Sometimes too, the parents are going

there are the physicians who cannot

who want their children to get away.

What Are a Girls Truest Friendship.


The term mans girl usually means
q girl who is all smiles and sweetness
when ia mems society. and who is bored
10 death by the society of her own sex.
The right kind of girl is equally popu-
lar with both sexes. The girl who thinks
She can afford to dispense with the
friendship of other girls makes great
mistake.
The habit of striking up a heart-to-
heart friendship with every new girl YOU
meet is a bad one There is nothing in
such friendships they usually end dsas-
trously and the dear friends evolve into
bitter enemies That comes from being
too confidential with each other.
What a girl needs is two or three
stanch friends on whom she can abso-
lutely rely-friends who will stand by
her in good report and i'll.
The girl who only cares for men will
not take the trouble to be pleasant to
other girls She is not far-sighted
enough to realize that a girl can make
no more dangerous enemies than those
Of her own sex.
1t stands to reason that girls will have
no love for the girl who snubs them and
openly shows that she prefers mems So
ciety to theirs.
The girls you have grown up with are
apt to prove the most true friends
They understand your ways and can
best make allowances for any little frail-
ties of temper. etc; they know the best
and the worst side of you.
When you find the right kind of Il
friend be true to her; don't let petty
misunderstanding come between you.
Remember that no girl can afford to
he without friends of her own SEEK
change.

Value of Punctuality.
Are YOU punctual:

Are YOU punctual?
If hot you will never amount to any
thing.
Not only does the unpunctual person
live iii state of turmoil and discomfort
herself-she also keeps every one else
disturbed and Inconvenience.
She Is late for every engagement and
lives III constant state of furry and
hurry.
She begins the day 10y being late for
breakfast and never makes up for the
time lost.
The time wasted during the year by
an unpunctual person is deplorable.
Lack of system is the root of the trou-
bic.
Nothing is in its place. and there is
no regular time for performing any duty.
If you are in business and want IL
succeed you must be punctual TO the min
ute.
The hours your employer pays you for
belong to him. and if you are late you
are stealing his time.
When you are late i'll keeping an APP.

time, but that of the person waiting fol
you also. 1t is Il double offense
When YOU have an engagement tC
Keep begin to get ready III good time
don't start dressing at the moment you
should be leaving the house.
Nothing is more annoying to a pune
tual person than having to wait for on,
who is unpunctual.
If You are invited out to dinner ans
arrive half an hour late you entirely
spoil the dinner and the pleasure of youl
hostess in seeing you.
Begin the day by being on time TO
breakfast. Get up early enough to al
low yourself sufficient time to dress.
Aud all through the day order you
work so as to be able to punctually NEE
all your engagements.
1t simpliteS things wonderfully if they
are done at the right time.
But if you leave everything half fin
ished because you have not allowed your
self proper time to do it in. you will b.
in sad muddle by the end of the day.
Keep a level head and do your worl

Furry spoils everything.
Don't think you can save time by do

proper appreciation of time and it

There ever is time when it is impor-
tant to come to full stop, it is when
YOU are in hurry.
When everything in the menage gets
behind and tied up TO that point when it
seems as if you had TO urge everybody,
from the children down to the little
maid, to hurry" when you feel rs if
YOU had to hurry 50 yourself that you
haven't time even TO stop and take Il
drink of water, if you want it, and when
YOUR load of responsibility seems as
great as if there We're whole boarding
house with thirty people instead of three
or four depending upon you for dinner,
the proper thing to do is to come to Il
dead full stop. Resolve that you won't
hurry. Begin instead and take it IA good

Life's True Object in self-Development.

Whenever and wherever | travel.
am always impressed with a growing
conviction of the small part which mon
ey plays in human happiness. Some of
the most unhappy people have ever en-
countered were lowered with every
earthly boon.
During this season there has been a
man, worth millions, possessed of bright
children and gentlefaced wife; yet the
mans disposition ruined his own life and
that of his family.
His face looked like the envelope of Il
forwarded letter. 1t was marked all
over with the stamp of ill-temper and
discomfort His wife's face expressed
disappointment. WEAKNESS and fear, and
his daughter was a pessimist and cynic
at 20.
They had travelled the world over. yet
found nothing of interest anyN here, and
for people they had but little criticism
even for one another. No day labOrer :
family could be more unhappy. surely.
\ woman Of wealth and of marked
physical beauty, with a young. hand
some and gifted daughter, is forever
seeking happiness. she tells me. and new
er finding it. The daughter is restless,
with ambition, and her face expresses
irritahility and discomfort.
Both mother and daughter are looking
out, never in, for happiness. Happiness
is like Il woman, and so long as the hui
man heart is like a pursuing lover, she
turns her face away.
Whenever the lover ceases to pursue,
and busies himself in other ways. happi-
ness looks and smiles. The object Of
life is not personal happiness-it is self
development, self completion.
Keep that in mind oh. you who seek
JOY. no matter whether you are rich or
poor. the idle tourist or the day laborer:
the spender of unearned inheritance or
the wage Garner. The object of life is
the development of the best in you.
Once you realize this. happiness will
be possible TO you. The very realization
brings it nearer.
Until you do realize. believe and know
it to be true. nothing can give you hap
