Japan Adds Courtship Course To
 The Curriculum Of It's Schools Girl Subjects of Mkado Must Be Woefuy Lacking In Charm What Will Be Loves Fate-Few Rules Yet Formulated Strikes Feminine America As Rather Odd-The
 Old Time Kind Good Enough For Us
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

if such rules should be enforced in the schools here, they would be memorized only to be forgotten at the first sign of an affaire de occur. We American women are too fond of having things our own way and every girl alive wants her courtship to be carried out ac- cording to her own plans and specifi- cations and different from anybody elses.'
 | And methinks the English girl will be just as much opposed as her sister on this side of the Atlantic, although an English school teacher has been so much impressed by the proposed Jap anese marriage course in courtship so I read, that she intends to start sim already formulated code of rules, one of which advises girls never to let any man think you can do with out him until he becomes your hus~ band ,"
 The learned English school marm will find that her suffragette sisters digress even from that theory" I sug-
 
 band they show him very plainly that they can get along without him, which many of them have done by entering public life without ever asking the why's and wherefores of the situation from hubby or anybody else And I quite agree with the idea .' said the oldfashioned girl. much to my | astonishment Why allow any man. husband or no husband, to think that you can't get along without him? The masculine element Is too conceited any way and they need little of the starch taken out of them along those lines" All of which goes on to prove" l unused, that nation cannot put up set of rules whereby men and wom- | en will carry on their courtship any | more than they can regulate the con versation and actions of people after they are married. It is pretty safe to conclude that the person in whose brain the idea of establishing a course in courtship took root never was In love in his lifetime, has no heart (iust place for one), and doesn't know the first rudiments of what a real courtship ought to be. Also that if the girl subjects of the great Mikado need any pointers on the subject all they have to do is to consult some real live, up-to-date American girl, who will tell them all there is to know on this interestiue fbeme''

Necessity, Not
 Luxury

Music is no longer classed as . luxury, but an absolute necessity. The thoughtful parent is giving ter musical advantages. You should not neglect your children musically simply because they do not promise to become artists-because you or your better half did not acquire musical talent.
 It is your duty to teach tluem the gladness of life and joy of music. the triumph of supreme effort, which may be necessary for them to accomplish the desired end, even though it leads to what the world terms failure when compared to the artist. We can not all be artists. It should not be so.
 True education in music is brought about by natural effort not the strenuous life. That can be Accomplished by starting the child young. You are making a mistake if you do not have your child begin the piano in it's seventh year. For more than one reason they should begin at least this early in life. We have known some of the most suc- cessful to begin at the age of five. You have been talking about buy ing that piano for some time. BUY IT NOW. You have been putting it off from fall to spring. and sprine to fall for years. You could aIw~.-s find\ n excuse. Come and talk the mattl over with us. Our know. ledge is expert knowledge acquired by years experience.

THE SOULS LONGING

Nothing can satisfy the longings of
the soul but God. The soul is immor-
tai, and, therefore. cannot be fed with
earthly things. Riches, honor, ease
comfort and all that can be bestowed
will fail to satisfy its hunger 1t cries
out for God. It must have communion
with the unseen and the eternal. 1t
seeks intimacy with the world above.
What a thought Each of us has dom
iciied in these bodies this spark of i'm
mortal life, and it longs for its free
dom from its entanglements. 1t will
revel amid those surroundings where
God is honored. 1t drinks in the beau
tiful and the sublime. It scars and
sings, eager for its native element: can
hardly be content with its present sur
roundings. Like the eagle in it's cage.
1t longs for an upward flight. The
highest mountain crag of earth will
not answer for a perch. Beyond sun.
moon and stars it must soar. Beyond
where morning light shines or evening
shadows gather, ii must ascend.
1t is an impressive and awful
thought that as individuals we have
this soul in custody, 1t is my soul. 1t

1t appears the bacon really comes
from fish+an amphibian, that has
fur and is web-footed.
These fish are found mostly in the
Gulf of Carpentaria, 500 miles west of
the city where the recorded experience
took place. The tide there falls thirty
five feet. and When it goes out the fish
ares left high and dry, so they come
ashore and wander about in the tall
grass They have, fierce hurricanes
there from the east, and the wind car
ries the salt atmosphere with it for
hundreds of miles. SO these ampribi-
Gus fish have to tramp along and eat
grass, which gives the flesh a bacony
flavor. At times they are caught when
about to enter the Pacific, killed, and
cured, and are considered a real deli
cacy.
If our Australian friend has any
thing more in this line we shall be
very glad to hear from him.
