DON'TS FOR LOVERS
By Everett Mcneil
FOR THE NAN
FOR THE NAN

MONT visit your sweetheart oftener than three
IL times a week. Give her chance TO miss you.
Don't attempt to buy her love with costly
presents theaters flowers, bonbons etc You wish
her TO love you, not your pOcket-bOOk-
Don't be stingy. Give freely what you afford
to give and more; and she IS the right kind Of
girl she will understand and appreciate you all the
better
Don't think that you own the girl the moment you
become engaged to her. There's many slip twixt
the cup and the lip" Besides modern girls do not
like to be owned even by the they love.
Don't forget to make treaty of peace with your
sweetheart's small brother sister. y little candy
and a few dimes judiciously bestowed will win you
an ally whose value is of all proportion TO size
That lover may we'll trernble for his cause who has
not won the friendship of the small brother
sister.
Don't be jealous of another mans attentions to
your sweetheart If she encourages them unduly she
unworthy of you: Drop herl If he gets no encour
agement from her. you have nothing fear: Rejoice!
If other find your sweetheart attractive, it is
compliment to your good taste: Be glad!
Don't forget to tell your sweetheart at least a dOz-
en- times every time you her that you love her
A woman is tired of hearing the words u love
you" from the lips that she loves.
Don't. when attending a social gathering, stick to
the side of your beloved all the time Give other
chance to talk to her, and yourself chance
talk other girls. Return to her often; and thus
show her the strength of love that will constantly
draw you back to her side.
Don't, when you call see your sweetheart and
her father and mother persist in sitting up with YOU
act if their company bored YOU You may wish
them buried miles under the Dead Sea- but don't
let them know 1t. Treat them with the most defer
ential poteness, as if they the only father and
mother in the unlverse-and trust to your sweetheart
Don't be of those knowing men who think
they understand womankind Only Omniscience can
comprehend a woman You know just about much
about your sweetheart you do about what the
weather will be next April Don't try to comprehend
her. Love her and thank God that she Is no worse.
Don't expect your sweetheart to be an angel She

good for you
Don't fall in love with a beautiful form and face
Love should look deeper than the skin and bones.
God sometimes puts beautiful soul behind a homelv
face; and conversely. Better be dead than welded
to woman who has nothing besides beauty.
Finally, don't be in a hurry to marry. Look long
and well before you leap; or Heaven alone knows in
what troubled waters you will find yourself struggling

DON'TS FOR LOVERS
BY Everett Mcneil
FOR THE GIRL

DONT attempt monopolize your lover. Give
l. him plenty of rope; but bring him up with
short jerk once in awhile, just to let him know
how firm a hold you have of the other end.
Don't gush him. Too much sweetness clogs
the appetite Always let him go from you hungry
again.
and you love him, don't be afraid ashamed to let
him know that you love him; but don't slop
Don't flirt with other Most look on a
firt in much the way that baby does rattle
box-sonething to be played with and then discarded
fool is the only man who knowingly will marry
hirt
Don't quarrel. Quarrels said to be loves cond-
ments; but true love has no more need of condment
than has piece of lemon-pe of salt and pepper
Don't attempt to measure the love of your lover by
the depth of his pocketbook especially if he happens
to be whose only asset is a moderate salary.
An extravagant wife hangs like a milestone around
mans neck The sensible man knows this and will
cut loose before it is too late.
Don't advertise your love to the whole world 1t is
sufficient to convince the man most concerned.
Don't measure your lover with talor's yardstck
1t is the in the clothes, and not the clothes
the man, that you to marry.
Don't idealize your lover. He probably is neither
better worse than million other men; and your
loving him will not make angel of him.
Don't forget that modesty at all times and in all
places is loves most sacred Don't tarnish
that crown.
Don't imagine, because your lover tells you that
you the most beautiful woman in the world that
he is telling you the truth. Love is blind and never
more blind than when estimating the charms of his
beloved.
Don't expect your lover to be saint. Few men are
Don't let your love blind you to all the rest of the
world. When in love you need to see what YOU are
doing even more clearly than when you are not in
love.
the heart
Don't marry to reform him. Reform him
before marrying; and be that the reform goes
clear down to the everlasting bedrock. A girl is a
fool who thinks that will do for her after mar
rage what he will not do before When
a bird is in cage, who longer fears its wings?
Finally, don't forget that love is the sweetest and
most blessed gift of God to mOrtal and that it should
be kept pure and white, free from lust and avarice
and sordid ambition; for the god of love is jealous
god and gives drink of the blessed wine of his rich
vintage of happiness only those who worship at his
shrine truly and unselfshy.

forgot how the people long before learned the
preciousness of the Yoruba confederation When, as
champion of the slave-trade the King and his AazonS
came late in 1882 to take Abeokuta, the people rose
to defend their homes, with the Christian
part of the population the forefront of the desperate
battle that drove the DahOmans back. After that,
Christian ideas longer openly opposed. Even
the schools for Yoruba children gave forth these ideas

The city of Abeokuta now has about one hundred
thousand inhabitants The majority of them are
still pagans, but weight of character gives con-

tenth part of the territory of Lagos Protectorae,

the four Kings is appointed paramount Chief for e,

stipulated that the rule which forbids of his rank to
leave his residence by day should not apply to him;
