School For lrl Mr. Eric Parson, head master of the Pinehurst school, has opened the complete school course to girls. This course is essentially a college preparatory course, following the same lines that Mr. Parson has for some years developed in his teach ing at the Groton school. It is impossible to emphasize the im provement in equipment, and the oppor tunity that this presents to our neighbor hood. There is" no man in the country better prepared to do this work than Mr. Parson. The ladies of the staff will take the girls through from the lowest grades to the final examinations for college. This article is written upon request from a number of guests who were unaware that the school would provide equal facil ities for girls as for boys. letter Architecture Ieve loping If anyone doubts this let him saunter into the suburbs and see the tabernacles we were wont to attend, then go to West ISnd and rejoice in the real structural comeliness and artistic design of the new Methodist Church. Davis says the pulpit seats, communion service and all furnish ings were made right in West End and that they are good enough to go into Notre Dame Cathedral.

Perchance it has happened, mon ami, you know of my unworthy lays. Ah I Then, you must guess how my fingers are itching to talk to a pen; For I was at Soissons and saw it the death of twelve Englishmen. My leg, malheureusement, I left behind on the banks of the Aisne Regret: I would pay with the other to witness their valor again A trifle I assure you to give for the honor to tell How that handfull of British, undaunted, went into the Gateway of Hell. Let me draw you a plan of the battle Here we French and your Engineers stood; Over there a detachment of German sharp shooters lay hid in the wood. A mitrailleuse battery planted on . top of a well-chosen ridge. Held the road for the Prussians and covered the direct approach to the bridge. It was madness to dare the dense murder that spewed from those gastly machines (Only those who have danced to its music know what a mitrailleuse means) But the bridge was a menace; our safety demanded its fall I "Engineers Volunteers!" In a body, the Royals stood out at the call! Death at best was the fate of that mission to their glory not one was dismayed, A party was chosen and seven survived until the powder was laid; And they died with, fuse unlighted! Another detachment again ! A sortie is made again vainly tin bridge still commanded the Aisne! We were fighting two foes Time and Prussians the moments were worth more than troops. We must blow up the bridge! A lone soldier darts out from the Royals and swoops For the fuse! Fate seems with us! We cheer him; he answers our hopes are reborn! A ball rips open his visor his khaki shows red where another has torn. Will he live ? He dies I There a third one ! A fourth Still Germans take toll! A fifth maenifique! It is ma?ic! How does he escape them He may. Yes he does! See the match flares! A rifle rings out from the wood and says "Nay." Six-seven-eight-nine take their places, six-seven- eight-nine brave their hail. Six-seven-eight-nine! How we count them! But the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth fail! A tenth! Sacree nom! But these English are soldiers! They know how to try! (He fumbles the place where his jaw was they show too how heroes can die!) Ten we count ten who have ventured unquail- ing ten there were and ten are no more ! Yet another salutes and surperbly essays where ten failed before God of Battles, look down and protect him! Lord, his heart is as thine, let him live! But the mitrailleuse sputters and riddles him into a sieve! And I thought of my sins and sat waiting the charge that we could not withstand And I thought of my beautiful Paris and gave a last look at the land At France, ma belle France, in her glory of blue sky and green fields and wood. Death with honor, but never surrender! And to die with such men it was good! They are forming, the bugles are blowing they will cross in a moment and then ! When out of the line of the Royals (your island, mon ami, breeds men) Burst a private, a tawny-haired giant, it was hopeless but still how he ran! Bon Dieu, please remember the pattern and make many more on his plan! No cheer from the ranks and the Germans they halted in wonderment too See he reaches the bridge Ah! He lights it; Am I dreaming; it cannot be true. Screams of rage! Fusillade! They have killed him too late though, the good work is done! By the valor of twelve English martyrs The Hell-gate of Soissons is won. (Herbert Kaufman London, Oct., 1914.) 7 if GORHAM Gifts of Silverware The Christmas Sentiment That Endures r Of all the occasions for giving, more sentiment attaches to Christmas than to any other season in the calendar of human affections. And of all Christmas gifts, few so appropriately, express the enduring quality of the Christmas sen timent as a gift of Gorham Silverware. Its lasting character serves not only to commem orate one Christmas, but renews through many an niversaries, its message of goodwill. It is important to remember, however, that silver ware without the Gorham insignia and name is like Christmas without mistletoe and holly. This famous trade mark will give the simplest sil jS&fkjjs ver tribute consequence and charm. rS&r whereas its omission will be regretted like an absent friend. GORHAM SILVERWARE is sold by leading jewelers everywhere. COPYRIGHT lIS THE GORHAM COMPANY SILVERSMITHS md GOLDSMITHS NEW YORK Works -Providence and New York., A A 4 if 1 'r - f . Jerome D.
