HARMONY CLUB
The write up of last meeting
of the Harmony Club held in the
lovely home of Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Starcke was not correct,
owing to misunderstanding, so
Town Topics offers supplement
ary work and suggestive num-
bers omitted in the fcremention-
od article. Tho programme was
as follows: Instrumental duet
by Mesdarnes McAfee and Ran-
some; vocal solos by Mesdames
Eugene Perkins, J. T Hasler
and W. J. Rogers and Miss Una
Craft; piano selections by M rs.
Ransome and Miss Helen Hill of
Austin. A guessing musical
contest afforded much interest
and amusement. The refresh-
ments consisted of chicken salad,
stuffed dates and grape juice
punch. At this Christmas meet
ing Mrs, B. I). Orgain rend tho
following poem and dedicated it
to the club. She claims no merit
for it and consented to its publi-
cation only at the urgent request
of the club.
THE SECRET,
2 wi.,li I knew the ceci-et that lulls it-
self in sonic,
As the silver-throated Oriole thrills
•weetly all day long,
In the lodges of the forest, or with
whis|>er]nK pines at night,
In the brightness of tho sunshine, or
the moon's soft uiellow light.
And nature has a secret, for which
n:an finds no word.
A\> hear it echo softly in the sing-
ing of the bird:
The bursting lnul> in Springtime, un-
folding on the sU'tu
Aro Heaving rosy garlands for na-
ture's diadem.
Or, every side are voices, so low, so
soft, so sweet,
We wonder if they're coming from
the violets at our feet —
From out the dreamy stillness, no an-
swer comes to tell
The mystery of the secret that na-
ture keeps so well.
The driving snows of winter, the deep,
brown, fragrant woods4
The green and golden banks of
moss, beside the brimming Hindu,
The thread-like roots, that grow so
deep l eneath earth's leafy mould,
These keep within tin ir mystic live-,
a secret yet untold."
The I'eep, dark caves of ocean, the
broad lake's mirrored breast
The aisles of arching woodland,
where evening shadows rest,
The voice of mountain torrents, the
call from leafy del),
These spoak to us of nature, but
keep her secret well.
Whence corres tfce r'>s> tto hue that
greets the rising davV
MVhivce goes the golden, glow as
evening fade* a uyV

The silvery veil of mist that wreathes
the distant peak
Is the touch of God's own hand,

Oh! heart of mine bo glad; the earth
and sky and air.
Are full of joy for thee, there's music
everywhere;
Go lorih to love and duty; that day
can ne'er be long,
Whose close still holds the secret that

estly did the players outer into

pleasure found in tnese social

the l ire pleasure of greeting

married and left the home nests

seasons homeward fly and then
are gone, leaving meanwhile
sweet memories of the happy
golden days.
