"Oh, no." she exclaimed. What would
do without green corn?" She was an
old-tashioned little girl, probably, and liv-
ed before the days of dry-air compart-
ments and refrigerator storage rooms.
Doubtless, now, she could have her be-
loved American dainty almost in its pris-
time freshness, for one of the signs of
the times in small way indicating in
ternational amalgation. is that this much
abused national vegetable, is now served
at English tables, and actually eaten off
the cob-that is, if the ear is broken in
two and held in one hand. OF course, IL
goes without saying that this as yet is
done only in very fsshion a HE sociefv tbe

corn, especially on the cob, very vulgar

A young man writes to Edward w. Box
inquiring who so many girls seem to pre-
fer the company of young fellows OF
slightly blotted character--men who have
seen the world-and in many cases marry
them, in face of the fact that their past
lives are known to them. In the January
issue of the Ladies' Home Journal Mr..
Box, its editor, makes this reply:
Girls, that is, the right kind of girls,
do not prefer the company of young men
of this sort. Doubtless. you have come
across instances where this rule has been
otherwise; so have /. But it is all in the
seeming, and not in the reality. Depend
upon one thing, girls have as high an es-
innate OF purity in man as men have of
purity in woman. There are, of course,
cases to the contrary, but these are few.
where girls marry men who are known
to nave led what is called a worldly life,'
it is more generally due TO misunder-
standing OF facts or to ignorance than
people imagine. There is a type of girl

conquest of man who has seen the

many years older before she discovers
that she has satisfied those feelings at
very nigh cost. There is another type OF
girl who rather fancies a man who is
what is called fast But that sort of girl
is painfully ignorant of what is meant by
that word as applied to a man. If she
were not she would be very apt to change
the adjective to vulgar And as she
natures she finds this out 1t is only
young men of upright lives who can hope
to win the favor and love of girls of
high motives, the girls who make the
best wives. If, at times, girls seem to
favor young men of another kind the
glamour is simply transitory. 1t is rare

of reward, and of the highest reward.
