-l2l'l1-'PUC Pink and Grey Satin By Lenore Rutzen ' ' D EAR me l said Sarah as she sat by the low light- ed lamp. Such a mess, and all because of that old bonnet, too! I can't find a thing in this whole box scraps, fit for a bonnet. O! here is a piece, and she held up a piece of grey satin. The minister's wife had given Sarah a box of scraps of goods, for she thought that Sarah, the school mam, could make use of them. Sarah at once thought of making something she had .always longed for, an Easter bonnet. 'This is just the thing, said Sarah. O, and I know what I can do, I will take a piece of that pink I got for Christmas. I need a hat more than a waist anyhow. She slowly crossed the room and opening a drawer, drew out a package from which she took a piece of pink satin. She recrossed the room, held the two pieces to the light. Now, aren't they pretty, she whispered. I must go to bed now, and tomorrow evening I'll rip that old block off of my hat, and use the frame. The next day the children at school wondered what had happened to Miss Sarah Perkins, she was so pleased, and never even cast one disgusted look at Tommy, who was the worst child ever. 0n her way home that evening, Sarah met Mr. Crumper, the man whose one ambition was to become an artist. Good evening, Miss Perkins, said he. Why, how do you do, Mr. Crumper, have you that last picture finished yet ? No, not quite, but it will soon be ready. By the way, Mr. Crumper was very fond of Miss Perkins, but because he had not yet earned his fortune, nothing could be said of it to her. As he left her at the door she thought, I wonder if he will like my new bonnet, I must hurry and be sure to have it finished. So Sarah went to her room, and sewed and ripped and ripped and sewed and sewed, until the crown-which was of the pink, was nicely put on. Every night Sarah went to her room to sew, until the bonnet was finished, and it surely was pretty, with the pink top and grey bottom, and a pink rose right in front. The next day Ipage fourteenl

Like a calm ocean, sprinkled with white foam Which proved to be but snowy, feeding sheep. Afar, few thatched cottages stood out Against the blue horizon, cheerful signs That human beings dwelt in that fair land Through such surroundings rode the faithful knights, When, in the pleasant, mellow afternoon, Across the fields came running a young girl Who cried, Sir Knights, I pray ye give me help I Now, Bedivere, who first had ta'en the oath, Was all for stopping, but the other two, Ulfius and Brastias said, Our king Hath told us we must hasten to the court Of King Leodogran. Let us not stop. ' But Bedivere, in mild and gentle tone, Replied, We've sworn to right all earthly wrongs. Think ye that Arthur would not heed this maid? The others, shamed, drew rein, and soon the girl Was telling a sad story, how a bold And cruel ruffian sought her father's gold Which he, an old man, hid within his house, A cottage, easily 'seen from where she stood. The father would not sacrifice his hoard Which, with a home and farm, was all he owned O, knights, she cried, come aid my father dear Who dwelleth all alone except for me. - The kindly Bedivere assuaged her grief As best he could by promising to haste Up to the cottage which she pointed out, And deal the guilty thief a well earned blow. A Then straightway leaped the chargers in the course And in five minutes reached the humble house. A common country fellow held a club Of ominous proportion, and with it Was pounding on the almost fallen door. What simple task than for an armed knight A To fell with one stroke that degraded man? This Bedivere did quickly, then the girl, Who'd followed them, ran up and shouted, Come, My father, noble knights have saved our all! Fear not, dear father, open wide the door! A sound of bolts being drawn prepared the knights For seeing the door burst open. An old man Stepped quickly out, and thanked, with lowly mien, The saviors of his worldly treasure store.

was Easter and Sarah could hardly sleep from excite- ment. O, I wonder if he will like it, she said over and over. And jumped up from her bed a number of times, to see whether it was still there. Sarah was up bright and early the next morning, for the church was some distance away, and Sarah had to walk. As she neared the bridge 'she put her pin tightly into the hat, because it was windy. She had but a few more steps to take, when puff, came the wind and whizzed the hat through the air. Sarah was too dumbfounded to speak for a few seconds. Then she cried, Ol my! my bonnet, what will I do, help, some- one, help. Just then she felt a light touch on her shoulder, and looking back she saw Mr. Crumper, and she cried, Go get it, quick, you didn't even 'see it, did you ? and she sobbed as if her heart would break. Then Mr. Crumper bent forward and whispered: P Sarah, my picture was accepted and the dealer said to bring in all my others. I will get you a new bonnet and many others, if you will let me, Sarah. Sarah bowed her head and cared no more for the bonnet, for she had won something better. John M cLauglzlin, Pirate , By M ax Jacoby Oh, Johnny McLaughlin he sailed o'er the sea, For Johnny McLaughlin a pirate was he. He drank and he sang and he jeered and he sneered, And Johnny McLaughlin was by everyone feared. The captain gave orders to all men alike, But Johnny McLaughlin was ready to fight. He scowled and he growled, and he moved to the lee, To sniff the salt breezes from over the sea. One sunshiny day when all mates were gay, Oh, Johnny McLaughlin, on the deck he lay, Drunk as could be, with his head toward the lee, Still sniffling the salt breeze from over the sea.
