in memorys fond glow Como back tho visions of lifes yesterday yester-day TIs memory swings the pearly gates ajar Where youth and beauty moved In lifes I young morn And there was naught our hopes and dreams to mar Tho roses ever bloomed without a thorn And this our Eden had Its happy Eves And Adams too all apples l put away And In thut throng where Joy her garland olIves Behold tho charming girl of yesterday I Ah Who can toll the magic of her sway Tho Hashing brightness of hor wit and smile Tho grace and beauty that seemed hereto here-to stay Winning our hearts and love not to beguile be-guile The star hone brightly in her sparkling eye Moonlight on rippling water was her sin tie In her soft voice the winds sweet gentle sigh And In her heart love left no room for guile I And passing through the sad ordeal of years Queen of our hearts still holding her sweet say Sometimes with hopes still bright sometimes some-times In tears Behold the charming girl of yesterday The fleeting years have lightly touched her life But spared her ntlll a noble niche to nil And In the home as mother and as wife Wo pay our highest homage to her still I JONATHAN C ROYLE W j THE GIRL OF TODAY I Picture a garden sweetly rare And thoro among the roses I A gentle girl divinely fair Who all unconscious pones I Sho waits a lover como to woo Who comes with loveloro laden To sing her songs Mho knows are true Shes not todays fair mald nAnd n-And so It makes It very hard To wrllo of modern misses No easy task for any bard J > Who nl Is too shy for kisses TIme romance of the yesterday rffv Is gone its memory hovers i Around us but It Is passe I j Our girls wait not for lovers I If no ono comes to hold Ihclr hands These Sues and Kales and Sadies They form some cliques In lllllo bands And say theyre bachelor lathes If none appear to touch their lips And nypear dreams aesthetic They slyly take tho gentle lips And say they aro athletic JI All Independence Is this maid And full of strange ambition In gorgeous gowns she Is arrayed To help her hold position She reads a paper and an art Instead of picking violets Or trying to control her heart While reading tender triolets Sho wants to start whcro mother quit And when the tea is steeping Her share of gossip shell remit And leave l the others weeping And often shes a diplomat To scheme for heart strings aching Just bv a word In friendlY chat That starts a heart to breaking She loves adventure she Is free And has no tlmo for leisure Shos not like girls that used to bs But lives lor work and pleasure The spirit of the lightning age Has got her in Its power She loves the whirl and none can gauge Her futuro for an hour I I would not bo unjust to them There arc so many classes A very few I would condemn And theyre among tho masses Girls cannot change so very much Theyre daughters of our mothers But girls of yesterday were such Thatwell there axe no others lOD IJOODWIN co 40 The art exhibit of original drawings

held its annual meeting in Minneapolis Mayor Gray of that city said We owe I more in Minneapolis to the character 1 of our women than to any other factor In the progress of the city We need tho infusion Into city life of womens activity While I have been Mayor we have made an attempt to have a woman wo-man on the Board of Health but largely large-ly on account of political favoritism wo have failed to get one We have had a woman on the school board and I believe she did her work in an efficient manner The men of the board are I wellmeaning enough but they look at the outside of a building and feel satis lied A woman would see the stairs and the corners of the room wher a man sees the pretty principal 1 shall welcome the day when the women of Minneapolis have a great deal more to say about these affairs than they have at present 4 iii A The Maine federation has ninety eight clubs with an aggregate membership mem-bership of 4592 o 4 SAt S-At a recent meeting oi the board of

committee on education Mrs Denison of the membership commIttee and Mrs Lora Rockwell Priddy of WIchlla Kan of the programme committee com-mittee for the sixth biennial which will meet either In Boston or Los An geleg 00 5 i The board of directors of the G F W C has decided that the social side of the sixth biennial meeting shall be restricted re-stricted to one reception This Is said to have been brought about by the severe crIticism of the fifth biennials excess of social features and consequent conse-quent exploitation of wardrobes 1 4 5 0 Mrs Rebecca D Lowe president of I the G F W C In a recent Interview I regarding the womans club and Us dn I llucnce upon the women of today asserted I as-serted that clubs have brought to hosts of women joy out of sorrow light out of darkness and hope and courage out of despair and fear And she added As to the disadvantages of club life for women I find It dllllcult to discriminate discrim-inate because in all affairs of life what we call good and evil seem so Inextricably Inextrica-bly mixed I recall the story of the enthusiastic youth who started out with keen blade to slay evil On his righteous way he found much use for his steel but chancing to look behind him he discovered discov-ered that with the evil he had slain the good I am convinced that In the main tho club movement has worked for good to a large majority of Its members Mrs Elizabeth Cady Stanton was also Interviewed and expressed the opinion that club life for women Is a step in the right direction that it teaches them to organize meetings to study parliamentary law to discuss vital vi-tal questions and this Is a vast Improvement Im-provement on euchro parties and fashionable fash-ionable receptions Let them now turn their attention to government religion re-ligion and social ethics and so exert a beneficent Influence on public thought a o The Georgia State Federation of Wo mens clubs says the New York Tribune Trib-une has passed a resolution that at the next biennial of the General federation it will offer an amendment to the constitution con-stitution of that society which shall provide pro-vide that the General federation shall ho composed of white womens clubs alone Should tho plan for reorganization reorganiza-tion be again brought forward by the Massachusetts federation this step would not be necessary since the Gen era federation would then be composed only of State federations It Is charged that the colored clubs were tho first to draw the color line Inasmuch as the Association of Colored Womens clubs distinctly slates that the organization shall be composed of colored womens clubs |
