Recalling the Regency
A PEBT LETTEE TO AN EDITOR
Dear Sir:
Tour of us went down to the Canal

some pictures and good fiction?

CHILDHOOD IS THE
KINGDOM WHERE
NOBODY DIES
Childhood is not from birth to a cer
tain age and at a certain age.
The child is grown, and puts away
childish things.
Childhood is the kingdom where no
body dies.
Xobody that matters, that is, distant
relatives, of course.
Die, whom one has never seen or has
seen for an hour.
And they gave one candy in a pink
and green striped bag, or a
jack-knife.
And went away, and cannot really
be said to have lived at all.
And eats die. They lie on the floor
and lasli their tales.
And their rcticent pur is suddenly
all in motion
With fleas that one never knew
were there,
Polished and brown, knOAving all
there is to know.
Trekking off into the living world.

too small, because she won’t

So you find a bigger box, and bury
her in the yard, and weep.
But you do not wake up a month
from then, two months,
A year from then, two years, in the
middle of the night
And weep, with your knuckles in
your mouth, and say. Oh, God!
Oh, God!

BE MY VALENTINE
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE TWO)
Now we are come to the age when
it is said that it doesn’t matter to
us who the sender is just so long as
he comes across with a telegram, box
of candy, or some flowers. But nat
urally each of us consider herself the
exception to the rule, the one girl
out of ten who cares and the one
who years later when she “finds it
in an old desk, tucked carefully
away—a little faded Valentine that
speaks of yesterday” will* thrill at
the thought of ’s remembering
her.
If you aren’t planning to go
snooty this spring and keep your
nose way up in the air your new
spring chai>eau is, most of a cer
tainty, going to get ahead of you!
(and no puns meant either). ” Its
brim (the hat’s not the head’s), is
going to shoot forward like a nose
dive into the future, preceding you
about two jumps like a*i advance
guard. Above all beware of revolv
ing doors and Saturday afternoons
in town if you wish to retain your
girlish dignity. The crowns of the
new bonnets liave fallen, the rears
are practically non-existent and you
are all big bad front when you
finally decide maybe you don’t look
too, too awful in them.
If you really want to be the very
acme of sophistication this spring,
bring out your last spring’s navy
blue suit and purchase a pink hat,
pink gloves, and perhaps a pink and
blue cravat. If your Easter prospects
don’t look rosy now, It’s not your
fault.
Other friendly tips can be tossed
off as follows:
Skirt lengths: A shade shorter by
day, and at night shorter in front
evening skirts and uneven hem
lines.
Fabrics. A big moment for tweeds,
and in the evening for diaphonous
fabrics like chiffon, net, lace, tulle,
and Indian groups. Checks and
Childhood is the kingdom where no
body dies that matters,—moth

Up the last jar of raspberries;
they are not tempted.
Flatter them, ask them what was it
they said exactly
That time, to the bishop, or to the
overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;
They are not taken in.
Shout at them, get red in the face,

Drag the men out of their chairs by
their stiff shoulders and shake
them and yell at them;
They are not startled, they are not

Colors: The inevitable tidal wave

He ended with this inspirational

will last as long as life itself and
nothing whatever can take it away

FAMILY SIGNS
You can always tell where a family
lives,
By the gay effect that the hallway
gives
There are hooks arranged in a nice
straight row.
And the coats grow shorter and
shorter, so
At the first glance you can surmise
That the people vary in shape and
size.
Hats that have streamers mean little
girls.
With perky haircuts or ribboned
curls.
A wagon and ball and bat reveal
That a boy lives there! and a slim,
high heel
On an overshoe is a certain clew
That a grown-up sister’s an inmate,
too.
A doll that flopped with a broken
neck,
A toy train hunched in a pleasant
wreck—
The rooms may be still as a sleeping
mouse
But you know there’s a family in the
house!
—Helen Welshimer.
