BEING A BACHELOR
Fa -his essay an "The Bachelor Tax” Mr Dooley corrects the mistaken feminine idea that men. are unhappy because they have no .one to darn their seeks.-■ “Th* truth is a man is pet onhappy because his socks ax-re not d-arned. but because they ar-rc." When flhe bachelor gets a hole in his hosiery, he throws them away, says Mr Dooley, -but'' the poor married man has to wear them darned, and yon can. know him by his hobble a block away.
THE LIGHTS OF HOME As the stars the heavens sprinkling, with a far-off, frosty twinkling Bay a sign of God to God-aspiring man. So the little carth-stara beaming Hash a message through their gleaming Of tho love wherein tho household fires began. Gentle hands have sot the friendly lamps a-burning; Gentle shapes behind tho curtains go and come; Ay the homeless pluck up heart amidst their yearning When they see tnc lights of home! —Dora Goodale.
