THE PIOXEER PAGE ELEVEN THE WILD MARCH WIND The wild March wind rattled my door, And whistled around the eaves, So wildly he shook my shutters, I thought myself threatened by thieves. And then I knew ’twas the March wind. He’s not one vou should fear, He comes to tea quite often About this time of year . I opened my door and curtsied low, And said with my coziest smile, “Come in, March Wind, and have some tea And sit around for a while.” In came the wild sir March wind, And sat in my big wing chair, He took his pearly cloak off, Smoothed down his wild dark hair. We had some tea and muffins, And some golden marmalade, And talked of the foreign places, Where the wild March wind had strayed. “I never stay in one place long,” Said he with a windy smile, “I really must at once depart, I’ve been here quite a while.” He gallantly kissed my finger tips, While I made a curtsy low, I said “good-bye” with real regret, For I hated to see him go. RAIN Pitter Patter in the lane This is the gentle springtime rain Calling forth the flowers sweet To cast their fragrance at your feet. A rumble, grumble thru th e morn Comes the summer thunder storm. With flashes bright and husky roar It speeds it way across the moor. Splitter, splatter on the pane This is the dampish Autumn rain. Making mud ’bout two feet deep That oozes clinging round your feet. Hurrying, scurrying in the blow This is the month of sleet and snow ’Tis only the rain arrayed in white To make dark winter seem more bright. Spearshaker II THE CASTLE YESTERDAY There’s a misty isle of memory, some¬ where in the ocean wide, Where I shall sail in my ship of thoughtfulness, with no one by my side; On this isle of gentle friendships I would be content to stay, And in the midst of lost illusions, build my Castle Yesterday. I’d have a garden of flowers, And many woodsy spots Filled with wild-rose bowers And blue for-get-me-nots. When we were young, The song of life was sung; But, now that song has died away, Yet, perchance, the echoes linger in my Castle Yesterday. Jeanne Else ’31

PAGE TEX THE PIONEER chased my paper, so everyone knows about it now. The correct thing to say is “tablet” or “pad,” but the former is preferable. My vocabulary is increas¬ ing every day, to say the least. Trying to speak the way New Yorkers do is most as bad as learning French. My English teacher says I have a soft inflection (not infection!), and that I leave off “r’s” and add “r’s” in a queer way.!! It’s really humorous. BOOK REVIEWS “The Apple Cart,” George Bernard Shaw’s latest play, is “a political extrav¬ aganza in two acts and an interlude” taking place some time in the future. The play is mostly conversation be¬ tween King Magnus of England and his cabinet, with no more action than necessary. Shaw furnishes a lively discussion of the merits of a monarchy versus a democracy emphasizing the injurious influence of big business on the latter. When threatened that he must resign some of his powders, the king upsets the “apple cart” of parlia¬ ment by announcing that he will abdi¬ cate and go into politics as a citizen. His ministers, however, are afraid to meet so clever a king on equal footing. Two rather startling incidents occur during the play. First, the “interlude,” an act with apparently no connection with the plot, shows the king with Orinthia, a lady of the court, to whom he goes to forget the troubles of a monarch. Lively conversation ensues. They get so hilarious that the scene ends with the king and Orinthia actu¬ ally sprawling on the floor. Then, there is the officious American ambassador who pompously announces to the king that America has torn up her Declara¬ tion of Independence and is ready to come back to the fold. The imaginative political situations, although not so improbable, and the keen debating make this a very inter¬ esting and entertaining play. “What Have You Got To Give” by Angelo Patri is a book that I can rec¬ ommend whole-heartedly, especially to those who like books that offer a chance for a little thinking. Those who can not be bothered spending some time in examining the whys and where¬ fores of life will find the book easy to read, interesting, not too long, (a great advantage). It is worth while, too, for Angelo Patri is well known through his articles which appear daily in the newspapers. He is a teacher and is able to present his knowledge in funny little sketches, like castor-oil in orange juice. I wonder how many of you have read “The Last Days of Pompeii”? Those who like historical novels will find it one of the best in richness of back¬ ground and correctness of detail. Those who demand suspense and thrills will have to be taken away by force when they reach the most complicated part of the intrigue, or the description of the terrible eruption of the mighty Vesu¬ vius. Others who want sentiment will find another instance here of the time¬ worn fact that the course of true love is turbulent indeed. “Scottish Chiefs” is the story of the struggle between Scotland and England for the rule of Scotland. The reader is held spellbound bv the battles and adventures of the various characters which are made more interesting by the fact that it is history. The book is very vivid and seems to have been enjoyed by its readers if one can go by the com¬ ments along the margins. At first one is discouraged by the fine print, but after beginning the book it is all one can do to drag himself away.
