HoMEsEEKERs' EXCURSIONS
"reens, period of Life.

From the New York Press.
When does a person enter and leave the
teens" period of life? Is this period COM
prised between the thirteenth and twenti-
eth birthdays. or between the twelfth and
Nineteenth These questions are more i'm
portant than might be supposed at first
thought for they come TO us written on the
officiaI stationery of a well known insur-
ance company, and their gravity is en-
phasized by the accompanying statement
that Your polite attention will relieve the
minds of eighteen very agitated and per-
turped people" The problem is an eX-
trenely simple one, provided ii Is not conn
plicated by long reflections or the consult
tation of several dictionaries. Obviously,
a person Is in the first of his or her seven
teens" at the beginning of his or her
twelfth birthday. and the last one termi-
mates with the day preceding his or her
twentieth birthday. In other words the
teens period of life'' is comprised neither
between the thirteenth and twentieth, nor
the twelfth and nineteenth birthdays, but
between the end OF the twelfth year and
the beginning of the twentieth. After this
laborious and careful explanation, il would
seem to be only fair for the insurance man
to reveal why eighteen people were dis
turbed and agitated over this question. and
Just Indignation at his neglect to do so
prompts the addition of real difficulty to
the problem by asking him and them
whether q persons first birthday is that
on which he Is born or that on which his
second year begins. There is excuse for
more than eighteen people to feel aRitated
and perturbed over that.

The work was begun by the construction

into Montreal and dispose of it there.
In addition to the great development OF
