Do not let anybody laugh at You

The friendships of the schoolgirl may

shall have friends with whom you can
talk and study, who will share your

DO not let anyone come between you
and your dearest friend. Avoid envy

better than you and gains more prizes

class, take pride In what she does and
be above anything mean or petty on

Choosing partners sounds as Il
we were going to play game. and
In fact, that is Just what we are do

we are in school or at home, busy OF
| idle. happy or sorrowful, we are al
ways playing the great game that be
| gins when we are babies and goes
on till we are grandmothers.
1t is very funny, isn't it, TO think
OF ever being a grandmother, when
one is only II or 10, or may be
younger? But have been looking at
tie picture of girl who is a grand.
mother, a picture taken when she was
schoolgirl, with dancing eyes and
coal-Dlack hair and merry dimples.
when sine was as gay and light-heart
ed as any of you. She wore yellow
silk frork, and black silk apron
with pockets and RULES. ruffled silk
mantilla over her shoulders, and she
had a little bonnet tied under her
chin II was droll way Of dress
ing. but II was the fashion then, and
ii looked as pretty as your fashions
do now
It is always the face that matters
most, and fashions have little TO do
with the looks of sweet girls. This
girl has never lost her beauty, nor her
trick Of smiling with dimples that
chase ono another over her face, and
she Is a bewitching grandmother and
fairy sadmother TO a beyy of young
people.
Choosing partners was what
thought of when looked at her, for
she was one that everybody wanted
to choose She had her chums, and
her comrades, and generally there was
one a wee bit dearer than the others

pus, two and two. Nothing is so I'M
natural In schoolgirl as to have no
friends, Our friendships mean
great deal TO us when we are grow.
ing up, great deal more than older
people dream.
To share ones desk or ones room
with a disagreeable girl, or with a
girl who is not in sympathy with one
is a real misery. The next worst
thing is to have a chum forced on
one against her will. Occasionally q
teacher insists on putting together
two girls who belong apart Tho re.
suit is seldom blissful Once in
awhile mother makes the mistake
OF harping on the grace and the
amiability and the cleverness of
Maude or Mabel to Mary and Jane,
who very probably wish nothing to
do with either of the paragons. There
is no surer way Of antagonizing

body else than the way of continually
praising the somebody, and showing
off her good qualities at the expense
OF the other
| remember two girls who ought TO
have been the best of friends. but
who were driven into a condition very
much like enmity, because the one
was forever held up to the other as
a bright and shining example.
