THURSDAY, AUGUST 26TH, 1937 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO YOUR WORLD AND MINE By JOHN C.

Andi when I see young vwomen in the street cars carrying about a movie magazine, I know instantly the quality o! her mind and character. It is quite right for "plain" young womnen to pay much atten- tion to their appearance, in a pur- pose to make themseives attrac- tive. It is quite astonishing what a plain young woman can do- or what can be done for her- to counteract her plainness. I suppose that most young wo- men look forward to marrnage, but a great many young women do not look far enough aheati in contempiating marriage: they do not consider the years beyond 30 anti 40. They just think o! the frothy years immcdiately foliow- ing marriage. They are quite un- ready, every way, to face the sterner years, when they may have to exercise much self-tienial and when they may have to carry on on an income, as earned by the husband, of say $1500 a year. The best husbands - meaning the men who wiil make the best husbands - do not want prize beauties for wives. The prize winners in beauty contests may some day be very, very sorry that they ever entered a beauty con-* test. A beauty contest is bad for heacis and hearts and pocket books and contentment and one's character. i OBITUARY Rev. Dr. G. W.

HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 371 A PAGE NINE 1 A tune is skiriing through my heart; I've heard it aIl the day. Its notes are wildly thrilling as a gipsy roundelay.. It sings of bubbling streamns that gush unbidden through the graâs And vagrant winds that leave the breath 0f Freedom where they pass. To-night I shall be sleeping with the pines above my head, The stars will be my windows and the hill will be my bed. While molten moonbeams shiver where the midnight waters f old Ere the morn ascends te greet me with her scarf of flagrant gold. On either side the emerald trees their st.alwart branches swing While fleecy clouds grow gleamning White against a bluebird's wing. The dappled paths our steps beguile and fancy roams at wili, And every dusk's a rendezvous with boon and whippoorwill. The broad gray road bef ore us like a dusky sheath is drawn Round hiilocks shot with sumach like the portais o! the Dawn. Through cloucis o! smoky blue-bur the craggy f ields blur by While every silver poplar breathes a slow ecstatic sigh. To-night I shahl be sleeping where the heron flaps his wings And the grass is deep and dewy while the fire-fly's lantern swings. The puise of Nature quickens as a west wind brushes slow Through misty wreaths o! campfire when the moon is drooping iow. -Selma Gay Bartlett, Bowmanvllle.
