WE'LL MEANT WARNING.

Not long ago saw young man come out OF
church with a nice young girl, and as the side
walk was reached he rolled a cigarette, struck
q match, and cOmplacently pulled his obnoxious
smoke to the disgust of those walking behind.
If were that young lady never would walk
with that young man until he had learned that
it shows a lack OF good breeding to smoke in
the company of young lady. The other day
I saw young gentleman call for young lady
to take her driving. He assisted her into the
buggy and then deliberately crawled over her
lap to his seat. Isaw young man and young
lady walking on the street the other night.
He had her arm in that demOralizing grip call
ed the "clutch," and so near were they to each
other that the Siamese twins would have blush
ed to have been seen in such close proximity.
mentally thanked God that that girl was not
is too familiar, breeds contempt and the young
man loses respect for you.
Much of the ill-manners young men Of this
day display results from the want of dignified
and womanly stand on the part of young wo-
men. If see a young man squeezing or pinch
ing young lady's arm while talking to her,
or touching or putting his hands on her, feel
sorry for that girl. She has her standard. If
were young woman [ would enforce res
pect from every man. He should not bring me
to his level and thus be able to boast with his
associates OF the liberties he has taken. How
many foul blighting things do young men say
of young ladies with whom they are intimate,
A true gentleman will never say anything de.
rogatory to young lady's character, nor will
he compromise her i'll any way. l fear there
may be some grounds, however small, for these
lady has lowered her standard. i again urge
that young woman can not be too modest, or
too discreet. Young women, raise your stand
ard of virtue and morality high.-Ex.

They tell me twas the fashion,
Oh, long and long ago,
For girls to look like lilies white,
And sit at home and sew,
Forth strobe their sturdy brothers.,
On many q gallant quest;
But the maids behind the lattice
Their weary souls possessed.
To-day the times have altered,
And pretty Kate and Nell
Are playing merry tennis
In soOth, they do it well
They ride across The country,
They climb the mOuntain-slde,
And with oars that feather lightly,
Along the rivers glide.
If they've not yet been to college.
There are gong by-and-by,
To shake the tree OF knowledge,
Though its branches touch the sky.
For all their Greek and and Latin,
And porting over books,
With faces as smooth as satin,
They'll keep their dainty looks.
Do you want happy comrade,
In study or in fun
Be sure you'll find her quickly
Mid the girls of Ninety. one.
She'll keep that bright head steady,
Unframed in any whirl,
And not a lad will love her less
Because she is a girl.
