By SOCIETY Susan Iden Miss Tread lightly! Hold thy breath! Something stirred the underbrush. Dryad? Oread. Gnome or fay? Yet the woods-light shows 'tis day, Only evening knows the way Elfin creatures travel. Hush! The light o'erhead is green, Gold, with glow mysterious. Does some fairy fleet and shy, Think the moon is riding high, Bold and glorious in the sky, All the starlight dimming? SPRING SONG.

Hark! That rustling comes again' How my heart is racing! Was it Puck or Columbine? Apple Blossom, frail and fine? Is a goblin, thro' the vine, O'er my shoulder peering. For a thrill half glee, half fear, Tremebles through my senses. Was it but the troubled trees, Or a message on the breeze? Only spirits ill at ease-Springtime spirits, stirring?
