CHILDREN’S GARDEN CIRCLE

Dear Members,— This week I received a very pleasing letter from “Mountain Rose,” and she sent in a beautiful poem that J. Lave much pleasure in publishing:— TREES 1 think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth Is pressed against the Earth’s sweet lh> ,• g 1,-.:.. A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray. A tree who may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair And intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me But only God can make a tree. —Joyce Wilmer. It may interest our many readers to learn that there is a forest named after Joyce Wilmer. Soon I will tell you all about it. Till next week—a happy time to you all. <{ CARNATIO.”

this artist was also loudly applauded. Mrs. Cooper, of Rapanui, accompanied at the piano. A playette, “A Marriage has been Disarranged,” produced by Mrs. Preston caused rounds of laughter. The performers were Misses Betty Dawes, Edith Smith, Thelma Taylor, Phillis Ayling, May Pearson, Dorothy Gordon, Eillen Watters and Mrs. Remmington. After supper, dancing was enjoyed till the wee hours of the morning. A word of thanks to Mrs. R. Anderson, Mrs. M. K. Laird, and Mrs. Norrie, who worked so hard to make the evening such a success. All the performers were presented with beautiful posies made by the members of the Childrens’ Garden Circle of the Westmere-Brunswick District.
