Wet Gold Big God— you who every morning pull a bucket of red-hot gold—out from behind the world and throw it recklessly over the sleepy earth. Generous God— to splash the rich warm gilt on greyish mountain peaks _ —even drip a little on tiny pools (small spatters that dance) You laugh— then blow the star-dust across the earth —blow the silver dust of night onto the other side (always— you blow it ’round and ’round) A Glorious God who, from the east drowns the :" land with a blinding golden glory and then blazes a dazzling smear of molden gold across the silken-hissing sea. —ELEANOR BUKTCHAELL, ’27 Wet Gold (To P. S. and E. B.) Buttercups lift round songs of dew to a small girl with dripping curls of elfin phospherescenee. . . . .. r—•• Cricket-cool scents, redolent of daffodils, $ fluctuate in the breeze; above the rain-clean sun, at the mist, sagging edge of dawn, a lark curves higher—higher spinning his rapture to rainbow gold. —DICK SNAVE RETLAW. * # * # Wet Gold The dark, wet street Flows on into the dusk. . .

Is spun from the first rays of dawn. /’ The shuttles are the white sea pigeons Holding in their beaks the thread of light ^ Dipping dawn, soaring up, Skimming the curl of a wave, over and under Weaving a pattern of shimmering fancy .To cloth the slim body Of Neptune’s daughter. To shield her from Apollo’s gaze. —ellen g. McClellan. * * * ik ■ * if Moody Weather ~ y/ The fields lie heavy, black and sodden. The fence rows with their bare and stunted bushes Twist and turn, go on and on, and end 1 Where they began. r The weedy roadsides have a wide and vacant stare W hile the wet roads wind aimlessly here and there And lose themselves in the gray fog The gray air is filled with vapors and with odors rrom the earth As from one great miasmic bog. Sullen gray clouds crowd and push and fill the »kv And surge above the helpless earth. The helpless earth, praying for relief from the Interminable grayness Is answered by rain, rain, rain. —GERTRUDE F. COLLINS. D ART PANELS AND RUGS PLACED ON EXHIBITION Storey and Thater Works To Go to Los Angeles A collection of decorative panels and hooked rugs is on exhibition now in the gallery of the film arts building and will remain only until j the remainder of the week, i They are the work of two women, Mary Louise Thater and Dorothea | Storey who have their studio in Albany, A. Y., and they are on their way south, after travelling un der the auspices of the art museums i of the country, from the east. ! The hooked rugs, which are the | work of Hiss Storey, are twenty [five in number, and differ in size, ! shape, color and idea. Several are | long, narrow panels, similar to tap j estries in that they reveal a group of medieval court figures. These latter are a decidedly novel idea [ I in the realm of rugs, and hold the ! interest because of their quaint 1: ness. One rug is a copy of the ! chart to Captain Kidd’s hidden , treasure chest, showing by comical figures and strange landmarks the location of that famous wealth. The other rugs are similar to the Chiiu\-e rugs in their design, but their -colors are warm shades of tan, orange, green and russet. They vary .in shape, some being neardy square4 and others round liko the eolonuti rag rugs. The pictures, or art panels as they are called, are purely decora tive. They are oil, water pastels and there are fifteen of them alto gether. They are vivid, colorful pictures of birds and flowers, some j of them resembling Chinese prints, ' with a combination of color and do- j sign pleasing to the eye. The pictures are for sale, and a ! few of the rugs, but for the larger i rugs orders must be placed. The I CLASSIFIED ADS O' ———-■-----.-<s, i FOR SALE — Ladies’ English' tweed riding suit.
