How to Treat Sweetheart.

From IN old New England scrap
book: When he comes To see YOU let
me give you few hints rs to your
treatment of him:
First of all. my dear. don't let him
get an idea that your one object in life
is TO get all YOU can out of him.
Don't let him believe that YOU think
go lightly of yourself that whenever he
has an idle moment he can find you
ready and willing to listen To him.
Don't let him think that YOU are 90
ing out driving with him alone, even if
your mother should be lenient enough
TO permit this.
Don't let him think that YOU are 90
ing to the dance or the frolic with him;
you are going with your brother. or
else you are going TO make up party
which will all 20 together.
Don't let him spend his money on
you; when he goes away he may bring
YOU box of sweets, book. or some
music; but don't make him feel that
YOU expect anything but courteous at
tention.
Don't let him call you by your first
name, ut lea.t not till you are engaged
10 him, and then only when you are by
yourselves.
Don't let him put his arms around
you and kiss you; when he put the
pretty ring on your finger that meant
that You were to be his wife soon. he
gained few rights, but not the one Of
indiscrimnate caressing When he
placed il there he was right to put a
kiss on your lips-it was the seal OF
your love; but if You give your kisses
too freely they will prove of little
value. A maiden fair is like bcauti-
full, rich. purple plum; it hangs high
up on the tree and is looked at with
envy. He who would get it must work
for it, and all the trying should be on
his side, so that when he gets it he
appreciates it.

"DO you think can get UP, Mrs. Steel?
should like to be able TO see Mr.. Penfold
when he comes home"
IF YOU feel strong enough dear, don't
see why you should not. We must ask the
doctors leave first. Hark, hear his foot
step on the stairs.'

man, with soft brown eyes and hair, OF
cheerful, brig disposition, rose and opened
