FROM EAST TO WEST written by Frederick J. Waugh. Illustration by Cecil French.

Dawn. The Day rises out of the East, The Night sinks away in the West, Between them the hovering Dawn Is New Rose and the first welcome Guest. Day The Night is far down in the West, The Night is far down in the East, Between the Night hovers the Day Filled with life, joy and hope all increased. Dusk. The Night follows out of the East, The Day passes into the West, Between them there hovers the Dusk As the Sunset, Old Rose, fades to rest. Night. The Day is alive in the East, The Day is alive in the West, Between the Day hovers the Night Where th Dreamers in Dreamland are Blest.

LOVE'S AWAKENING. A moment of rose-lit gladness, And wise were the choice, I ween, To pass on the wings of madness To a dawn that breaks unseen ; For ever the dearest fingers Drive home the cruelest kinfe, And a deathless passion lingers On the unkissed lips of life. The Stories of withered ages Are written in blood and tears, The stain drips down to the pages That wait for the younger years. Yet over all human sorrow, And beyond grief's wildest dream, Love's pitiless waking morrow Stands eternally supreme. ----------------- Victor Bridges.

Alix Egerton の "My Lady of Pain"につけられた形となっているホートンのイラスト。独立作品かもしれない。

The sky is very black ; the rain pours down. Well, never mind it ; we will sit by the fire, and read, and tell stories, and look at pictures. Where is Billy, and Harry, and little Betsy ? Now tell me who can spell best. Good boy! There is a clever fellow! Now you shall have some cake.

Mrs. Barbauld.

第９号の中心となる大判のイラスト。右端の青い服を着た少女はどことなく東洋系の風貌をしており、おそらくPCSの自画像である。
