Cupology: How to Be Entertaining

by Clara

THE FOUR-LEAF CLOVER.
ELLA HIGGINSON.

I know a place where the sun is like gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

One leaf is for hope, and one is faith,
And one is for love, you know;
And God put another one in for luck--
If you search you will find where they grow.

But you must have hope and you must have faith.
You must love and be strong, and so,
If you work, if you wait, you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

OMENS IN THE TEA CUPS.

When, after making the tea, you forget to replace the lid of the teapot, expect a caller to drop in and share with you the cup that cheers.

THE GRACE WE SAY TO GOD.
[JEAN INGELOW.]

So take joy home,
And make a place in thy great heart for her,
And give her time to grow and cherish her;
Then will she come and oft will sing to thee
When thou art working in the furrows; ay,
Or weeding in the sacred hour of dawn.
It is a comely fashion to be glad--
Joy is the grace we say to God.
