The God of the Open Air.
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.

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. The after
