"tipkliag cymhal-"
Doa't imagine HAT felicity Of expression Is
bora OF itself, but that it is tho fruit OF long
years Of psinstakiuS culture, constant peFse-

failures can be traced to the self.eonceit whioh

hanniness is in being content with or doing
whatever nature has best fitted you TO do. Let
your ambition be to lain high and shoot
hard in whatsoever calling you are best

Don't imagine that because lady has
favored you with her company to q theater,
dance. public entertainment, or for q drive OF
the like, that you Immediately become vested
with an inaliena5le right to kiss, hug, or take
any liberties with her. While the average
we'll balanced girl rarely objects to timely
and iudieious amount of love-making, she

Rather pay manly homage TO the vivacious,
hesltbful. "true-blue" American girl whose
breath is as sweet es rose whose voice a.akens
the melody of saintliness, whose eyes glis:en
with the angel of unselfshness and devotion,
and whose every act and motion is embemati-

first of all demean yourself SO as to be worthy
of the former.
Don't allow discouragement TO take the place
OF a buoysnt persistent, manly eadeavor, but
remember that in all your affairs Of life, be
they business, social, domestic, political, or
otherwise. that
Nothing great is lightly won, nothing won is

Don't fail 10 let us hear from you oftener
through the columns of the NATIONAL TRrB-
USE. They are open to your we'll
as to the girls. Our worthy Editor has
sanctioned me to say that she is at all times as
glad to receive good letter frcn you as from
