Youths Mind Diverted.

The boy was the only child Of
banker; and he had never shown
any tendency to be a gallant, but
was so pursued by the attentions of
girls from ages ranging between
thirteen and twenty that he was
losing all interest in his studies.
The girls of the present era seem
to be the pursuers; the young men
are the pursued.
And when men are pursued they
are invariably contemptuous of the
women who seek their attentions.
If young girls could know the
thoughts of these men, if they could
hear the remarks made about Them
they would hide away in shame and
confusion.
While the writer of this article
believes in all modern inventions as
part of the progress which will
eventually lift the race to a higher
plane. giving minds and bodies
freedom from the drudgery of
grinding toll, it yet seems as if that
most necessary and useful inven-
ton, the telephone, has become a
prominent factor in the folly and
bOldness of young girls.
In olden days a letter or a tele-
gram was needed to communicate
with friends and acquaintance, and
both gave an opportunity for reflec-
tiOn before sending.
Many girl was no doubt tempt
ed to write letter to a man asking
him to call, and before she finished
it her pride and self-respect came
to the rescue. She did not want
him to possess such evidence of her
forWardness.
A telegram would seem too urgent
and that also could be shown: so
she conquered her desire to see the
man until he made his desire to see
her known.
But the telephone leaves no evil

Meaningless Conversations.

More than one wise and sersi.
BILE father has refused to keep a
telephone in the house where his
young daughters dwelt, because he
did not wish his girls TEMPTED IN
cheaper themselves in the wav he
knew many of their associates
were cheapened by continual sirIv
and meaningless conversations over
the wire, and by the making Of
haphazard engagements through
that means.
No man can or does respect a
girl who makes advances for his
attentions. He will meet her hair
way; he may fiatter and praise her
to her face, but in his heart he
despises her.
And behind her back he is rfdi-
culing her and boasting of her ia.
Vors.
Because she has no self-respcc'.
he does not consider it his place to
defend her name or reputation.
An absolutely manly man. one
who has been carefully reared by A
refined, broad minded mother. viii
never talk about a woman djsre-
specially, no matter what she
does.
In his heart he may despise her,
but he will not use her name light
ly. Very few young men are reared
in this way. and, therefore. the
majority will boast of the success
they have with silly girls who pur-
sue them, and they will make light
remarks about them.
If you, young Miss, who read
these lines are one of those who
send messages and invitations to
your masculine friends, trying to
make engagements with them, re-
member the risk you run, the risk
of being laughed at by the youths,
and gossiped about by their moth
ers and older friends.
Will Accept Attention.
No amount of entertainment YOU
receive from the efforts you make
can ever repay for the loss to your
good name.
A man of any age likes to be the
one who makes the advances to
woman. He will accept the atteu-
tions which are forced upon him.
because they fiatter his vanity, but
he will in his heart despise the girl
or woman who gives the initiative.
Better stay at home and read
book than go out with a man whose
society you had to seek

Pastry, cakes and sweets generally
ara wonderfully improved b. being
cooked in paper bags. The concen-
tration of heat which is thus gained
has the effect of making the puff paste
lighter and more regular in texture
and all cake mixtures rise" in a
manner the open oven cannot produce.
Then again the cooking takes much
less time, and I need not point out
the value of this. In the old style
the oven door had frequently to be
opened to watch progress. The pastry
was thus exposed to draughts of cool
air. which could but produce "doughy,"
heavy and unsatisfactory results
Puff Paste: Take one pound flour,
three-quarter of pound butter, and
mix the flour with water and salt light
ly, to the consistency of butter. Leave
this dough for half an hour, then fiat
ten II with your hand, and lay your
butter on top of the paste. Then fold
four-corner way, and give it two rolls
as usual. Leave your paste in cool
place for forty-dve minutes, then roll
twice more. Leave 1t for fosty-five
minutes, and roll twice again. Place
it in larger paper bag which will
not touch the paste. Put on broiler
and allow twenty minutes in hot
oven.

thinking about James Harper. How

not think of James Harper?

ventured into the garden, as he en-

So it came about that James Harper
worked in the Perry garden as much

every flower spoke loudly of his pres
