The Bashful Girl.

The girl who has never known whatit
means TO be consumed with bashfulness
mas much to be thankful for. 1t can
not be pleasant sensation to be pain
iuily conscious of oneself; indeed, il is
so unpleasant that the girl who knows
she is shy should do everything poss-
IDLE to over come her defect.
For defect il is. Many nice girl
has had her life spoiled by shyness.
Because she does not feel at ease. Hire
meeting strangers is an effort. she never
is quite her natural self.
Shyness affects different girls differ
entity. Sometimes it makes them un-
pleasantly unreserved. As unblending
is hard they do not attempt it. and
shut themselves out from pleasant
friendships and opportunity for adj
vancement.
Inc bashful girl acquires the habit of
declining invitation, not because She
does not long for good time like other
girls, but because she is so self-consicous
that the thought of taking her rightful
place in society is alarming. She
wants to go to parties, but is afraid she
VIII not appear to advantage, and be-
fore long invitations cease to come her
way.
Many "A girl who is disliked for her
indifference is really shy. She wants
and needs friends, but does not know
how to make them. Often her shyness
takes the form of brusquerie and she
gains an unfortunate reputation for
'snippness".
Worst of all is when bashfulness is
masked by showing off. The girl is
conscious of herself, but seeks to hide il
by blatant manner. She talks loud
", does and says silly things, makes
herself conscious, moi. because she is i'll
at ease and trying to bluff it off.
Sometimes bashfulness comes from
lack of opportunity. The girl has
never been thrown much with people,
therefore is wanting in the self-possess-
ion which comes from long habit. If
she has lived retired life, let her
make an effort To mingle with people
Join girls club or Sunday-school
class, stay around when the mothers
friends are being entertained, getting
accustomed TO bear part i'm general
conversation.
Often girl is shy from supersenitiv-
ness She may have too humble an
opinion of herself; she feels people do
not care for her; perhaps she has been
mode selfconscious through the snubs
and ridicule of older members of her
family. What she needs is to cultivate
her vanity. Let her feel ~ am well
worth liking. and soon the blighting
thought that her friends do not want
her around will be forgotten.

WONDERFUL PROGRESS.
The State Fair Grounds and Buildings
Worth Nearly a Half Million
Dollars.

The Michigan State Fair was organ

Of the time until 1t was established
In Detroit its fight for existence has
been strenuous. Many times the
clouds Of failure lowered dangerously
near, but owing to the determined ef-
forts of friends it has finally been es-
tablished on a Arm financial basis.
Five years ago the fair was per-
manently located in Detroit. because
1t was believed that with so large q
population to draw attendance from.
the chances OF success would be much
brighter
There were only $4,000 in tho
treasury when the fair was first To-
Gated In Detroit The LAT acres
owned by the society cost $4,000.
Detroit business men ut once came TO
the aid OF the society and donated
heavily. As result large, commo-
dious and beautiful buildings were
erected, as were also q grand stand
with seating capacity Of 1000. live
stock barns, race track, band stand
and many other buildings. The
grounds were graded into streets with
cinder drives, shrubbery and trees
planted, fences erected and various
other Improvements made until now
the property represents an investment
OF nearly half million dollars.
Against this half million dollar
plant, there is only an indebtedness
OF 100000 The great portion OF
which is covered by the original bond
issue.
Most other State Fairs are owned
by the commonwealth in which they
are located, but every effort to turn
this over to the state has failed. Mich
igan should support the State Fair
and help to upbuild II. The Mime
sofa and Iowa state legislatures have
appropriated large sums for new
equipment and the state Of Michigan
should do the same This fair II pure
