They all run after him They telephone

Of young girls
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 contemptpOus of the wom-
en- 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.
1t seems as if that most necessary
and useful Invention, the telephone,
has become a prominent factor in the
folly and boldnes of young girls.
In olden days, a letter or a tele-
gram was needed to communicate with
friends and acquaintances, and both
gave an opportunity for reflection be-

Many a girl was no doubt tempted
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 pos

One of the best of these recent pho

those huge wind-driven waves of sand
stretching away for hundreds, and even
thousands, of miles, only rarely broken
by little oasis, with its CLEAN of
muddy water and its palm trees, and
you may form some conception of what
the Sahara really is. Then picture to
yourself a fierce, hot wind suddenly
rising, blowing with rapidly increasing
violence, rolling and ripping the sands,
and finally lifting tons of them into
the air, and driving them forward in
dense clouds that hide the sun and
stifle every living being that they en-

If there had been no camels, with

The SirOccO's Trail.
NJ Epry, studying in the Sahara, has
very ingeniously traced the course OF
the winds that have made the ripples.
The rippIes are always found on the
slopes of the sand waves down which
the wind has passed obliquely. They
are the finger marks of the sirocco, left
on the surface of the grand waves of
sand which it has piled up in its more
furious moments.
But unchanging as the desert seems,
il nevertheless is as mutable as the
sea itself The waves of sand are
driven slowly forward, by successive
winds, and their forms are changed, 50

since. What can do?
Ny dear. you can do nothing You
have frightened him away forever,
and 1 am not sure it doesn't serve you

there is an element of uncertainty in
the pursuit. As soon as he sees she IS

anxious for him than he was for you
