My valentine.

1t is many, many years, my dear,
since this valentine came from you,
Yet its faded splendor resting here
Thrills my heart as it used to do;
Prayed is its border of paper lace
With little winged Loves peeping through,
Yellowed by time the delicate grace
OF its wreathed forget-me-nots blue;
Dim, from its margins of fretted gold
Some quaint little verses still shine
kisses and ''blisses'' rhymed sweetly of oil
In my beautiful valentine.
Fond hearts pierced by the Archer bold
"Old-fashioned nonsense" you say,
Yet their story told in days of old
Is as tenderly true to-day.
Like white sails drifting adown stream
The swift years hurry along;
They come, and vanish in dream
With echoing laughter and song.
Laughter and song as they 60, my dear,
And with them measure OF tears.
But Love is the pilot, and so, my dear,
There never is room for fears
What if the weather be foul or fair,
You know that in shade or shine
AS in days of old, sweetheart, you are
Forever my valentine.

what a "Bounder, Is.
London Letter.

London Letter.
The word "bounder." invented some little
time ago in this country as an uncompli
mentary epithet applied to a certain class
of young men met in and out of society, has
doubtless become q familiar term on your
side of the water. 1t was only the other
evening, however, that / happened 10 knock
up against the comedian, Arthur Roberts,
in the Eccentric Club, and discovered that
he was the author offs the expression, and
coined it during the run of a piece called
In Town" in which he appeared as Capt.
Coddington.
In this rapid age" said Arthur Roberts,
you can't explain why you feel $3.50
toward a man; you haven't time to analyze
your feelings; you want something short,
so you say he's 'bounder, and it goes all
the way. A 'bounder' is an obtruder. If
you are having a drink he will come and
join in the conversation. He takes your hat
and leaves you his old one. He talks loudest
at table. He is Il self-adVertiSer, and is al
ways trying to push himself in everywhere.
He is loud. alike in his dress as he is in
his manner. In brief, he bounds, and there
he is. There is, of course, another sort of a
'bounder,' the beautiful BERTHE
type of one. He is often college lad and
is more or less harmless; but always a null
sance. In a general way, however, for a die
tionary, think the word 'bounder' might
be explained as one who bounds, jumps or
leaps q man with bounce about him; an
outsider, because he is outside the fringe of
society and wants to be in the reserved in
closure "

At Mhnt Axe should Girls Marry.

Sarah Grand, in the Gentlewoman
1t has come to pass that the modern girl
marres later in life than her predecessor.
She feels that there is no hurry and takes
plenty of time to look about her. The
healthy minded would generally prefer to
marry, but just at what age it is somewhat
hard to determine 1t seems to me that the
only possible answer to the question IS also
the most obvious, namely, when she arrives
at years of discretion. This happens at
various ages, according to the character
and capacity of the girl Some girls are sem
sible women at nineteen; some are never
sensible women at all.
The Amelia Sedley sort of girl is a sur
vival of the chattel period, and as she never
acquires the sort of discretion which is a
safe conduct through life it makes no differ
ence at what age she marries. She is the
clinging sort of creature who looks about
for a man to lean upon and generally finds
one, for men in theory still prefer her. They
sentimentaliZe on the subject in their youth
and talk about the ivy and the oak. When
they are captured, if they do not suffer the
fate of the oak smothered by the ivy, but
survive to tell the tale, they still cling to
their theory; but they spend the leisure
hours Of their middle age at their clubs.

adding that food was very short in their
camps. They ate the army rations given

truth of the latter statement. One who had

nerve.
