Ingleside, con. 167

Kipling’s finest poem, - by Carolyn Wells which
she termed, - “The Dresscessional”

Girl of the Future, feared of all
Chasing the far-fleeing Fashion line, -
What awful things may yet appal,
Hang on your form divine!
Girl of to-day, stay with us yet
Lest we regret, Lest we regret!
For foolish maid who puts her trust
In French tailleur, or smart modiste,
In valiant men of mien august
Without discernment in the least, -
For frantic fads of Fashion’s whirl,
Have mercy on us Future girl!”

The weaving of new carpets from old ones

satisfactory in appearance and durability.

Louisa T. Brooke brought one of Phoebe
Carey’s beautiful poems, - “The Better Way”, -

“I ask not wealth, but power to take
And use the things I have aright;
Not years, but wisdom that shall make
My life a profit and delight.
I do not ask for love below
That friends shall never be estranged;
But for the gift of loving, so
My heart may keep its youth unchanged.”

In contrast was Mariana Miller’s clipping
“The Voluntary Exile”, - those who are so
afraid of being asked to do something for
somebody they almost live like Robinson
Crusoe, “out of humanity’s reach”. Large-hearted
souls go about bearing the burdens of others
and usually never realize what a beautiful
service is theirs.

The Sec’y offered a scrap by Anne Warner,

"I do wish all tired people did but know
the infinite rest there is in fencing off
