Y._ MANUFACTURED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA _WORLD WITHOUT END_ _Once upon a summer's night Mused a mischief-making sprite, Underneath the leafy hood Of a fairy-haunted wood. Here and there, in light and shade, Ill-assorted couples strayed: "Lord," said Puck, in elfish glee, "Lord, what fools these mortals be!"_ _Now he sings the self-same tune Underneath an older moon. Life to him is, plain enough, Still a game of blind man's buff. If we listen we may hear Puckish laughter always near, And the elf's apostrophe, "Lord, what fools these mortals be!"_ B. L. T.
