disguise. 1t need not be an irretriev-
able loss. One thing you and should
guard against is caring too much about
what people say. A hurt to vanity
wounds like the thrust of knife. We
are often SO mortified because our
friends think us slow and compare us
as we imagine with others who have
done better than we, that we cease
our endeavors or let ourselves be side
tracked entirely too long.
Occasionally it becomes necessary
wholly to change the plans for ones
life. A girl may be compelled by loss
of health or financial trouble in the
family to do something quite different
from that which she had anticipated.
If this is duty, be brave and accept it
without making a fuss and complain
ing.
This is such a bright and CHEEKY
world IN which we live, and there are
SO many reasons for being happy, that
it is positive sin for anybody ever to
be blue. When a girl let's herself drift
into a habit of self-pity she becomes
morbid and miserable, makes herself
wretched and perhaps loses the power
of controlling her nerves. She wants
to scream. l wish you and l could I'M
derstand as we ought that, however
we may feel inside. we never have a
right to show our friends anything ex-
cept brightness and sympathy.
To let ourselves huddle up in fearful
heaps, to be damp, moist and unpleas-
ant, and have mysteries over anything
whatever, is absurd and shameful. The
worst failure anyone can have is a fail

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.

As railroads have congcStcd pOpula-

said a speaker at Il Virginia good

not at the great commercial points

Will civ" You better facilities for mar

connection with the cultivation of
your lmoccupird farm lands The
railroads for the most part now de
velop the country within a marrow
limit on either side of their tracks.
Lands at II distance from railroads
are low priced and neglected, simply
because farmers have not facilities
for getting their produce TO the rail-
road station. Improve your highways
and this limit will be widened to
great extent, 50 that railroads, instead
of carrying the traffic from within
three or four or five miles of their
lines, will carry the produce from
within twenty or twenty-five miles,
because 1t can protitably be brought
that distance over good roads
What is true in Virginia AS to the

Improvement of her public highways
is true If applied to the whole south

TO stimulate the productive energy OF
