ABOUT PEOPLE.

of these average people that is described by William C. Gannett in his poem


IN TWOS.

Somewhere in the world there bide Garden-gates that no one sees, Save they come in happy twos, — Not in ones, nor yet in threes.

But from every maiden's door Leads a pathway straight and true; Maps and surveys know it not; He who finds, finds room for two!

Then they see the garden-gates! Never skies so blue as theirs! Never flowers so many-sweet As for those who come in pairs.

Round and round the alleys wind: Now a cradle bars their way, Now a little mound, behind, — So the two go through the day.
