PRAYER

THE PRESS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

We hear the burden of the Bonus

Is to be our children's onus:

Thus our fervent plea will be

For happy prolificity.

I doffed my robe, slipped into the pool, and was soon swimming quietly in the water--Eleanor Roosevelt in her column. My Day, in the N. Y. World Telegram.

It is the bathing hour;

The cares of state,

Of literature insatiate,

Furniture and education,

Are abandoned in natation,

For Eleanor is swimming quietly.

No flailing strokes nor splashing kicks.

Propel her through the water:

She floateth here--she glideth there.

This Democratic daughter.
