Lyrics of Life
I
Liam's AHEAD.
I sat alone in all my gloom,
Yet moonlight came and filled the
room. .
The course of life seemed dark, un—
certain,
And yet a star peeked through the
curtain.
Though night shut down about me. I
Found moonlit world and stariit sky,
A thousand things to Journey by.
I needed but to.lift my head
To find God's constellations spread
Across His azure acres. burning
A chungeless lamp at ev'ry turning.
I needed but to look around
And silver was the world I found
“’here moonlight magic touched the
ground. ~
So often do we choose to dwell
“'ithin our souls as in 1 cell.
“'hen right around us moon is
gleaming.
\Vhen right above us stars are
beaming.
Vthtever path We have to tread.
If we will look. as l have said.
in: surothut there are lights ahead.

I thought of all the things that come
To man to niake his merrisome;
And gold is good. and fame is fine,
And prui‘ie is sweet. and lovc divine;

A apron is becoming passee.
As a frivolous accessory
The first sentence needs a foot-
note. Women wear what they
call work aprons, to be sure. but
these work aprons have expanded
until they really amount to little
frocks and from being worn over
the front of the skirt they often
are worn without any frock be—
neath at all. The changing of
taste and fashion as shown in the
apron department of any large
store would give data. for an in~
teresting chapter, in early twen-
tieth-century costumery.
'For generations an apron re-
mained an apron and nothing
more. Our mothers made them
practically identical to those of
their mothers. No one thought of
getting a. pattern for them or buy—
ing them ready made. They varied
slightly in length‘aud material
according to usage. “'aitresses
wore bibbed aprons with brotelies,
cooks wore them of checked ging-
ham. The maid of all work was
taught to wear a gingham apron
at 'work and hastily to don a
white apron as she answered the
front door bell. If she was ex-
peditious rho tied it as she went
through the hall. Now even ser-
vunts' aprons have become mat-,
~ter for skilfui work of designers.l
The Sunday-night supper apronI
is a newcomer. it assumes. first.
that you are in a measure domes-
tic—enough so to prefer to take
supper at homo than at a restau—
rant. It assumes that you have a
kitchen or a kitchenette or at least
a chafing dish and that you are
hospitable cnn'ich to ask others
to take Sunduyuight supper with
you w- for you certainly never
would go to the trouble of don-
ning so gay an apron if you were
getting supper just for the fam-
ily. The Sunday night supper
apron shown in the sketch is
.up its stunt! just behind the left
ear. -

The Grand Prix with its Chinese

Egyptian scarab tried to be last
