SPUING IN HOLLAND
By Martha Jane llottel
We are slowly traversing up a
winding puth, by the side of the sea.
in Holland. Ahead of us we see the
bold outline of a windmill against the
morning sky, as it swings aloft its gi
ant arms in response to the command
of the driving wind from the western
sea. It reminds one of the poem call
ed "The Windmill" by Longfellow.
A sail boat lies Idly drilling on the
blue waters of the canal, which is one
of the myriads of . boats in this
strange land.
rariher on, along the path, stands
another windmill, lifting high its
great arms to the service of the wind.
Resting near by as if sheltered by
this old mill, is a hut of quaint style.
It seems to be just' on the edge of a
small wood. Even from where we
are, we can 'hear the warbling of
birds unseen, that sing as if they
would burst their throats with their
sweet music. The fresh breath of
spring is in the air, and fields of mul-
ti colored sowers bloom everywhere.
All the earth is awakened to a new
and more beautiful life.
The sun advancing majestically to
its zenith can be easily imagined as
preceded by the goddess Aurora in
her chariot surrounded by the twelve
maidens representing the bouts of
tho day.
1 he deep blue of the sky is obscur
ed now and then by a fleecy white
cloud, floating lazily by overhead.
The emerald waves softly kiss the
golden sands, as they have come half
way across the world to see the mir
acle spring has wrought.
TO A WHITE ROSE
By Virginia Coats
Thy petals so white,
1 hy beauty bo rare,
Thv buds shut tight,
1 see them hiding there.
I used to wonder
And wish to know
Why with every rose
The thorns must grow,
But now I quite
Well understand
They're like the swords
That guard our land
You represent virtue and purity,
Because you'ro a gift of God, white
rose
And these high standards he reflects,
In every blessing he bestows.
How Do They?
.Teacher: (telling class that in a
certain country the people eat with
their hands because these people say,
"We know who washes our hands but
not the silver?"
Boy: Well, how do they eat soup?

THE BOBOLINK
Th bobolink is a friend of the peo
ple in the north. He in a help to us
because he eats bugs that are harm
ful to the crops. He sings bis happy
song to us when he cheers us.
His coat of feathers is a jet black
with a white crest. When he is in the
north where he gets his mute, his
nestlings are born.
He leaves us in the winter and goes
to the south where he becomes a pest
known as the ricebird, because he eats
and destroys the grain and rice. The
farmers hate him and chase him from
the fields. They are glad when he
leaves and comes to the north. We
love him and are sorry to have him
leave us.
Thus he is known as Mr. II do in
the south and Dr. Jekyll in the north.

THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES
By Juunita Nelson
As far as the eye can see and the
imagination can reach, stretch the
Canadian prairies. The train lulls
you to sleep near the summit of the
Rockies and when you awaken in the
morning you are speeding across a
land as level as a floor with not a
tree or a bush in sight.
After the wild mountain .scenery
tho prairies seem very tame, although
rtstlul to the eye.
Small towns dot this level land.
Each town, no matter how small, has
several large grain elevators, one or
more large hotels, a golf course and
a clean, well-kept depot. The grain
elevators stand like sentinels and can
be seen on a clear day for miles. In
fact, 1 have in mind one place where
they can be seen for thirty miles.
't he wild geese and ducks migrate
in such large flocks, that they darken
thu sun and sometimes fly so low,
that one feels all he would have to
do is to reach up and get one.
As tho novelty ot these vasts
level stretches wears off, the eye of
ten aches for something to rest on.
Occasionally the scenery does change.
You see a lake where there is no lake
and grain elevators where there are
no elevators and sometimes a, whole
town. These mirages help to break
the monotony, especially if you are
out on a farm.
The prairies are especially beau
tiful in the full of the year, when the
ripened grain, swaying in the breeze,
resembles the waves of the ocean.
Often frost and snow come before
all the grain is threshed or even cut.
The winters are long and cold. The
prairies are all while, they look pure
and clean, but oh, how lonesome!

