AUNT N LETTER.

hope you all read the letter in last
weeks issue written by Mrs. s. E. ID, l
like her independence, About the only
fault I 6ud with our circle is that most
members seem afraid to express opln
ions different from those held by other
members of the circle and in this way
many beneficial and entertaining dis
cussions are avoided. Mrs. 8. E NJ,
tells plainly why che does not agree
with other members. Come again,
you are always welcome.
Mrs. J. L. D. wrote interestingly Of
herself and what life has taught her.
All Of us can learn several valuable
lessons from her letter if we will "have
a care" to remember that experience
has been her teacher. These two let
tiers came last week too late for Gem
ment.
This week we have with US Faith
and The Dreamer. Now, Faith, you
should not have so little confidence in
yourself. Your name implies trust

tie we'll said is far more desirable than
much of no value.
And it is an actual fact that we have
a Dreamer in our band of contributors.
Some of his dreams are very real facts
and I must think that he was on the
alert with both eyes open and his pen
and brain both busy when he gave
them utterance on paper. Tell US
what you think Of his theories.
We trust that these and others will
call again very soon. Many many,

RULES FOR GIRLS WHO LONG TO
BE POPULAR.

1 Remember that q good voice is as
essential to self possession as good ideas
are essential to fluent language. The
voice should be carefully trained and
developed. A full, clear, flexible
voice is one of the surest indications of
good breeding.
2 Remember that one may be witty
without bsing popular, voluble without
being agreeable, q great talker and
yet a great bore.
3. b sincere. One who habituallv
sneers at everything not only renders
herself disagreeable to others, but will
soon cease to find pleasure in life.
4. b frank. A frank, open coup-
tenance aud a clear, CHEEKY laugh are
worth far nor even socially than
"pendantry in a stiff cravat."
5. Be amiable. You may hide a vim
dictiVe nature under q polite exterior
for q time, as q cat masks it's snarp
claws in velvet fur, but the least provo
cation brings out one as quickly as the
other, and Et-latured people are al.
ways disliked.
6 Be sensible. Society never lacks
for fools, and what you may
consider very entertaining nonsense
may soon be looked upon as verv
tiresome folly.

A mother and daughter walked
along a country road. The daughter
carried a modern novel, the pages of
which ran into the hundreds.
A great moral, or great truth, was
contained within. The daughter spoke
of the truth conveyed by the famous
writer through the medium of the
pages, but the mother did not approve
of the method of teaching ever truth.
1t was not that she doubted the truth
was there. She knew the teaching of
the book was not evil. The book was
the story of erring human nature.
1t was realistic. It portrayed the
temptations, the sins and vices Of some
of Gods people. The daughter said
she read only for the great truth it
contained.
As they walked they passed a barn.

filth. The air was filed with sicken.

by the wayside. She held it toward
her daughter. us it not beautifully
she asked.
''It is perfect" answered the daugh,

The mother cast the rose from her
into the midst Of the mud and filth Of
the barnyard, and babe her daughter
60 and pick it up.
The daughter, instead, lifted up her
dainty skirts and walked away. She
preferred clean shoes to the rose.
ut yet is a perfect rose," remarked
the mother.
But I must wade through filth for
it."
1T is still fragrant"
True, but not fragrant enough to
kill the odor of the barnyard that will
cling to me-"
The mother said no more, but walked
on. The daughter followed. The
mother glanced back. The book. in
pieces, was flung into the mire.-Jaan

The DREAMER

DEAR AUNT JENNIE:-I have been
silent for quite a while, but, to tell you
the truth, the others can write so much
better letters than I that I am almost
ashamed to write. The Social Chat
grows better with every issue.
l would like to know what has BE-
come of r x7 I think he should help
defend Twenty-One. I guess he has
discovered that Wa girls have the best
Of the argument and as he hates to
surrender to us, he will keep silent. But
Rex, please don't come to that decision 4:
let US hear from you. Argue for your
side and help make the Social Chat
more interesting, if possible.
Eva Plamondon certainly has the
praise of being the best writer belong
ing to our circle. Her last letter was
just beautiful. Please les US hear from
you again soon, Eva.
Water Lily hasn't Wr1 ten in quite a
while. She is a good writer. In fact
we have no common writer's belonging
to our Circle with the exception of
myself. I think tbs Circle very inter
esting. I would be highly pleased to

you will excuse my short rambling
letter. With best wishes for Aunt

otherwise punishment is unintelligent,
and becomes revenge, the gratifca-
ton of bad temper. The test of char
acter for every parent or teacher is
the spirit that controls him when pun
ishment is inflicted for offense. One
thing is certain: punishment must be
administered on principles; its value
in character building depends on this.
To punish for an cf9nse one day that

YOUNG MEMS PROBLEMS.
STARTING A YOUNG MAN RIGHT.

''If more fathers would take a course
with their ions similar to the one my
father took with me" observed one OF
the leading business men of Boston,
the boys might think it hard at the
time, but they'd thank him in after
life."
"What sort of a course9" we asked.
"Well, I was q young fellow of
twenty swo, just out of college, and !
felt myself of considerable Importance.
I knew my father was well off, and my
head was full of foolish notions of hav
ing a good time and spending lots of
money. Later on / expected father to
start me in business, after I'd 'swelled'
a while at clubs and with fine horse
flesh.
Like a wise man, father saw
through my folly, and resolved to pre-
vent my self destruction. if it were
possible.
"'It the boys got the right stuff in
him, let him prove it, I heard father
say to mother n day. I worked
hard for my money, and I don't intend
to let Ned squander it and ruin himself
BESIDES
That very day father came along
and handed ms fifty dollars, remark
ing, Ned, take that money, spend it as
you choose, but understand this much;
it's the last dollar of my M 1ney you
can have till you prove yourself Capa-
BILE of earning money and taking care
of it on your own account
Il took the money in a sort Of dazed
manner, and stammered out, I-why-
IL want to go into business"
"'B 1sines- ! exclaimed father, con-
temptuously, what do you know about
managing the mercantile business9
G 3t a clerkship and learn the alphabet
before you talk to me of business
And father left me- then to ponder on
his words. And that fifty dollars was
the last money my father ever gave
me, till at his death I received my part
of the property by inheritance.
Il felt hard and bitter then, felt my
father was a stingy old fogy, and
mentally resolved to prove to him that
I could live without his money. He
had reused my pride-just what he
intended, I suppose.
FOR three days I looked about for a
place to make lots OF money. But I
found no such chances, and at length /
accepted a clerkship in a large retail
store at $500 a year.
Another bit of fathers 'stinginess'
at this time was demanding two dol
lars a week for my board through that
first year.
"At the end of my first year I had
laid aside $500, and the next year, my
