POETRY OF DAWN AND DUSK Whenever, of late I have happened upon a jeweled phrase or poem des criptive of the glory of dawn or the benison of evening, I have, in the man- ner of our old friend, Cap'n Cuttle, ma@e "a note on't," the delight with which I found myself hafling each new acquisition that yes- terday I turned ayocation to yocation So keen become | and the lower ground was all the sweetness of common dawn." For Wordsworth sunset and dawn are more than color. They are archi- tectonic. He says: "The lights of morning, even as her shadows, are architectural." He paints occasional but beautiful sunrises and sunsets in his long poem, 'The Excursion." But and resolved to have at one gathering | his inspiration comes to quintessence a whole bouquet.

For example, in "Hari, the Jungle lad": "Imagine to yourself the sunset in the jungle. The red-gold light vibrates over green walls of stillness; upon whose walls the many colored birds sing and croon. Suddenly the stillness from the trees rises like in- cene to the sky and hushe the bird voices. Down below in the grass for "Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" in which oc- curs that line which Tennyson said was the finest in English literature: "a sense sublime . . . Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns," But I must not allow Wordsworth to intrigue me into filling out my bou- quet, for there are others who write of the magic of dawn and dusk. Unex- pectedly I found a flower among the poems of Thomas Hardy: "Harth is.a cerule mystery, As if not far from Paradise, At four o'clock."

And yet we by no means fave up hope, for what are a few hours in a voyage of months? Both ships had sailed for "Gibral- tar and a market," and at 'ength, one morning, as daylight broadened in the sky, we caught sight of the mighty rock. At the same time, a low bank of mist lying off our beam began to Pass away, and out of it came a milk- ite ship, with a blue streak! -"There she is! there she is!" cried our men, with wild interest. "It's a fair thing now, and we're to have wind enough, too, by the looks of the ag clouds!" _ It began to blow freshy, although not too hard for all sail, and the two anxious skippers "cracked on" every- thing from the trucks to the deck.

Since fashion decrees simplicity of line, she is especially careful of de- tail; and since the jabot is most en- thusiastically approved of by the mode, this frock of polka-dotted voile uses one effectively, fashioning it of plain contrasting color to harmonize with the semi-mannish collar. The diagram, in lower right-hand corner, pictures the simple design of this lit- tle frock, which has each side of the front slashed and gathered over the bust, creating a yoke effect, while the back is quite straight and in one piece. The jabot is made from a straight strip of material six inches wide,-having the outer edges bound or picoted, and is tacked to the under- neath side of the flat plait which cov- ers the front opening. The pattern provides long sleeves. gathered into narrow wrist-bands. No. 1098 is in sizes 16, 18 and 20 years. Size 18 years requires 8% yards figured ma- terial; 3% yard plain contrasting for trimming. Price 20 cents.

Everyone has experienced the feel ing that prompts the spectator of a football match to raise his foot when a forward is about to shoot, or a boxing enthusiast to unknowingly strike his neighbor in the excitement of watching a contest. This {s due to unconscious obedience of muscular groups to com- mands issued by the brain. : To those who have studied the sub: ject it is easy to tell much--of a pa: tient's thoughts by such apparently trivial things as a furrow in his brow, or a sudden droop of the mouth. One specialist was able to find while blindfolded any object hidden in any part of his town so long as he was al- lowed to hold the arm of a man who knew its whereabouts and undertook to think of it the whole time. This was not a case of mental tele pathy, but of interpreting sudden con- tractions, however slight, of his guide's muscles when the spot was reached in which the object was hidden. The guide was totally unaware that his muscles had betrayed his thoughts. If you doubt this, try the following experiment: Suspend a pencil from a cord attached to a lamp bracket so that its point rests lightlyon a sheet of paper. Hold the pencil in the right hand, and then, forgetting its presence, recite aloud, say, the route you took that morning to reach your place of business. You will be surprised to find that the pencil has traced a wavy line which will approximate to the twists and turns in your journey. Doctors are well aware of this mus- cular phenomenon. By drawing a_fin- ger-tip across the abdomen of a pa- tient suspected to be suffering from kidney trouble, they can diagnose his complaint by the white line that fol- lows their finger.
