Thou who hast set thy dwelling fair With flowers beneath, above with starry lights, And set thy altars everywhere On mountain heights, In Woodland valleys dim with many a dream, In valleys bright with sprlng3, And In the curving capes of every stream Thou who hast taken to thyself the wings Of morning, to abide Upon secret plnces of the sea And on fair Islands, where the tide Visit the beauty of untrodden shores, Waiting for worshippers to come to thee In they great out of doors! To thee I turn', to these I make my prayer, God of the open air! From the prison of anxious thoughts that greed has bullded, From the fetters that envy has wrought and pride has gulld- 5? ed' From the noise of the crowded ways and the fierce confusion, From the folly that wastes Its days in a world of illusion (Ah, but tho life Is lost that frets and languishes there) I would escape and be free In the Joy of the open air! So let me keep These treasures of the humble heart In true possession, owing them by love; And when at last I can no longer move Among them freely, but must part From the green fields and from the water clear, Let me not creep Into some darkened room and hide From all that makes tho world so bright and dear, But throw the windows wide To welcome in the light; And while I clasp a well beloved 'hand Let mo once more have sight Of tho dep sky and the far smiling land Then gently fall on sleep, And breathe my body back to na- turo's care, My spirit out to thee, God of tho open air! Henry Van Dyke. Ik PROF. HAECKEL, with that cus tomary skeptical attitude of the German phlllsophers toward tho feminist movement, says: "The women are still fond of paint and feathors and wearing jewelry and of scenting themselves as they wore 3000 years ago. Time and civiliza tion have had no effect on them. Their weapons of then aro their wea pons of today. They are beautiful, but no more so than they over were and it grieves mo to think that they lay such stress on clothes and other outward adornments. But It always has been so and always will bo so." Tho professor's last sentence cheers us. Wo are glad that they al ways will bo so; that Is, that they will continue to look as pretty as ' they can, which v,e do not take to mean that they will always wear such grotesque hats and a un pleasant looking gowns as thoy so often do now. Wo livo in forvld hope that some day woman with her accumulating intellectuality will throw off the slavory of fashion and attire herself (each ono) to tho ralmont that be comes her. Wo even hope this for men, but with less confidence. Wo welcome not tho day when wo man kind will lay loss "stress on clothes," but when sho will lay more stress, and will refuse to bo built Into a guy or a monstrosity becauso Paris milliners and drossmakers so decree. ' It will bo a gloomy, dull, dead era when women cease to regard where with they are arrayed, but it will be a glorious awakening, a regenera tion, an apotheosis, when they ap pear like the flowers of the field each blossoming forth In such splen dor as her gifts of face and figure make fit, and no garb shall exceed the limitations of Its wearer when little women need not wear washtub hats and the royal brow of a Diana be surmounted by one no larger than a pancake; when the tube gown shall be affected only by the tube woman, and the petite matron of the Dutch shepherdess type may dress like one, Instead of in a robe with a sweeping train that keeps coming into the room for half on hour after the wearer has entered. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. E. Cook, Thurs day gave a very pleasant surprise party In honor of their eldest daugh ter's eleventh birthday.
