SOCIETY NEWS NIGHT-PIECE. I comv alone from suma bath at night While overhead great Vega shines, a queen, Like w iute-clad maidens birches flicker blight As all around my homeward path they lean. My father's land has birches too, he said. And cool, dark flowing streams like tin- 1 now Alu.-t . w mi aero-· to reach my peace oed, And peuple known for keeping every vow. The stones are rough, the water black, but see— The lair sweet star is floating there serene. My country this, America the five, Suomi far off 1 have never seen. Yet do 1 pray her midnight plungi will give Again, to quiet folk their place to live. Fred'eric Arden I'awley Week-End Ilerc. Zola F.
