When the weather's made to order; that's the time of year for me; At evening you figure what tomorrow ought to be, And you wake up in the morning with the sun a-shining bright And the maples all a-glinting over on the moun tain height, And a mist is on the river, with a faint and frosty sheen, And it rises like the curtain in a transformation scene; The air's like vapored nectar as it billows o'er the lea When the weather's made to order: that's the time of year for me You may sing of May and April, with the blos soms and the rain, And of summer with the roses, which the ruthless frost has slain; But those fleeting, fickly moments, like a falsely smiling friend, Inspire a joyous hope, but to destroy it in the end. 'Tis gentle, generous autumn, with the bounteous bending bough, -That comes all even tempered, with a calm, un- ruflled brow And bids you cease to ponder as you wander, fancy free; When the weather's made to order; that's the time of year for me. Washington Star. When Betty Smile. When Betty smiles, then waves of light Seem flooding all the room, And howsoever dark the night, Dispelled is all the gloom When Betty smiles. When Betty smiles, her eyes of blue Are deep, deep wells of love, And, like the heavens and sea, as true, Though clouds may float above When Betty smiles, When Betty smiles, her dewey lips Slow part, and lo ! pearl gates Do make one pause, or, ere one sips, To thank the kind, good Fates When Betty smiles. When Betty smiles, all love is true And truth is fraught with love, As at her shrine we humbly sue For this dear gift of love When Betty smiles. L'ENVOI For Betty is a tiny miffs Of four or thereabouts, And all is joy and light and bliss That scatter all our doubts When Betty smiles. M. G. G., in 08 ton Transcript.

EXGLISII PRAISE TIIAVIS. llritisli Critic Eulogize Golf at Played in America. The Englishmen are still talking about Walter J. Travis' victory in the open championship and these comments will be of special interest to the readers of The Outlook, many of whom have met Mr. Travis during his frequent visits to Pinehurst to enjoy golf. In a recent issue of "Golf Illustrated" Horace G. Hutchinson has a great deal to say about the "American invasion of the English links," which is of interest. Mr. Hutchinson begins his article with a question. He asks. "May one say, without straining too hard the bonds of amity between nations, that the great fea ture in the British golf of the passing year has been the American invasion and its conspicuous success?" Continuing, he observes : "A great deal has been said and writtenindeed, far too much about Mr. Travis' place as a golfer, but it is quite certain that whoever doubts that Mr. Travis is a fine player makes a vast mistake. That he was fortunate in winning the championship is no less cer tain, and to say this is to make no de duction from his prowess, for even if we are to suppose that he was the strongest player in the competition (which is a large assumption), still it is certain that the Very strongest player in a competition of that kind must have a little luck to help him if lie is to come out right on top. "Mr. Travis comes from America and at the first time of asking wins this dis tinction for which such players as Mr. Hilton and Mr. Maxwell have had to wait years and years. It is obvious that he was a favorite of fortune. At the same time, the merit of his game is quite beyond de nial. There is not a man of any judge ment of the game who saw his play in the championship who does not confess that such putting never was seen before. "Without a doubt, we all made the mis take of not taking seriously enough the golf of Mr. Travis and of other Ameri cans. Incidental!', it may be said that by the light thrown on affairs by the win over here of Mr. Travis and by the per formances of other Americans in their own country, it becomes evident that our visiting team to America of the Oxford and Cambridge Golfing Society did bigger things than we credited them with when they won a great majority of matches in that tour. The fact that they won so large a percentage made us disposed to under rate their opponents." Further on in the article Mr. Hutchin son adds : "We have to remember also that the year has taught us that there are other players in America and other Amer ican players besides Mr. Travis. There is Mr. Chandler Egan, there is Mr. Byers, to mention but two ; in fact, the scores that the American golfers made on courses of a known length ought to have shown us, before Mr. Travis came to prove it to us, that American amateur golf was neither a quantity nor a quality to be neglected." Not Inspiring. Lives of great men all remind us They have been with genius hlest; And have left such whopping footprints They discourage all the rest. N. Y. Sun.
