in the full-blown rose, But the love I toast Of all lovethe most, : Lives even beyond life's close. By Ralph M. Thomson.

At - penkerk you may walk an hour round the ramparts built by the dead; but in five minutes you may compass the homes of the living. At ap. all the clocks were regulated three hundred year ago, and the only orphan that the town is turned sixty-nine. At Klom rk, when I was last there, the folk numbered 401; there may by now. But how ever rapidly the place may be said to grow, there is one event in its history which will not be forgotten while the burghers have tongues totalk: and that ie the ineffable offense of Jaap van Hoorn the Younger, which threatened to sub- vert the whole political, social, and moral order of the town. It proves beyond a doubt that unbridled intellect is as peril- ous toa community as a run-away mule. Now, for eighteen vears or thereabouts this Jaap, though much admired as the burgomaster’s son, did nothing out of the way. He even through half his university course at Leyden without at- tracting the attention of the town; but in the third suumer he came home and fell in love with Pietje Klein. This was the root of the black business. At first, indeed, Jaap's intellect had very little to do with the matter. Pietje g was only a pretty peasant of substantial | spice means but no pedigree at all, who lived with her family at the Farm-of-the-Little St. Sohn, Vrouwe'polder-way; but Jaap lost his head so completely that he re- fused to go back to Leyden, and took a humble post on the ship of the Layer- down of Buoys and Inspector of in the Katschegaat rather Presumably Pietje was not so anxious.

The Chantecler hat is not to be taken seriously, considered as a whole, but the Chantecler feathers that are used on it will probably be with us all summer. There is no reason against this; they are really very pretty in curve and color- ing, and are quite an addition to the vast amount of common, barnyard plumage that we have been wearing for years since the Audubon Society became more than a name. _ Its work has given women a queer feel- ing about wearing songsters and their plumage, and the milliners have bowed to the law.

To show how ingenious the French are in naming fashions, in popularizing some passing garment by giving it a local habi- tation and a name, there is this story: This neck frill which they took up last autumn was a truly French variation on our more severe and trying Peter Pan. It was accordian plaited, made of softest lingerie fabric, and was ied to aneck- band that was only slightly lower than the usual one. Today, and not until today, has it been 1 why? Because it has ingloriously given the name of Chan- tecler rufi. And it really is not unlike the soft collar of long feathers that adorns a rooster’s neck. This name has given an impetus to its being made in the irridescent colorings of red, and bronze and that one no- tices in the cock’s feathers; the fabric is chiffon or pat, and the flocs is gained by placing a layer of one colorover a la of another color.
