Q. POETRY 77 MUSIC RUTH HADLEY. 3SI Soft strains of a Venetian waltz Drift me into a dream Of gondolas and sweet romance, While poling down the stream. The Frenchman sings a love song, It ends like this: Je t'aime , What should end that way but a love song- And Frenchie to sing the rhyme? The Hutes of Morocco's streets Blare forth in the noon-day sun, While Arabs on their jet black steeds A journey have just begun. Weird dances to scare away devils, The tom tom beats the timeg India's natives cleansing their soul From an unearthly sort of grime. Hawaiian guitars strum off a tune, While waves beat on the shore, The music seems to end so soon When I want more and more. as -If me THE SONG OF THE WIND KATHLEEN TWYNN, 3C A soft sweet, harmonious thing Is only the song that the wind can sing, Now loud, now soft, as though it came From an unknown land of an un- known name, Where fairies weave their magic spell, And where the unknown chanters dwell, Re-echoing, through the wandering wind A glorious anthem of a mystic kind. Sixty-eight Like the delicate scent of a rose in spring Is the song that only wind-songsters sing, Soothing a weary suEerer's pain, Lulling a baby to sleep again. It diverges like a tolling bell, Emerges as an ocean quell, Fading mysteriously as it came To that far-away land without-a-name. ar if if WINTER HAZEL FLEMING. 3C The days are short, Bare are the trees, No longer blows The autumn breeze. The sky is dark, The clouds are grey, 'Tis the sign of a storm Upon its way. And now the snow falls Soft and light, Covering the earth With a blanket white. Listen! Hear the wind Whistling through the eaves, . Rustling all the brown, Late autumn leaves. The babbling brook And the old mill pond Are held in the clutch Of old winter's bond. Oh! thou dreary winter The time of ice and snow When the cold North Wind Doth cruelly, coldly blow. - EASTERN ECHO

Thoughts of an Idle Typist Wouldn't that Imperial Bank cal- endar make a wonderful jig-saw ? My! How quiet the brick yard is this afternoon. Ho-Hum! 'kit One reason the Public Library is so popular these days is that after sel- ecting a book you can take it up to the desk and say Charge it, please! iii It is rather disappointing to their old cronies that party leaders of that infamous gang known as the SB Spree Club have turned out to be Mark Sharks this year, thinking nothing of munching a hurried sandwich at noon while slaving at a Bkkg. set. iii' The teacher called his science class to order shortly after the lunch hour. Our special work this afternoon, he said, will be cutting up and inspect- ing the inward workings of a frog. I have a frog in my pocket here to be used as a specimen. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a paper sack, shook its contents out on the table, and out rolled a nice-looking sandwich. The teacher looked at it perplexed, scratched his head and muttered, That's funny, I distinctly remember eating my lunch.

Seventy Our Publicity Man's Theme Song: BUY an ECHO, Yaa-hoo! 'kit The shipls siren blew loudly, and the dear old lady nearly jumped out of her steamer chair. My goodness! she exclaimed. What's that awful noise? A passing sailor enlightened her. We blow that every morning to wake up the fish, he told her. iii The doctor answered the phone, turning to his wife he said, Quick, get me my bag. This man says he can- not live without me. Just a moment, said his wife, who had picked up the receiver that call is for Lillian. fit Father had been reading a fairy story. And they lived happily ever after, he concluded.
