With a dreamy and magical light; And the landscape lay as if new-created In all the freshness of childhood. Peace seemed to reign upon earth, And the restless heart of Was for a moment consoled. All sounds were in harmony blended-- Voices of children at play, the crowing of cocks In the farmyard, whirr of wings in the drowsy air, And the cooing of pigeons. Ali were subdued, And low as the murmurs Looked-with the eye of love through the golden vapours Around him. While arrayed in its robes Of russet and scarlet and Sheen of the dew, each gli Flashed like the pianetree the Persian adorned With mantles and jewels. Dear Miss St. John. "I am a business girl twenty-five years of age. I have had average success during my four years as a wage earner. But the office always holds "shades of the prison house" for me. Business bores me stiff. I can do all my clerical work with my brain. My heart's desire is to have someone to "do for,' some little spot to call my own, where I could pour out my very heart and soul in really liv- ing in my own way. I have gone out with many men but I never met one whom I could care for - until this summer. "it. never rains but it pours.' There are now two men who want to marry me; and I find one almost as attractive as the other. One is a smal town magnate-- a member of a very fine family. The other is a very interesting man of the world. They are equaly hand- some. How can I decide which to ac- cept? _ ANNBAELLE. Answer: You ask the impossible, Annabelle. You should marry the one you love"and only your own heart can tell you which it is. However, I may say that, judging from your letter, 1 think you would be happier with an interesting man than with a small town magnate. Why not wait a few weeks. Surely you can tell how the wind blows by that time. Wishing you god luck. | Dear Miss St. John: I am the manager of an office where quite a large staff of girls and men are employed. I am thirty-six and I am to be married next month to, a very fine girl.

My office staff gather the drift of our conversation and they are losing all respect for me. But if I take the girl out and my sweetheeart hears of it our wedding will never take place. What can I do with a girl like that, Miss St. John? | D. CR] Answer: I have no sympathy for you, Mr. D. C. R. On the contrary if you lose your lady love and your posi- tion also it wil be your just deserts. If you had been opénand above board with the girl you would not be in such a dilemma now. She has you in-her power and I would not help you if I could. Dear Miss St. Johu:: _ I gave up what promised to be a' ' brilliant career to marry the man of} my choice. We have a son tweive years old who is rather delicate. My | husband has not made good. I doubt if he ever will do so. Therefore I have almost decided to follow up my profession now.

You would long 'to return but pride would forbid. So you would be forced to eat your heart out in lonely exile from your own "small corner." Meanwhile your son would "just grow" like Topsy. What a tragedy if he went wrong for the lack of your love and help. Think long before you attempt to shake off the highest responsibility God gives to woman. INA ST. JOHN.
