A WORD TO BOYS
IN LOVE-.
BY DOROTHY FENI.NORE.

- HAT lovers vow. Il would die
ASfor you,' sounds as if it were
JWC something fine. There is an
aroma Of self sacrifice about it which
is calculated to tickle the nose Of god
dess who is enjoying her first season
on the Olympian heights of social popu-
| larity.
But why, pray, should a girl want a
man to die for her? 1t is plainly more
to. her interest to keep him to run
errands, to sit out dances with her on
a moonlight night or to write her ten
der letters when she is lonely.
Dying is a decidedly cheap way of
showing devotion. Anybody can do it.
And those who proclaim themselves
heroes in advance are not the ones
with whom it is safe to go to the
| theater on gallery tickets.
I would feel more complimented to
have man want TO live for me. And
man whom + had refused to marry
had spunk enough to try conspicuously
to show me he could live in spite of
me, I should nots feel so certain that
the love which had refused was worth
that there are just as good fish In the
sea-" he could not have been really in
love.
A brave man is not afraid of the
future because the present hurts him.
He goes on his way with his head up
and does the best. he. can. And if he
has been irremediably disappointed In
love he treasures In the quiet places
of his heart the belief: THE love 1
offered her was the flower of my life.
/ am proud of it. 1t is no common
thing. And I'll not let 1t wither In the
dust" So he puts his love to good
uses.
Do you not know some man who is liv-
ing for the girl he loved in his youth,
but did not marry? / know such one.
He was described to me the other day
as "a friendly kind of lonely fellow"
His little unobtrusive acts of kindness
to friends and strangers make the
world happier place for many people
in it. Thus every day he pays homage
to the woman swhom he loves, and is
better for It, And surely ii must be
sweet to her to know-as I think she
does-that he loves her in so generous
a way; and she, in turn, must be the
better for 1t.
So much for the mans VOW, 'I would
die for you" With the boy who loves
and wants to die / have more SYM
pathy; though 1 really can't help it if
my lips smile over the matter while
my eyes weep. There is just step
between smile and tear, you know
right over the bridge of the nose.
Boys are so terribly in earnest that
now and then their emotions need a
straitjacket. They have not learned
what it takes years of experience to
learn, that human beings. like cats,
have many lives-that we die over and
over and over again before there comes
to US at last the end of this life. and
cessation of mortal suffering. They
despair, without knowing what time
only can teach them, that despair is
just hope gone to sleep for while,
presently to awake with all the fresh
strength that comes with the morning.
Boyhoods sorrows are genuine and
deep-while they last-but the ex-
preston of them is not always sincere.

BIG FAMILIES
OF THE
0LDEN DAYS

The north of England seems to be a
fertile soil for large families, for in
1897 we read of a Cumberland man
and his wife, accompanied by thirty
of their children, all attending the
christening of the thirty-ffrst child,
and in earlier years another north
countryman, Thomas Greenhill, ap-
piled to the then Duke of Norfolk,
early marshal, for an augmentation to
his coat of arms on the singular
ground that he was the seventh son
and thirtv-ninth child of one father
and mother"
In Conway churchyard there was to
be seen-it can scarcely be there to-
day-a tombstone bearing the follow
ing remarkable epftaph: Here lyeth
the body of Nicholas Hooker of Con-
way, gentleman, who was the forty
first child of his father, William
Hooker, by Alice. his wife. and the
father of twenty-seven children, 1887.
If a mans family be considered as
including all his descendants that OF
Peter Smith, who flourished in New
Jersey in the seventeenth century, is
entitled to a high place of honor, for
at recent annual gathering of Peters
progeny no fewer than 1000 met and
dined together under the apple trees In
the orchard attached to the ancestral
homestead.
In families it is not an unknown
thing for one child to be old enough
to have a sister or brother young
enough to be his or her great-grand-
child. Thus the eldest son of Thomas
Beatty of Drumcondra has passed his
seventy-third birthday when his
youngest brother qualified for the
cradle. When William Frost of Gal
play, near Ripon, died in 1888 his eld-
est child was a sturdy boy of SS sum-
mers and his youngest was barely 16
and the Lady Powerscourt of to-day is
half a century older than her latest
brother.
There are cases on record where a
century or more has divided the we'd
ding days of father and son. The first
Earl of Leicester was first married in
1775 and his son led his second wife
to the altar in August, 1875; while
Captain Francis Maude. who was mar
ried on June 2S, 1S4s. was following
the example his father, Lord Haw-
arden, had set him ninety-three years
earlier in 1856. But both these cases
are quite eclipsed by that of General
G. Stevenson of Bristol who was
united to his third wife in 1884 at the
age of 50, and whose father was first
wed in 1904, the year of Blenheim.
This seeming irnpossibility is ac-
counted for by the fact that the father,
who was born in 1850. was married for
the third time at the age of 10, and
the general was the son of this late
union. Thus we get the remarkable re-
suit of a man whose father was born
in Charles IFS reign wooing and we'd

WHAT A HAND MAY MEAN

In all my experience and thoughts 1
am conscious of a hand. Whatever
touches me, whatever thrills me, is as
a hand that touches me in the dark,
and that touch is my reality. You
might as well say that sight which
makes you glad or blow which brings
the stinging tears to your eyes is un-
real as to say that those impressions
are unreal which I have accumulated
by means of touch. The delicate
tremble of a butterfy's wings in my
hand, the soft petals of violets curling
in the cool folds of their leaves or lift
ing sweetly out of the meadow grass,
the clear, firm outline of face and limb,
the smooth arch of a horses neck and
the velvety touch of his nose-all these,
and thousand resultant combinations,
which take shape in my mind, con-
stitute my world.-Helen Keller in the
Century.

subject of such profound interest to a
whole nation as Umberto, Prince of
Piedmont and heir to the Italian crown,
who made his advent in this troubled
mundane sphere on the 9Th of last Sep
tember. As is shown by his latest pho
tograph. which The Call has just re-
ceived from its Rome correspondent,
which is here reproduced, he is a
bright-looking, chubby-faced little
chap. He is large for his age and, of
course, is credited with exceptional in
telligence, which he manifests much
like plebeian babies do by grabbing at
anything which his uncertain little
fingers touch. Although dark, with
hair and eyes like Queen Elena, his
skin is white, which gives him a pecu-
liarly flowerlike appearance, that be-
comes positively fascinating when he
smiles fieetingly in infant fashion Nat
urally he is idolized by the King and
Queen and the Queen-mother, which
