Dancing, and murmuring its secrets to all who list, It sparkles like gems in the sunlight as it trips o'er the mossy stones. Daisies and buttercups, and honeysuckle flowers are beckoning and nodding their heads. The larks and the robins call to their mates, And the nightingale warbles without. Love calls to her, entwines her, In So why should my Alethean seem so troubled and sad. PREPARATION- Is it not discouraging, when to the listeners nearby, Her truths and ideals appear false? When she fears lest Existence may close her account, E'er she makes them understand what she's Owen to the world. SOCIETY- Yes 'tis true, but why shouldn't she, Have peace in her soul? Howsoever wild the world may roll. For, through her striving, they cannot fail to know e'er long. PREPARATION- Oh, 'tis that endless striving, striving for an ever fleeting goal, lTis that which will make her strongest, It is Pseudo mischievously intervening Turns her ideals upside down, Hence upon that fair maid's brow plays that unbecoming frown. Ah, here sh-e comes, my little dusky haired sprite, Mirth and mischief dancing in her bright black eyes. What should we do without you, to prevent us from being content with what We are. SOCIETY- For indeed 'tis you little Pseudo's heart, That keeps us all alert. 'This with you, the seed of Wisdom we do sow. - And with the hand of Experience we make it grow. PREPARATION- ' Now what have you, my merry lass, been up to? PSEUDO- Oh! I have just demolished some of Alethean's dreams, For you know she has high ideals, which tower to the sky. But I crept in, tumbled them down and hence, She is in the garden giving Way to her despondence. PREPARATION- Oh, let us hasten to our darling and see if on the morrow, We might not find some remedy for her great sorrow. SCENE II. QA spacious garden, a meandering stream dancing and sparkling in the sun. Alethean sitting beside the stream beneath a willow tree.J ALEATHEAN- O world, O cruel, cruel world, that loveth not my dreams and aspirations. Would that I might leave your cold and bitter shores. Ye Warbling nightingales take me on your wings, And bear me away from this unfeeling world of things, Lead me to immortal truth, where all in sight is of worth. fPseudo enters shaking her head saucilyj

It is pride that always tumbles with a crash, But never mind 'tis only for a flash, Come let your sorrows fly, The winds will carry them skyhigh. PREPARATION- My Alethean keep on weaving, extend your great web into space, Open your eyes to the great crowds seething and slowly gather them in with grace. Strive your friends to please with manners wondrous winning, Never follow wicked ways unless the great truth you are opining. ALETHEAN- O ye muses, pour the pitying tear for truth, most snatched away. For I'd lived another year if I hadnot most died today. PREPARATION- Arouse my dear, dream on just remembering That it, hand in hand with your unceasing striving, Will in time bring you to your goal with everlasting freedom of the soul. fJest enters bubbling over with laughterj J EST- Why these tears, Let me tickle your chin with this feather, To drive away your fearsg I-Ia! Ha! Oh I see, your cup of ideals was so full, That when Pseudo bumped your elbow it spilled over. I-Ia, so that is why you weep. SOCIETY- Well Jest, with you we'll leave our maid, Her sorrow to dispel, herface to wreath in smiles. PREPARATION- ' Ah, just so my dear Society, that is wellg So let us make our way to the tea room gay. To forget our past history, for the present day mystery. QEXitJ JEST- Oh, what is wrong I say, Has Pseudo been teasing in the usual way, ' But never fret for she is only Nyx And we will send her to the river Styx. So come let us stray, To our old Dutchman's Ford by the way, , Then to Great Brittain, where the monotony of the Lyon knittin, will be re- lieved. ALETHEAN- ' Oh, frivolous Jest take your leave, Hie you to your kind, there you may weave. Here comes my fiery, nimble friend Debate, Whose arguments at times decide my fate. CDebate enters, small energetic, somewhat Trickey little elf, with Robert's Rules of Order, De Lux edition under her arm.J V ALETHEAN- l Ah welcome, what now I pray thee, Means the merry twinkle in your eye. DEBATE- The truth is, my brain I am ransacking, For some honest facts upon this subject seeking,
