A face made up Out of no other shop Than what nature's kind hand sets ope, A cheek where grows more than a morning rose Which to no box its being owes. Lips, where all day a lover's kiss may play Yet carry nothing else away. - Richard Crenshaw I've used with care the oval box, And tinted well my lips: I've stroked with red my pale cold cheeks, And smoothed my finger tips; My hair in waves is lacquered silk, My eyes are dark and bright; With care I've dressed--for I will stay At home alone, tonight. (W Craig Gee, in "Driftwind," May, 1934.) She: What do you mean, my figure's like a roller coaster? He: It takes my breath away! A young and bashful professor was frequently embarrassed by jokes his girl pupils played on him. The jokes were so frequent that he finally decided to punish the next perpetrators. The next day he kept two girls after school to work hard problems as punishment for playing a joke on him. It was custom of the school to answer roll call with quotations. The following morning when Miss A's name was called, she rose, and looking straight into the professor's eyes, repeated, "With all thy faults I love thee still," while Miss B's quotation was: "The hours I spend with thee, dear heart, are as a string of pearls to me." ("Quotable Anecdotes," by D B Knox.) If you were gracious as your soul, I could but love you less, Perfection cannot catch the throat, Like your dear awkwardness. ("Mortal," by Eunice Tietjens.) CHANCE Anonymous How many times we must have met Here on the street as strangers do, Children of chance, we were, who passed The door of heaven and never knew. Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever... ("A Farewell," by Charles Kingsley.) -6-
