ORY OF THE UNSUCCESSIUL. |
Have you thought, in your moments ot|
triumph,
O vou that are high in the tree,
Of the days and nights that are bitter—
So bitter to others and me?
When the efforts to do what is clever
Result in a failure so sad,
And the clouds of despohdency gather
And dim all the “_>pes that we had?
Have yon thought, when the world was
applauding
Your greatness, whatever it be,
Of the tears that

Yes, falling from others and me?
When the hardest and latest endeavors
Appeared to be only in vain,

For it wants but little reflection,
And vou'll be the first to:

And now Tom had absolutely re-

that he would not stop short of
divorce courts to prevent it.
Finally arose
and went to her room.
She had an id-a which she thought,
if properly carried out, would
Tom’s consent to the wearing of
bloomers. She wrote a hurried note
to her dressmaker ordering
er suit of a pattern which had
already selected, and then donned
her old bicycle suit to pay a call on
Mrs. Kynasion, who had a husband
who did not object to bloomers,
She told her troubles to the viva-
cious Mrs. Kynaston, who was not
sparing in her sympathy for the poor
friend who had a narrow-minded hus.
band who objected to a convenient |
bicycle dress.
‘Why, how foolish of him,” she
said. ‘I don’t believe the poor man |
has ever seen a proper bicycling cos-
tume. I'll tell you what we'll do.
We'll all go bicycling this altarnoon,
and come back by your house at just
the time your husband gets home,
and he will gee what a bloomer suit |
looks like.’’
And so the bicycle party was ar-|
