It will probably be an item of
news to most of our readers that
our genial postmaster is not COMPEL |
ed to make change for you when you
make purchases at Uncle Sans Of
flee. This is a queer rule that not
one in a thousand persons know. Buy
ers of stamps or any purchases at |
a postoffice must furnish their own
change; i. E., the postmaster could |
insist on the buyer furnishing his
own change if he sees fit to do it;
but usually the postmaster is glad |
enough to get rid of his chicken |
feed" and he is always ready and |
willing to accommodate the public |
by making all the change it asks for. |
A girl in her teens with too many
and too costly clothes on her back |
gets self-conscious and vain, and |
loves admiration-an you grown-ups |
known the next step. A simple, pure |
hearted girl, who has a place in a
home, homework and home-duties has
her heart there and no boy can steal
it. Even when maturity comes and a
real man comes and a real affair of
her heart comes, will such a girl
leave home and then only after heart
rending. But a girl who is at home
only at the table and in the bed won't
love that home. Work makes things
sacred. The child whose home mem
cries are not haloed by work, who is
not needed and does not feel the
need, will not love home. And if
she doesn't love the home of her girl
hood she will love no other.
