KISSING DAYS AT HUNGERF0RD.

which have been observed since the days
of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster,
who granted the rights and privileges
to the Commoners.
At day break the town crier, arraycd
in new livery, took his stand on the town
hall balcony and blew his lusty blasts
on the historic horn. which is the sym

Inc Mother and the Growing Boy.

A boys life goes forward by leaps
and bounds after he passes the nursery
stage writes Margaret +. Sangster in
WOman's Home Companion. AT least
it seems so to his mother. There is the
day when his father demonstrates about
those babyish curls that are so beauti-
her fingers with such care and pride.
The boy has begun to hate them, and
he goes jOyOusly to the BARRIERS to have
them cut off. AS the shears separate
each soft ringlet. the mother feels as if
something precious was severed from her
very heart. She gathers them up and
lays them away, and as her little LAD
walks beside her with sturdier step than
before she realizes that the coming dawn
of his manhood is quickening on the
horizon.
There is the day when she sees her
boy, gallant little figure with his hands
i'll his pockets, looking an inch taller than
yesterday because he is dressed less like
a little girl and more like the hoy across
the street whom he has secretly envied.
Those pockets mark an era in boyish de
velopment. Are they not distinctively q
badge of sex? Surely, considering that
man has fourteen pockets and a wom-
an none at all, the day when the boy
first realizes that he has pockets, and
that they are to hold whatever he
pleases, is a great day for him. The boy
has his own happy day, too, when 1t
first puts on a real pair of stout shoes
shoes in which he may run and jump and
kick 4 ball.

The Debutante's Dizziness.

\ young matron who is universally re-
garded as model of social skill and
tact speaks a word in defense of the
debutante.
Il always make her my especial care. -
she says, for when she is just entering
upon the May path of social life it IS
often made unnecessarily hard for her.
The men neglect her. because, they say,
she is duh, but for my own part l don
think her nearly so dull as she has been
in times past. Of course, some girls have
naturally less animation and gaiety than
others, but happily. there are few now
adays who cannot exchange the CONVEX
sational coin of the hour. Seif-confdence,
which is said to be the first requisite of
great undertt kings. the dehutante cannot
have in the same degree as the married
woman or the girl who has been out one
or two seasons, and the lack Of it is the
principal reason for her so-called dull
ness. When n man can't make n girl
talk at all he is himself to ne suspected
of dullnesN. It's because Of their SUI
Porior social attainments that middle
aged men also get on so well with young
partners.
