The Lighthouse
VILLANELLE OF
SEA-WITCHES
Milk-white sea-witcheS glimmer
through the green,
Slow-moving currents of that
deeper sea
Where drifts the treasure long
dead gods have seen.
They bear an ancient dignity of
mien,
But they are bound the while
they would be free.
Milk-white sea-witches glimmer
through the green
, And never know the sweep of wind
flung clean
On pounding wave—held by an
old decree
Where drifts the treasure long
dead gods have seen.
Curving the dimness with their
lucent sheen,
Holding their court in wraith
— like royalty,
Milk-white sea-witches glimmer
through the green
I
And weave faint spells, to snare
hearts over keen
/ In wonder—knowing men rest
quietly
•Where _prifts the treasure long
dead gods have seen.
Pearls are largesse they would
not stoop to glean,
Drowned men are only play
things of the sea—
Milk-white sea-witches glimmer
through the green
Where drifts the treasure long
dead gods have seen.

FAME!
To be congratulated: The man
who made himself a counter at
traction to the Penn-Cornell. The
entire South stand did a Ben
Turpin—while said gentleman
was being escorted off the field by
three policemen, just as Cornell
was about to make its first touch
down. And if we hadn’t seen this,
we would have sworn that no one
could possibly have taken even
half an eye off that game.
“Paris, that once set the pace
for its fashion conceits purely on
its own initiative, has capitulated
to American tastes.” And can
any bright little boy or girl tell
us why the fact that skirts are
getting shorter proves this state
ment? Right, Oscar, America is
the only nation that can afford
to wear ’em silk all the way up.

Realty Board Starts Probe,
headlines the Press. The Realty
Board always was progressive,
and the city owes its due thanks,
for what is home without a probe?
Nothing around here has been
probed for a long time, and in
terest in public affairs has been
falling off in consequence. But
now the probes have started and
we’re on our way. We expect, in
rapid succession, a Political
Probe, an Educational Probe( a
Liquor Probe, etc., etc., etc. Which
is all to the good, because that’s
a noble word, and life is lonely
Without it.

Mr. Percy Remington, is one of
Philadelphia’s many property
owners and summer residents
that have visited Longport during
the last two weeks for the pur
pose of getting positive informa
tion concerning the shifting of the
channel away from Longport to
wards Ocean City. Local men,
who have spent a large portion of
their lives watching new beaches
being built by the Ocean while
other beaches were being washed
away, assure us that the shifting
of the channel away 'from our
beach is the best thing that has
happened to Longport in the last
twenty-five years.
