POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Remember that the money you
squander won't work for you.
We are always too young to have
known better if our mothers are the
judges.
Men do lot of things Just as fool
ish as having their clothes button In

Dreaming of what you would do If
you had large income is probably
about the slowest way to get one.
The man who fails In his efforts to
do something well is still more of a
success than the one who never tries.
A mother worries If her daughters
are not invited to parties and then sits
up and worries because they are out
late when they are invited.
Ever occur to you that you ought tn
dress up more and brush your clothes
oftener? Most people as they become
old neglect their personal appearance
