BRAVERY AND THE GIRL

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

and she said-weu never mind what she
said; that was their business. not yours
or mine
But I'll tell you a secret This story
ended something Ike this: And they
lived happily ever after"
Every girl has contempt for the man
who is afraid 10 seize opportunities.
Don't wait for opportunities. young
man, make them.
What u she does refuse you? Il is no
disgrace 20 be rejected. II you love her
well enough 10 Doe patient. wait a while,
and then try again.
I have seen q bold man carry a girl

he had been brave enough 20 come for

Remember that the girl can only go

that would mean running after YOU
Remember that an attractive girl never
lacks for suitors, and your chance IS
one Of many. While YOU shiHy-shally

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

One may be pardoned for smiling over
the statement that a married woman who
has been accepting masculine attention
during her husbands absence believed
the men who offered them We're honor
able Ignorance is excusable in youth.
but a married woman who believes that
the man who makes love TO her behind
her husbands back is better than ras-
cal lays her wits open 10 doubt. The Ut
terance OF such thoughts makes her an
object OF ridicule.
Oh. the silly things women sayl I be-
neve this particularly foolish statement
was made by man, but It probably had
q feminine origin. 1t is a bit OF luck that
# is likely to save woman from the
consequences Of rashness. But usually
the outcome of foolish speech Is anything
but profitable. Few are the women who
go through l.fe with guard on the
tongue, but the few reap a splendid re-
ward in fame, IN money and in adora-
ton. A woman may have dozen secrets
and be able TO conceal them life time II
she keeps her own counsel She may be
as poor as Jobs turkey and the world

by her husband and neglected by her chill

lions Of the men they have married. but

glrlhood before her husbands eyes. The
effect may not be felt for years. but there

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
STORY OF ORIGIN OF
KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS

1t was the old Greek story OF Damon
and Pythias. as set forth in Bannim's
old-time play. that inspired In Justus
Henry Rathbone the idea OF organizing
the Knights Of Pythias. Here is the
story as IL appears in the old chronicles:
In the Grecian city Of Syracuse. during
the reign OF Dlonysius. Damon, a married
man with a wife and child, was a sena-
tor, and Pythias, n single man without
relatives. a soldier. and they were friends
] A measure had been introduced in the
Senate by direction Of the King which
sought 70 deprive its citizens OF some OF
their long-enjoyed rights. Damon. fully
imbued with the spirit OF freedom and
awake 70 the wishes OF the people. arose
and denounced the tyrant who was bent
on depriving the citizens OF their long
enjoyed privileges. For this act he was
arrested and incarcerated in a dungeon
cell
/ Pythias was much wrought up over the
| condition Of affairs and began at once
to formulate plans to aid his friend
He finally determined to visit the tyrant
and see II he could arrange for Demon 10

He approached the tyrant King ard thus
addressed him:

rear me: Let Damon go and sec his wife
and child before he dies. For six short
hours respite him. Put mo IN chains.
/ plunge me into a dungeon as hostage for
his return Do this but this. and may
the gods build up thy greatness as high
as their own heaven.
Pythias was thereupon incarceTated IN
the cell In place Of Damon and Damon
sped with all haste 10 his home on the
shores OF the Mediterranean to bid the
/ last farewell 10 his wife and child. Who
can imagine the scene or this last part
ing. the wife and child clinglng 70 him
In utter despair. lmploring him to take
/ his ship which was IN the Oinng bounding
on the ripping pillows and speed away
70 another cline, where he would be safe?
But he refused all these loving appeals
saying he had promised his friend
/ Pythias 70 return IN six hours. and the
/ promise must be kept. So he tore him
self frorl the fond embrace OF wife and
child. and, Notwithstanding his slave had
slain his steed 10 prevent his return. ne

The tyrant King was so impressed with
this evidence OF friendship that Damon
was pardoued.
