You have dome foam and roam and not much more to use In your pome as some of our fellow countrymen call It As for 'world' you know that In all human probability somebody or something will be hurled into It or out of It its clouds may be furled Its grass lmpearled possibly something may be whirled or curled or wlrled" That paragraph about sums up the case When you get to the end of a line and are faced with the necessity of finding a rhyming word you have very few possibilities before you We have already ruled out false rhymes assonance incorrect spelling etc In a serious poem We know now that we base only a few words to choose from What to do? There are but two things for the real poet to do: First know a great great many words so that you will not be limited by ignorance as well as by the poverty of our language and then choose wisely all of your end words so that you will not be led up any blind alleys and find yourself Unable to go on with your thought Right here it might be pointed out that there are some words in our language that have but one other word that rhymes with them These are really difficult to use because you must of very necessity always have the same shymlng word Unless you are clever you had better use these Words seldom if at all Poe produced a lovely effect with such a word “curtain" when he " wrote: the silken sad uncertain “And ' Rustling of each purple curtain” There is no strain here Just a simple direct and beautiful use of the only two possible words Then there are still other words that have absolutely no companion or rhyming words In the whole of the English language Of course you can never use these at the end of a line that is in your rhyme scheme to have a rhyme To point out one or two of these awkward words: April and August month and enthusiasm furniture and nothing Make a list of as many words as you can think of that have no rhyming word Be sure that you are right about this Make a list of words that have but one rhyming word In English TRIBUNE JUNIOR RECIPES ' ' CHOCOLATE BAUCE teaspoonfuls of flour cupful of cocoa teaspoonful of salt "3cupful of sugar 1 cupfuls of water cupful of com syrup 1 tablespoonful of butter teaspoonful of vanilla aMlx the flour cocoa salt and In a saucepan Add the water sugar and stir well Then stir In the white com syrup Cook this for about ten minutes or until It is as thick as you want it Then add the butter and vanilla This Is good either hot or cold A little of this added to your glass of milk is very delicious It makes a good sauce for Ice cream or cake FAROL HASSELL B 4 1- -2 -4 1- -2 1- -2 1- -2 of painting but a great architect and sculptor He painted many marvelous “Madonna” pictures and his “Sls-tlMadonna" Is accounted by many the world’s greatest masterpiece of painting- -

He recalled the story of a man who In a similar predicament cut off the top o t the rope and attached It to the bottom This gave the prisoner a good suggestion which enabled him to lower himself to the ground This he did by dividing the rope In two equal parts and tying them together the Increased length being more than sufficient How did he do it?
