There Is In the world a Paradise
That no man enters alone.
For only the light of a woman’s eyes
Can make the pathway known.
A sudden gleam, then a tender glow—
Behold he has seen the way,
And he leads her forth to the Joyful Gate
That opens this Land of May.
To her the very rocks lean close
And thrill to his love words sweet.
And to him the dust Is glorified
Because It has touched her feet.
Nothing Is false In this Paradise,
Nothing Is common or mean;
All blacker clouds fioat far away.
And show but a silver sheen.
But there Is a gate of passing.
And be It soon or late.
The two who wander through Paradise
Will come to the sorrowful gate.
The barren land of Reality
Lies ever beyond the walls.
And on, straight on, ’mid Its stony hills.
The path of the wanderers falls.
But the two who came through Paradise
Hold In their souls Its charm;
Its perfume clings to their garments still
And their hearts are soft and warm.
And as long as they journey hand In hand
They find neither hill nor stone
So steep or sharp as those they trod
While yet' each tolled alone.

Geography.
This game is of Prench-Canadian
origin. Players are seated in a cir

country. The player next to him must
then name a country, beginning with
the last letter of the word just given.
The next player uses the last letter
of that word as his initial letter, and
so on. About fifteen seconds is al

believe as “knowing nothing of such
things”; therefore, why ask her any
thing, why talk to her? “She would
not understand!” Poor child! If

With common sense and tact she has
won attention and respect of expert
enced housekeepers, who are grateful
to her for showing easier and better
ways of doing things. She thinks it is
wiser to show a farmer’s wife how to
make a good pie than to argue with
her about the unhealthfulness of all
pie. She insists that the farmer’s
wife shall have a share of his pros

in hearty sympathy with her, once
they are shown how to lighten the
wife’s burdens. One farmer who said
