SUMMER PHILOSOPHY.

One of the worst misfortunes
in a girls life is to go on an out
ing with a girl friend and see the
nice young man she likes out
with another maiden.
A baby is a small, Indifferent
creature entirely surrounded by
admiration.
II a woman dreams OF a happy
married life, when her husband
will always come home in time
to dinner and say pleasant things
to her, it is a sign she shouldn't
get married.
It all depends upon whether
you think you have tact or d.
plomacy which you think is the
most desirable.
The people who simply can't
see things our way are the ones
we think have the least sense.

Little Bed Tales
By EDITH HAVENS

'HuIIo; is this the Nancy Leo from
Spain?''
Some one must have answered, for
Hugh called back, "Arl right! I will
unload your coal right away
Over on the other shore Hugh's boat
grounded on the sandy beach, and in
g second Paul was unloading the car
pets for the King of Spain.
What a busy time It was!
The carpets were little pieces OF white
cloth, while Paul had Used small peb-
bles for coal.
All morning long the boys sailed their
boats across me stream, and at one
time it was most exciting, for the
Nancy Lee was wrecked upon q rock
Paul had to wade right up to his knees
to pull her out.
Just before noon the two boats raced
down stream, and the Nancy Lee left
Hugh's boat far behind.
Did you ever know you could have
so much fun with boats before?
