Let nie tell you two or three things about Dunfermline-that beautiful town in Fifeshire. Dunfermline is the birthplace of the famous Andrew Carnegie. Among his many generous gifts was the presentation of Yitten- crief Park to the town of Dunferm- line. In the centre of the park there is a glen, through which a small stream runs, adding to the beauty of its surroundings. Many interesting things may be seen in the glen, such as various species of beautiful birds. The Hower gardens also add to the charm of this park. Because of its beauty the park is visited by many people every year. Carnegie, moreover, gave one million pounds to the Carnegie Dun- fermline Trust. They might use the interest of this money in any way they wished, but they were not to use the principal. In order to use this money, the Trust engaged the finest musicians in the country to form a professional Reed Band which plays in the park the summer twice a day during months. Other bandmasters were engaged to train bands to play in the other parks of the town as well. Xkhen the Carnegie llunfermline Trust was formed twenty-tive years ago, a school of music was instituted. Mr. David Stephen, the man who was pri- vate organist to Andrew Carnegie in Scibo Castle, was elected as the first principal of this school. Linder his guidance it has produced some very tin: musicians. Une of the most important things in Dunfermline is Dunfermline Abbey. llere we find the tomb of King Robert the Bruce underneath the pulpit. The Tower of this Abbey has four sides, on which is written King Robert the Bruce. Climb a winding' stairway to reach the tower, and you have an excellent view of the surrounding country. Even the Forth Bridge on the Firth of Forth may be seen. Let me assure it would he very interesting for you to visit the town famous in the days of Sir Patrick Spens. -.e1le.1' Foster, I-E. 1t's a Hermes you desire, VVhen you're blue, It's a Hermes your require, Wheii you're blueg It is full of laughs 2: And sports, If you're feeling out of sorts.

THE eigrawltzff' X Heralds af Sprztzg 'lihe crocus awoke to find the sun was up. The dew fell softly on the buttercupg The violet lifted her sweet modest head, And rose from out her cold, damp winter's bed. The meadow-lark flew to the sun-dipped sky, His song swelled as he swiftly soared on high. the fairy clouds came out to hear him sing, All earth awoke to find that it was spring. A soft green tinge crept over dales and hills, Through them babbled the streamlets and the rills. The trees spread forth their burdens of green leaves, The moss crept softly o'er the ice-freed eaves. Through earth and sky the spring tlew swiftly by, The sun shone, from his haven in the sky, And through the earth a delicate, misty cloak, Renewed life spread and sleeping things awoke. -Kzfilz Liss, I-lf. Ar Dusk The sun is set, the day is gone. The moon and stars appear. Small clouds are coming one by one, For night is drawing near. Dusk settles o'er the laughing brook, That sang all the weary dayg And the little flowers in the quiet nook Have closed till the first sun-ray. The VVhippoorwill is calling at twilight, In the trees by the laughing brook, And the sunbeams fade at the sight of night, So cast one long, last look. Dusk o'er the hills and meadows falls, O'er t-he ocean, wide and deepg And Mother West NVind comes and call, To bid her children sleep. -Audrey Tipton, II-G. 112
