We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength

The fact that it is the best

to why it does what it does.

IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER.

Massey sakes, Mrs. Lee, l dunno
whether 1 can take your young man
tew board or not. Yeou see | just got
word from my niece in New York
that a young lady friend of hers was
coming here tew spend the summer.
My niece was coming, tew, but her

she can't come jest yit."
well, now Aunt Lizzie Hayward,
what am l to do? This young mans
been disappointed in love-she went
and married some one else, l guess,
after leading him on, and it has prey
ed on his mind, so his folks are wor-
ried about him. His mother wrote
and asked me if wouldn't board him
here for Inc summer, it's so quiet and
peaceful. So l wrote her and said l
would. and now 81 has to go to Cali
fornia to settle some property of his
and says I have to go, too. The young
man is on his way and will be here
tomorrow, possibly"

MAKING USE OF PLAY.

How may play be made to form a
part Of the training for real life-tO
give it interest and intelligence? The
exhibition of domestic traits and the
accomplishment Of duty in this direc-
ton may not wisely be made perfume
tory, but it may be guided and en-
couraged by older people to the end
that the child may continue truly in
terested in home life. She may be
taught many things that will make her
an intelligent woman in the admins
tratiOn of her home duties. She may
be taught to dress her dolly according
to the demands Of the weather, to
keep the clothing in a good condition,
to set the little table in a careful and
attractive manner, to fashion the dolls
clothing in a becoming style, to keep
the playhouse tidy and wash the bits
Of china well. The fashioning of
dolls bonnets and paper dresses by
children has formed the foundation
for much good taste in dress. 1t
may be means also of securing
sweeter tempered children if one may
use this instinct of childhood by hav-
ing them try to teach their dolls to be
sweet and lovable. One may even
remind a child who is petulant that if
she gives way to temper she may ex-
pect her own children to be like her

New York is quite a large city,
Mrs. Hayward, and 1 do not think l
have met Miss Marshall BEFORE" said
the young man in response to Miss
Marshalls nod, though it gives me
great pleasure to do so now"
So these two met, equals in every
way, yet each bearing a peculiar re-
serve, as though trying to keep some
thing from becoming known to the
other.
1t was a beautiful day near the first
Of September, when all nature is
hushed and scarce seems to breathe.
A day that inspires solitude and rest.
Slowly these two were allowing
their boat to drift lazily along, each
gazing far away, seeing and yet not
seeing something in the dim distance
which they would vainly like to grasp
and call their own, but which slipped
from their sight as does the ever fit
ting sunbeam from the grasp of the
child who reached for it. Their boat
touched the shore and both woke
with start.
''Why, 1 had no idea we were so
near the Shore" said Mr.. Barton.
Let me find you seat near this
tree, Miss Frances, am sure it is too
pleasant to go in just yet. The day

ITO tell the truth, Miss Frances,

| Loved and thought l was loved in re-

sting away because she confessed
everything to me? I only loved her
the more. Had she been faithless l
could have borne it better, but to
think she was lost to me, make
my heart sick. In the spring they
were married A grand, solemn we'd

How very sorry l am for you, Mr.
Barton. How sorry you can under

GOOD RESOLUTIONS,
Don't Put Them Off Till the Fourth of
Univ

Don't Put Them Off Till the Fourth of
July.
1t should be understood that good
resolutions are usually, if not invari-
ably, against bad habits, none of which
we will specify, lest our readers accuse
us of being personal and having one
or other of them in mind. 1t is in the
nature Of good resolutions to require
the penitent to be constantly on his
guard; and while one may readily re-
member to do fine thing or a noble
thing when the chance offers or the
offensive way of duties), one is always
forgetting not to do the shabby or low
o. disgusting or wicked thing that one
vowed ones self to forbear; and it is
there that one hits gravel, as the old
mOralists say. We note the facts that
the reader will be instantly and fully
able to profit by them, but partly for
the psychological pleasure that their
recognition gives and partly in the
hope of suggesting, dimly remotely,
way out of the vicious circle in which
the reason ''eddies round and round"
1t is apparent at this glad hour Of the
infant year that we ought to form good
resolutions and not put it off till the
fourth of July or next Christmas. Yet
it is apparent that if we resolve not
to do this or that we shall pretty surely
do it, because we forget not to. On
hN ~ 0oi11 inch N
parent that if we resolve to do this or
that good thing we shall now and then
60 it, because the opportunity offers or
insists. The good resolutions ought
therefore TO be positive, and not mega
tive. in it's terms. This seems to us the
solution. and we commend it to our
readers. For ourselves, as we have al
ready limited, we do not feel the need
