No artist who e'er painted could portray The vast, etherial beauty of the sky, Vlfhen kissed farewell by all the lights of day, And bathed in starry radiance from on high. The curtains of the 'night were parted wide That our fair day, grown old, might enter in, And let its blessed quiet there abide, Away from clamour's oft resounding din. With longing eyes I gazed into the sky To see the day departing, aged, forlorn, And far beyond the vast expanse of night, The coming 'of a new and glorious morn.

Top-Knot It was in Paris that I got hats, gowns, jewelry, and kid gloves. I forgot to tell you that as I passed through Rheims I saw the ruins of the beautiful cathedral in the distance. Not far from Paris is St. Cloud, where the famous Sevres ware is made. As you will remember, I wasbuying for the John Wariamakei' Company, and I bought many beautiful sets. Paris is the leading railroad center of France. I took a train and arrived in Berlin in two days. - There I bought yards of beautifully' dyed materials, and all kinds of musical instruments, as Germany is the home of music. On my way to Berlin, I came to Cologne, where I got many bottles of perfume. The reason it took me so long to go to Berlin is that I stopped in many placesg I went up to Hamburg, where I saw the big docks. I From Berlin I went to Nuremburg. This, as you know, is the city noted for toys, so I ordered many different kinds. As one cannot travel in Russia at the present time, I deferred my journey until conditions would be settled. So I went down the Danube to Vienna, which was one of the most beautiful cities before the War. Vienna has many beautiful buildings and palaces, and it is famous for its restaurants and cafes. I did not stay long there on account of lack of food g but went further down the Danube to Bulgaria and Rumania. There I bought the beautiful china and glassware which is noted all over the world. As was coming down the Danube, I saw large fields of grain. . In all these countries the people are very musical. From Rumania I went due south to neutral territory to Constantinople, which has been destroyed by fire seven or eight times, but has been re- built. In this city is the beautiful Mosque, which was in the hands of the Turks, who finally painted all over the beautiful paintings and mosaic work, and spoiled it all. In Constantinople I bought Ori- ental rugs. ' After I had been in Constantinople about a week, I went to Greece. Wheii I was on the train, Isaw many mountains. There were numerous ruins of temples and buildings. All of these were very interesting. When I came to Athens, I saw the Acropolis, and it was very interesting. The walls had huge holes, and in places no wall at all. I-lere I bought some jewelry. In the little country of Al- bania, I bought a number of pieces of lace. ' As I passed through Jugo Slavia I saw many wheat fields and vineyards. Now for sunny Italy! F ar off in the distance I could see Venice with its many beautiful canals. On either side of the Grand Canal are fine residences of white marble. I bought some Point de Venise lace here. I went to Pisa, where I saw the Leaning Tower, then to Milan where I bought many hats. After a while I left for the wonderful city of Rome. Wlierr I arrived, I nearly lost myself. There were so many places I wanted to see, I hardly knew where to begin. First I saw St. Peters and part of the Vaticang then to the ruins of the Coliseum and the Forum. In Rome I bought beautiful Roman shawls, filet lace, and Italian linens. Early the next morning I went to Naples, and from there I saw lVlt. Vesuvius. As I had little time I sailed for Marseilles, out of the beautiful Bay of Naples. At Marseilles I bought some bedspreads, and then went to the silk region and bought yards of silk. I crossed the Pyrenees lVIountains to Spain, and went down to Madrid. In the streets were many beggars who held out their hands and begged. The ladies wore many trinkets and beads. Upon their heads they wore mautillas which were made of black lace. T he Spaniards love bright colors and music. As there was nothing in particular I wanted, I only bought a few small articles. Itwas hot and dry here, so I left for Lisbon, and there I ended my tour in Europe. I left for America Decem- ber 2, 1922. MARTHA SATER, Sixth F arm 28

Top-Knot The Eragnnziking I was gloriously, perfectly happy. And why shouldn't 'I have been happy? The war was over and Peggy was back. The two things for which I had prayed every night and morning for two years had come to pass at last. Of course, you must understand by this time that Peggy was my very bestest friend, who had been serving over there. for two whole years. To be sure, it wasn't quite the same old Peggy--her real name was Nlargaret, but everybody called her either Peggy or Sun- beam-g she was just a little thin and worn, just a little less gay and happy-go-lucky, just a little nicer and a little sweeter. There was a new tenderness about her too. I had noticed it first in her glance at the peculiar ring she wore, when Bob had asked, her about it. Tears had come into her eyes at first: then she had laughed and turned it aside with, Oh, it's just a curiosity I picked up in Paris. But I, who was her best friend, knew that the ring held some unusual signihcance in her eyes. There was some story connected with it, some story too sacred for every curious ear. So as we sat there in her cosy room, talking about everything and everybody, as girls will do after a long separation, I kept glancing at the ring and wondering. It was in the shape of a dull gold dragon with a tiny ruby eye. Finally I made up my mind at least to give Peggy a chance to tell me about it. So I drawled out, Oh Peg, what a peculiar ring! Do let me see it. Much to my surprise, when I started to take it from her finger, she jerked her hand back and burst out: No, no, don't do that! Can't you see it well enough without taking it off? As I examined the ring, I felt her hand tremble, and looking up, saw tears and a far-away look in her eyes. A That ring has a story, Betty dear, she said. Would you care to hear it? Indeed I should, I nodded, That is, if you wish to tell me about it. I do, because you are my best friend, and if anything should ever happen to me, I want you to have the ring. After a moment of hesitation, she began: The first person I met outside of Paris, was Mademoiselle Marie Derrior. She was a little French woman about twenty-nine or thirty years old, I imagine, with the sweetest face I have ever seen. With a kind smile and charming manners she welcomed me, a young and inexperienced girl, bringing nothing except willing hands and a desire to help. As she clasped my hands in hers, I noticed that she wore a very unusual ring. It was a tiny gold dragon with a ruby eye. After a few preliminaries, she took me into the ward. I stopped at the door, aghast at the sight before me. A seemingly interminable row .of white beds stretched on each side of the long, long room. Each one embraced its load of pam, and here and there was a wheel chair holding an armless or a legless piece of a man. At first the men did not see us, but when they did, the faces of those suffering men broke out into such smiles that it seemed like sunshine bursting through a cloud, and those who were able cried out joyously. ' 'I-lere comes the little lVIam'selle.' As she took me down between the rows of beds, telling the men that here was a girl from home to write their letters for them and to help them along in any way she could, their eyes shone like stars with love for me. As the busy days passed, I learned to love her just as much as the men did. She was always gentle, always cheerful, never too busy to do something for one of 'her boys' I said she was always cheerful, didn't I? Well, I shall have to take that back, or at least modify it a little. Every day, just before sunset, she left the hospital for a walk. She always carried her little Bible and her cross, and there was always an excited, hopeful look on her dear face. She was al- ways gone about an hour, but when she returned, the excitement and hopefulness had all disappeared. and in their place was a profound sadness. But in a few minutes after her return, she was her old cheerful self again. I never thought much about this daily disappearance until I had been there for some time. Then I began to think it rather strange. Why did she always go at the same time? Why did she always carry the little Bible? Why was she always happy when she left and sad when she re- turned? 30