MISS ARBUTHNOT'S LETTER

the choicest spot in the country.

the top of a hill above the Alham
bra. All about were the snow caps
while down below was the plain
where the Saracens and Christians
fought. The Alhambra is so beau
tiful arid of course we have an es
pecial interest in it because of
. Washington Irving. One is shown
the room where he wrote the
Skeh Book.
One day several of us, accompa
nied by a policeman, crossed the
river to the mountains where the
gypsies live in the caves. Their
homes, miles of them, are excavat
ed in the hillsides. Tho policemun
told us to give no money and also
to give no heed to the invitations
to enter their homes. Despite his
protection they begged openly and
urged us to come in and have our
fortunes told or to see the things
they had to sell. tWe were taken
Into one old woman's abode. She
had three rooms, all quite clean
and with whitewashed walls. A
stew was boiling away on a tiny
charcoal stove. The chickens, cats,
dogs, and even the goats made free
with the door in most of i the
homes.
In the cathedral down in the city
are the tombs of Isabella and Ferd
inand. It was nice to have a little
more intimate knowledge of them
being as they started Columbus on
his way to our "beloved land.
I bought many lovely things in
Granada including a shawl, laces
and some figures representative of
peasant life.
Leaving Spain the way led thru
-southern France where frequent
stops were made. In Monte Carlo
we paid ten francs to enter the ca
sino where we watched people
wasting their substance at rou
lette. I was surprised to see so
many old people spending their de
clining years in such a way.
Pisa was the first stop in Italy.
I have always wanted to climb the
leaning tower and at last had my
wish. It gives one a horrible feel
ing to climb on the tilt. We didn't
venture out on the balconies as
there are no railings. All the love
ly Carrara marble shops are in
line with the tilt of the tower and
should it fall it certainly would put
them out of business.
I am spinning this letter out at
too great length so must be brief.
Christmas was spent in Florence.
My friend and I were the only ones
in the large hotel and were for
over several weeks stay. Tourists
seemed to be few. Books have been
written about lovely Florence so
far be it from me to attempt any
description, save to say that to me
it is the loveliest spot in Italy.
From Florence I went on alone,
visiting some hill towns on my
way to Rome, where I did all the
usual things and in addition had
the good fortune to, see the royal
family. I walked over to see the
palace and as I arrived saw a
crowd of people assembled. I
joined, to see the king and his fam
ily depart for a dinner engage
ment. I was 'most interested in
the queen who was arrayed in
white satin and wore wonderful
pearl ornaments. I feel quite
thrilled over having seen two
queens. I went down to the sta
tion here in Paris when Queen Ma
rie started for America.
Taking a sleeper out of Rome, I
went to Sicily, the train being fer
ried over the straits. One usually
takes a tour of the island stopping
at Taormina, Syracuse, Girgenti,
and Palermo and that's what I did.
Sicily is like a ijaradise; the sky
is so blue and the sea is ever
changing in its beauty; the land
is a riot of flowers of every hue,
and crowning the mountains is the
snow, so dazzling in the sunshine.
Not only has nature been lavish,
but the whole island teams with
historic interest. I walked miles
and miles along country roads, al
ways meeting friendly peasant
folk. One goat-herd wanted to
give me some milk because I ad
mired his flock. I should have en
joyed two months there, but two
weeks was the length of my stay.
However, I have much to show for
even that brief tirtie.
Returning from Naples by boat
to Marseilles, I found myself again
in France and after a thirteen hour
ride was back in Paris, which had
begun to seem like home as I had
been in and out three times.
There is a charm about Paris. I
love it in every direction, on the
bus top or in the subway, the Cath
edrals or the Rag Fairs.
One of my chief delights is to
browse in the book stalls on the
wull of the Seine. There one can
find treasures in old books and new,
old prints, music, or antiques.
I have tea somewhere every af
ternoon, when with friends we
usually go to a tea shop or a res
