I HAD MY CHANCE
By MURRELL SMITH
[On Broad Street, where the sun goes down in drifting dane
j ing ckmds, a woman with a face like an angel appears
i slowly behind a screen door—her cigarette butt flies
into the night air—sparks shine vivid red tor a while,
then die—yet outside the tulips will soon be withering
up. I often wonder, “How your cigarette leaves a per
j fume of kisses?"
II saw my lover’s bosoon rise and fall as she walked all alone
! straight into my arms. 1 had my chance—my friend—
what peace—what tranquility! Her arms soft as silk
| enfolded me a thousand times seven—in the silent sweep
! ing night—in the silent night
jWhat do you hear, my friend? 1 hear the same refrain fro- 1 -
! a religious woman—mind your ways, my lad. I hea
| the same lyrics and rhetorics of a religious woman year
: after year.
tin the daytime I am persuaded to forget you by the lyrics
| and rhetorics of a religious woman. I hear the same
; lyrics— l hear the same rhetorics year after year,
ifln the nighttime I feel the delicate fingers of love that wi’>
soon overwhelm me; I feel you and I see you blowin '
cigarette rings across a gloomy table into tmy face.
I only know you arc a lovely woman blowing cigarette rings.
In the glow of darkness 1 see a lovely woman blowing cig
i arette smoke into her pink champagne. How wonderful!
i| How unspeakable- My lover spins her fantastic web of
•I love.
sfy hope, my joy, my grief disappears like thin ice upon the
!; Sound— my fingers move into your black enticing hair
that is E-flame and waiting.
;The winter vast, dark and black is over the sad and lifeless
s Sound has fallen asleep; the earth itself has knelt down
jt before you.
sAt night with longing 1 wait for you to see your black hair
£ on your red checks all aflame and waiting.
rAt night in the vast darkness I long to move my fingers
S' into your smooth black, black, black hair —I wait for
jj: your precious kiss that is as beautiful as an angelic web.
'atcr mouth enticingly twisted with a wicked smile that is
k. glazed with love—your black hair on your red cheeks—
aflame and waiting.
|ln the fierce and glaring night delicate fingers of love will
- soon overwhelm me ...
had my chance!

GRAY EXPECTATIONS IN DECORATING
||b
WZT? MWt»f IP Wm- WSm Wmit
Hi ■ ffct
hh Jr “ * M
Furniture in gray needn’t make you sing the blues. For (good
ness gray-cious!) gray can save the day in decorating. And using it
judiciously can make much more than a shade of difference.
Gray is the dominant color in the attractive room pictured
here. The print on the chair and repeated in the window treatment
is called Tiger Lily. The background is gray, the foliage, white and
beige. It’s a no-color look that is very lively because of the splashy
print. Without it, the room would lack spark.
This furnitutc comes from the Four Centuries collection by
Thomasville Furniture and includes bedroom, dining room and
occasional pieces.
In the foreground, the coffee table has a painted base. The
color is called Brushed White with Grey Trim. The wood finish,
Venetian, is a deep, richly hand-padded color which features
handsome grain patterns highlighted by old world distressing.
The bookcase makes an excellent focal point for the room. Its
size is only 26 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 81 inches high,
making it especially decorative for halls and other areas where
space is limited.
You, too, use your gray matter in decorating with discretion.
And your guests will praise your ways with grays.
