My girlhood dreams shy, wistful, little
things,
Golden with laughter, crystal bright
with tears
1 watch them soar on virginia. soft
wings,
And send them forth to battle with
the years.
As snowy doves from dove-cote, swift
they fly,
To seek fulhiment in the great, glad
world,
While meath their breasts my unborn
hopes all lie;
I bid them go, brave pinions wide
unfurled.
My girlhood dreams-sad, broken little
things,
With gold all furnished, crystal dim
and fiawed-
They have come home to die, on torn,
bruised wings,
Ravised by <at reality they warred.
Lost doves Their pinions were too
white to trail
Through earth and mud, and still
escape the stain,
And yet-my little hopes, untouched
and frail!
Have blossomed in the furnace heat

81 AM TAKING
THE LIBERTY"

am taking the liberty Of reproduc-
ing a recent question sent to Mrs.
Thompson. who writes for The Jour
nal, and her splendid answer, because
I am afraid that all the young people
possibly might not have seen it, and
the answer" should be read by all
the girls and boys, for it's plain, good
common sense:
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
chums with a girl for quite a while,
but haven't thought Of marrying her
or anybody else. Now some of her
friends want to know when the we'd
ding is to be. What am to say? I
hate to seem to turn the girl down, but
never wanted to marry her. She's
just a good friend. TOM.
If you did not want to marry the
girl you should not have taken up so
much of her time that it made people
think you wished to marry her A good
many young men make that mistake
The next time anybody asks you
about the wedding, simply tell them
that you have nothing to say; then let
them think what they please. If they
choose to think the girl has refused
you, IT will be more manly on your
part to let them think so, than to say
