ENDYMION Upon a mountain side watch- ing his sheep, . A handsome lad lay fast asleep ; Diana the goddess saw him there , And could not resist a lad so fair. On his lips she placed a kiss , An act which Jupiter did not misa, And condemmed the lad to die or sleep-- But if the latter, eternal youth to keep. So the youth slept on, and Diana wept, Wishing she ' d on her jour- ney kept .nd not even noticed the lad so fair Whose beauty enticed her while sleeping there. --Phyllis Watson A GREAT LADY On October 28, a famous American lady had a birthday. She was born in France and is fifty-seven years old. The height of this great lady is one hundred fifty feet and she weighs two hun- dred twenty-five tonsi She stands in New York harbor.

Those dia- monds stayed there and because of their bril- liance glowed ever after as stars. Original Myth --June Calais
