vented it being employed to any great
extent outside the tropics, but the iew
modes Of evaporating, drying and pre-
serving fruits to a great extent obvtate

The productiveness and thrift df: the
guava bush is wonder. 1t thriyes with
less care, less fertilizing and less naseral
advantages in surroundings than any fruit

and will begin fruit-bearing in two YEARS
from the seed, producing two crops

The introduc' ion of any new frait: 20
pupular use is valuable improvement,
adding as it does so much to the food re-
sources of our people, and the guava has,
in flavor and nourishment, qualities which
commend it to attention.
There is an clement of safety TO frnit-
growers, moreover, in the cultivation IF
a variety of crops, since accidents of tenn
perature, drought or blight of insect pests
might destroy the entire yield OF one stir.,
while leaving others unaffected.
Now that so many capitalists are IN

considerations of this sort become Of
special interest and Importance, particu-

Do you really love me, Beryl ?"

"Do you really love me, Berylp"
A pair Of soft, lustrous eyes looked mp
inquiringly into the face Of Harold
Wvverne, and over the sweet, girlish face
swept wave Of pallor, quickly followed
by sunny smile, IS she saw by the ex-
preston Of Harold's face that the quee-
ton had not been asked in seriousness.
GLOW you frightened me-" she said,
trustful way that is 50 characteristic of
woman when she is about to lay pipe
for new bonnet. "lf you had been in
earnest, Harold, believe your words
would have broken my heart" and step
ping to the other side of the conservatory,
into which they had wondered after the
last waltz, che gazed steadfastly out into
the deepening gloom OF November
night.
Poor little birdling," said Harold to
himself, chow madly she lovea me! My
words, even though spoken in jest, have
affected her strangely, and she steals
away for an instant to hide the tears that
cannot be restrained"
Harold had never been arrested for
knowing too much. He was a young
man of singularly pure life and tight
pants, and never once had there swept
across the unfiecked horizon of his lawn
tennis and cigarette existence the cold
solid fact that after whirling in the
dreamy measures of q waltz even the
best of women love to steal awhile away
and stand unostentatiously on the side of
their feet in order that their corns may
throb untrammeled in all the buoyant
gladness of temporarily removed slip
per And so, when he started to cross
the conservatory, BeryPs quick move
ment was interpreted as thrill of JOY at
his approach, and there welled up from
his heart great flood of love for this
girl-a maelstrom of tender affection that
he could neither control nor explain. And
when he reached Beryls side he again
saw the lustrous eyes looking into his,
felt the dewy lips quivering beneath the
large, threestory-and-basement kiss that
he pressed upon them, and over all there
came the subtitle odor of the flowers that
surrounded them-6t incense indeed for
the altar OF pure and psssionless love.
| know you love me, darling" he said,
drawing her close to his sky-blue suspen-
der, and bending tenderly above the cor
onal of golden hair that her father had
agreed to pay for the first of the month.
q" | know it full well, and it was wrong
Of me-very wrong-to cause you pain.
Am forgiven p
For answer she twlned her white, gleam-
ing arms about his neck, and as he stood
there, willing prisoner in those dimpled
letters of love, she kissed him in the low,
nOn-reverberating fashion she had learned
st Vasar. Yes" she said, &c do love
you, and when we are married / will
prove that love by test whose potency
cannot be denied even by those who
sGoff at welded bliss. You will know
thea my love for you is not the ephemeral
tassion of day, but deep, enduring
current that flows on and on forever"
what is the test p he asks.

make biscuit. ."-F|ons "And Yet q Wo-

"Why surely, people don't go to
the doctors to have freckles removed,

a Hint TO Young women.

As rule, grown up girls have
more spare time than Is good for
them. Many Of the occupations
they are accustomed to look ON as
the tolls of their llves-fancy work,
paying visits, practlclng, etc.-are, rs
many married women and not few
girls could tell them, little more than
healthful aud pleasant recreations.
If any girl would but keep an &C.
count of her time for a week, she
would be startled to find how much
oft, if not absolutely lost, is trittered
away. She would discover that one
or two hours reading would hardly
interfere, If properly arranged rs to
time, with any of her amusementS,
and occupations, and would be sim
ply invaluable in giving ballast to
her mind, as would an hour Il day
devoted to the conquest OF modern
or an ancient language, or to the
study of mathematics.
Let girl, even if she cannot find
time for self improvement, give up
novel reading for time. She will
find the deprivation will be far less
than she would have imagined. and
may console herself by rejecting
that the taste for novel reading is
easily regained, while the appetite for
graver study cannot be found ii once
really lost. Girls VIII love good
poetry will be astonished how two
verses every morning while dressing,
ana to find how infinite treasure,
through their whole lives, will be
those 'jewels, which on the stretched
foretinger of all TINA, sparkle forev-
err" and which they have made their
own by committing to memory.
