SIDE OBSERVATIONS. l
Remember, girls, you ought to b.
the sunbeams in your homes. You
should Be your mothers helper and
comfort, your fathers pride and your
brpthers' and sisters adviser and con-
.fident. Don't keep your smiles and
winning ways and acts Of kindness
for the friends outside, for they need
them more in the home circle and il (
Is the place for them. It is the first
place in all the world you want to
make bright and pleasant. You want 6
to make ii 50 attractive to your broth
ers that they will not have to find
pleasure By going out at night 70
mingle with the boys on the street.
Going out at night because there Is no
place for them at home is the frst
downward step for many a bright,
promising boy. You don't realize
what a power you are in the home
circle. A girl who is seen at her
best at home, always bright and
cheerful, is pretty sure to be favor
ite on the outside. Another word
for you girls who have the unfortunate
habit Of appearing untidy at home
and the pink Of perfection when you
go out. If you are guilty Of this
habit turn over new leaf and break
yourself of it. The girl who appears
on the street, looking as if she had
just stepped out Of a band box and
who goes around home with the but
tons off her shoes, her sleeves ripped
out, her dress soiled, her hair half
combed and her finger nails in mourn
ing, can never be a sun beam in the
house. Her untidy appearance frets
her in spite of her apparent indiffer-
ence and the discontented look hides
the sunny smile that she resurrects
for the benefit of her friends, when
she dons her neat and dainty attire
and goes forth to join them,

Fretting invites more wrinkles than
age. It is true fretting leaves more
hard lines in the face than anything
else. Take person of middle age
whose life has been serene and hap
py and who has not allowed herself
to fret, and make herself miserable
over trifes and things she could not
help, and you will find that time is
dealing very gently with her and not
leaving any AZ fdITo;wiiis 81 cars on thie
smooth face and placid brow to show
to the world the disappointment and
worry that is making life weary by
day and her dreams hoodoo at I
night. Take young person who
frets and compare her with the one
who takes life easy. Their faces are
lined with hard lines and wrinkles
and it is not the work of old Father
Time, but by the spirit of unrest and
the evil genius-fretting. It doesn't
pay. Father Time will get your good
looks soon enough and without any
assistance from yourself in inviting or
encouraging habits that aid in the
work of destruction. ..s85 0

There is one subject the Observer
wishes to mention this week, and on
which he will have more to say in the
future, and that is tree planting. In
thirty eight of our states tree plant
ing day has been established. It isa
good idea and if it was adopted and
carried out by all the cities and towns
n the states, there would be no dam
ger of a time when there would be 81
dearth in woods. Every now and
hen we find an article deploring the
.apid destruction of the forests and
If nothing being done to replace
hem. The native trees are rapidly
disappearing under the woodman's
* and the numerous forest fires that
'ccur every year from the careless q
less of hunters and others. The
rec planting should be encouraged.
