about specifically is this:
You should impress it upon your
daughter that the man who asks her

Make her realize that the fact itself
of proposing to her to keep her family
in ignorance Of his intentions is prima

Explain to her that such a proposal
Is an insult.

DREAMS.

al of us dream.
But not all of US go out to make our
dreams come true
A king OF Egypt dreamed. and the
pyramids of Cheops were the realiza-
ton of his vision.
Homer dreamed, and his "IHad"
abides with us and win abide.
Michelangelo dreamed dreams Of
beauty and then put them into marble.
Fulton first dreamed and then built
! his steamboat.
Lewis and Clark had vision Of the
great northwest and could not rest I'M
ell they made manifest their dreams.
Morse dreamed Of carrying intelli-
gence on wire. and Marconi dreamed
of the wireless message, and both ma
terialized their dreams.
Professor Bell dreamed and the teie-
phone spoke. Edison dreamed and the
photograph sung,
On the hills near Dayton. O., the
Wright boys dreamed their dream Of
an airstip, and now men sail the skies.
The poet said:
Alas that dreams are only dreams,
Tbnt fancy cannot give a lasting beauty
To those forms that scarce moment live.
Which would be true IL men merely
dreamed and dallied and dreamed.
But some are not disobedient to the
aheaYenly vision. They go out to fulfil
their dreams. to give lasting beauty
to the momentary glimpse.
Every concrete thing of creation is
d materialized dream: every outcome
OF beauty or utility was dreamed out.
Dreams are the shadows of things
hoped for, the substance Of things not
seen.
First the seed of the dream, then the
blade of purpose and then the full
corn in the ear-fulfillment.
Surely we must do noble things,
not dream them all day long," but we
must dream them before we can do
them
ssuch stun as dreams are made of
is soul stuff.
And soul stuff was made for service
as well as for dreaming

Heart toHeart
Talks.
FATHER.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.


Do you remember in Victor Hugo'S
great story how Jean Vatican stopped
down in the mud and with his great
strength lifted the heavy wagon out of
the mud?
Many father does that.
He is STOPPING down to lift his chill
dren up out Of the mud into better
conditions.
Perhaps he was denied educational
advantages when he was a boy. Per
haps he was forced to quit school at
an early age and go to work.
All bis life he has felt the lack OF
schooling. He has come up through
great tribulQtion, having graduated in
the University of HarlI knocks.
But his children!
1T has been the dream of his life to
give his kiddyeens the chance that
was denied him. Watch his face when
The children bring home good report
cards from the teacher.
And If in his brood is one who shows
the desire to go through college the
father will put his willing shoulders
under the burden of expense.
He will rob himself of sleep to think
of ways and means, put up with short
dinners and shabby clothes and give
his very flesh and blood in cheerful
sacrifice.
All over the country fathers are do
ing that.
It is pitiful to think that some OF
them may be disappointed in the out
come
Nothing is more pathetic than the
spectacle of son or daughter who
has been educated because father has
stopped down ia the mud failing in
appreciation or recognition of that fa-
theirs devotion.
"How sharper than a serpents tooth
IL is to have thanl0ess child
The meanest man or woman is that
one who, prohting by fathers lifelong
abnegation, is ashamed of the grand
old man.
Have you not seen educated daugh-
tiers who affected to be greatly embar-
raised at fathers LONELY ways or
lapses in speech or because he drank
his coffee out of his saucer7
Shame! Lacking in true refinement,
to say nothing of common gratitude,
such a child has never been educated
at all.
On the other hand
There are children who realize the
moral nobility of father who will go
down into the very muck and mire to
lift them on his shoulders. They are
proud Of father anywhere and keenly
resent any lack of respect shown to
him.
These be jewels in the crown Of
fatherhood.

Your girl Ought to know, for in
Stance. that when married man
cruSse4 the line of common courtesy or
p"ure requirement she must beware of
hlul.
Ii is not necessary to teach your
cilld that all men are ravcning wolves
o. human hyenas. That would be un-
true but
she must know, if she Is to be safe
from harm. that any man who gives
any sort of reason for not wishing her
parents to know about his alleged re-
gard is dangerous.
If he really cares for your daughter
be will not object to publicity; II he
reilly loves her he will want the
world to know 1t.
These are plain words. And the ad-
vice may he considered trite. But !
bavc seen the dark waters close over
many a girl in her teens because her
mother failed of her duty.
And if | may save one girl from
hcartache or rucful lament or ruin it
self by these suggestions it will have
been worth while.

SPRING STYLES.

Safe Color Combinations--Dutc Neck
TO Be In Vogue.
The vogue for black and white
which has been spreading since early
fall il likely to continue into spring
fashions. This combination is a safe
one for the woman who Is at all
dubious as to color schemes.
In the spring one may still wear the
Dutch neck or high collar aud he in
fashion. In these enlightened days
fashions are largely matter of be-
COmingness. and one must study one
self and find out the little touches or
lines which suit ones special figure
or face.
The summer hats include lovely tur-
ban shaped affairs Of tuIlc almost and
entirely covered with flowers. One Of
light brown tulle had the top covered
with green leaves, while the brim was
bordered with bronze shaded roses and
Il bow of the same tone of velvet was
at the back.
Bishop sleeves are in the height Of
fashion. and they are often trimmed
with bands forming the sleeve into
puffs.
Coats n little below the hips are to
be smart this season. This length is

believes that coined money was mint
ed fat so that ii would easily pile up.
However that may be, neither miser
nor sppndthrift knows the true mean
ing of money-that IL Is a measure Of
values and medium of exchange.
The spendthrift cares little for his
dollar. puts upon 1t a low purchasing
power and cares nothing for value re-
ceivcd. The miser cares too much
for his dollar. estimates too highly
its purchasing power and is not will
Ing to part with II for value received.
And both spendthrift and miser make
defense by saying:
"It is my money!
But i'm wider sense that is not
true. That meney represents some
body's toll and sweat and sacrifice. 1t
was Intended to buy somebody clothes,
food. roof over head. 1t is part of the
accumulated capital of society.

$1,000 II is mine | will throw it

"No, nor you would interpose.
And yet In social sense a man has
as much right to burn his money in
the fire as to squander it foolishly or
pile il up uselessly.
The Chicago miser had money ma
