 Dd enchants the heart. At 20 she IS

 E The climate of New England is un- |&ertain in its temper. and when win |ker really settles down, inc,ement days and freezing nights are to be taken Xl0r granted. Now and then a spring like day steals in among the frosty |And chilly and biting days, and pins |1osette on the lapel of the Winters 'ooat. These days are infrequent.

Regarded mentally and morally, the laughter of the Puritans touches tho high water mark of womanhood. h. tellectually she has few equals and no Huperfors From her babyhood she tas been trained to be thorough. Here Is the famous New England conscience

Once you penetrate her cita- del and know her as she is known to her kindred and friends. you find that you are in the presence of one who Is strong to meet calamities with fortitude, and griefs with resignation and who conquers her way to the goal by reso- 1ute fighting.
 Whatever the New England girl un- Aertakes, she carries through with dauntless pluck and tireless energy She scorns a lie. and does not stoop to evasion and snuosities of any sort. Truth with her is truth, ever shining. ever white. She walks on straight road, she speaks candidly and without s.ircumlocution. She is reticent and reserved and to strangers, on the sur face, she is a little like prickly pear You must be her friend to know how tender, compassionate, lovable and Towing she can be.
