" Think over II Twice.

| We are such Inpressionab!e being
that nclth.r young lncn rOr maiden
should, as arul", do anything befor
thinking twice over it.
Swe"thearting, into which maiden
hood and adolescent manllness glide
~ naturally as ducks take to water
needs this sort Of carefulness mucE
more than anything else.
1T is easy 10 take a situation, {.
change the plac,. Of residence, to bnilt
up scheme, or to do a dozen other
serious matters
If failure comes, failure can be
borne. Sweethearting is generally ir-
revocable.
The careless kisses and pretty walks
glide on to marriage. Once ahoat on
the Niagara Of conrtship, people rush
down current which is irresistible.
And then the rude awakening comes.
Little telnpers and little faults creep in
through the cracks to an iIl-assorted
union.
Household cares prevent the wife
being as tidy IN once she was, and
business fret3 rub the husband the
wrong way.
Nobody is perfect, but forbearanco
and love do much to soften the irritable,
hard edges Of the existence.
If people, whose every taste and hope
is disninilar, have chosen each other
b'indly for the c'pa'tnership which is
for better or worse, then the rest Of life
is only the latter, never sees a glimpse
of the former. and frequently ends in
social disaster
"Think over it twice" A party
leads toan introduction and Sunday
walk An introduction 10 mutual
friends follows. Then d proposal and
engagement.
And all this time Cupid has been
playing his deadly game with people
who have only seen each other in
their Sunday clothes and company
manners.
When ayoung couple are face to face
with a household care or two which
can squall all night, and sometimes
does so-when the fresh com 3lexioned
girl gets pale and wan with the strain
Of dual life-when things 90 awry at

ners fly way.
1t is never too late to think over it
twice while everything has to be done.
" To think over it twice" when every
thing has to be done is to try to wrestle
with laws of gravitation. When all is
settled it is toe late to att mpt to begin
once again at the start,

The Secret Of q Certain Popularity.

"Flossie and met the lovely Mrs. q.
the other day. We've been just dying to
know her for ages, for we dote on celeb
rites, both of us. I never know what to
say to bright people. We were both a
little stunned at first, and we waited for
her wonderful learning to pour from her
lips. But it didn't come. She just
talked along as comfortably as any one
of us girls, and when the time came to
say goodbye could have kissed her.
only couldn't quita dare"
well, girls, papa said, what do you
think of herr"
"We went into perfect raptures, but
we didn't know why. She was just as sim
pie as she could be, and no one in the
world would ever have suspected that
she knew more than common mortals. y
''Did she happen to mention, in the
course of conversation" asked papa,
'that you had very nice set of teeth,
Fulana, and that the curve of Flossie's
eyebrow would justify man in writing
sonnet on it, or words to that effect?'
"Why, yes. papa; but how did you
know it?"
Simply. my dear, because I know
the best points in both of you, ard that
Mrs. z. has a magical knowledge of
every ones small vanities. Sic is o

know the entire secret of her wonderful
popularity, it is delicately favored, deli

Miss Dyas has never been troubled since.
Suppose you heard of Mary Andersons
adventure?"
"No."
"The last time she was in Leaven-
worth, Kan, she was pestered by the
attentions of lot of military officers
stationed at the fort. The fellows have
been for years in the habit of v:sitiD 6
the theater, going behind the scenes in
squads, and making violent oyertures 10
the women in the cast OF the piece. They
lead idle lives, draw big pay from the
government, and as they spend all
their money in the city OF Leav'
enworth, they practically run the town.
When Miss Anderson was out that way
last year, she was beseiged between the
acts. At first she treated the bold sol,
diers with digniged contempt, but when
one of them ventured to poke his nose
into her dressing room, she picked uI
her revolver and blazed away. The re-
suit was the ignominous flight of the
United States army, and the peaceful
| performance of the remainder of the
play"
