IT WAS because the dawn was in her eyes, It was because the night was In her hair, Because I heard the forest in her sighs, I held her fair. She came upon me 'neath the huddled eaves, She walked beside me In the maze of men Her sadness, sadness of a wood that grieves, Her smile, the sun again. Her voice was like the whispering of trees. Her laughter like the tinkle of a rill ; Her cheeks blushed roses, roses such as these Upon the hill. She was a river In a thirsty land, A changeless star In midnight skies to shine Her touch, to walk with Nature hand- ln-hand And she was mine, was mine. So leave me In the wood a little while; Here where the grass Is greenest let me He. The sun shall bring me once again her smile, The wind her sigh. Here only do we seem no more apart, In verdant ways beneuth the skies of blue; The stirring earth will seem a beat ing heart. The heart, the heart I knew. Once only she could bring the forest near, In those old days amid the panting crowd, Once only she could make the stars . appear Beyond the cloud. So now the forest that her soul ex pressed To my own soul is her Interpreter In ev'ry wind that wanders east or west I hear but her, but her I (Copyright.)

SINCE linen has been almost prohib itive In price and the linen In our chests has been cherished for state oc casions, the little Japanese sets, cloths and napkins, which make no pretense of being anything more than cotton (hut which have such pretty artistic designs, In good colors) have become very populnr. The well-kept dining tuble never looks better than when laid with pret ty dollies, which most women enjoy making lu their leisure moments. The old fashion of loading the table with all sorts of good things has passed. We still have the desire to be well fed but with more comfort and greater heulth. A dainty centerpiece of flowers or a small plnnt always adds to the ap pearance of any tuble. Flowers need not be of the choice hot house vari ety, for a bunch of beautiful clover Is a thing of beauty and costs noth ing. Pretty little ferns may be taken up In the woods, planted In small pots and used for a table ornament. The present fashion returns to the old wny to serving desserts and sal ads at the tuble, letting each guest help himself to the amount he de sires. This Is both convenient and economical as It eliminates leftovers. , till.

THE hotel worker gets her board and usually her lodging, as well as her salury. The salaries run from $50 to $150 a month. Hotel positions are Interesting and Important. A girl must have intelligence, a good pres ence, good manners, and a level head. She has responsibilities, and she ought to be a Judge of human nature. The room clerk must have a good memory, so that even with a large clientele she will remember the different guests who are making her hotel their home, and she should be able to size up applicants for rooms without hesitation. The desk clerk comes into direct contact with the guests. She Is sta tioned at the desk In the nmln lobby, and must be ready to answer all sorts of questions regarding not only the ho tel, but the city. She must he smart In appearance, have tact, courtesy and unfailing good humor. The floor clerk accepts packages, an swers phone calls, pays for C. O. D. parcels. She often does stenography for guests. She receives, sorts and de livers the mail for her floor. And she, too, answers questions. Then there are the restaurant posi tions, the cufe cashier, the food check er, the waitress. All these positions are good ones. Moreover, there are the summer ho tels, where a girl gets room, board and salary, varying according to the type of hotel. Many college women help themselves through college in tills way. For the ambitious girl without defi nite training hotel work Is to be rec ommended as an excellent way to earn an Independent living. (Copyright.) O V THE ROMANCE OF WORDS "CANARD," N ENGLISlTThe word "ca nard" Is used to signify a fab I ricated, sensational story something made up "out of the whole cloth," a verbal bomb usually sprung at the last mo ment so that there will not be time successfully to contradict It. But "cunurd," in French, means a duck. There doesn't appear to be much connection be tween the two but there Is. In fact the whole thing goes back to ducks, twenty of them. Noibert Cornellssen, a French man who lived during the Inst century, determined to experi ment with the credulity of the public and reported to the news papers that he hud a flock of ducks, twoscore In number, of which he took one, cut It into small pieces and threw the bits to the other nineteen, which de voured them ravenously, Then, scarcely giving the ducks time to get hungry, Cornellssen re- pented the experiment and was t once more successful, "In an amuzliigly short space of time," he declared, "the finck was re duced to a single duck, which bad eaten his nineteen broth ers." Scientists and naturalists argued about the mutter for some days through the columns of the 1'arlslnn papers. Then Cornellssen confessed that the whole thing was a hoax. There hud never even been a flock of ducks, Just the one that he kept for purposes of exhibition. But flie report hnd gained so much publicity that the plirasn "duck story" was Implanted In French slung, much ns "fish story" Is an accepted colloquialism In Kng llslu "Cunnrd" became synony mous with hoax and, Instead of being translated, the word wus ' adopted bodily Into English In Its present sense.
