If you respect him, and 1 do not read

THOSE who have travelled the trou-
bled path of youth when one
doesn't know what one wants
and is prodigal with emotions in trying
to find out. will smile indulgenty over
the following letter:
There is so much in 1t OF the human
nature that the years have taught those
who are older to guide and control 1t

Il am young girl of sixteen and
until few weeks ago had been going
with a young man one year my senior.
Some childish misunderstanding had
broken our sincere friendship, and since
then we just greet each other when we
meet and pass on.
To-day as. l was walking along the
street l CHANGED to meet him He was
with another girl He tipped his hat ]
looked at him and at the girl, and much
to my horror 1 burst out laughing. ]
can not comprehend whatever pos
sessed me to do so. am sure it was
not Jealousy Qor 1 pity the girD, and
every time l think of 1t I just laugh
and laugh. Can you tell what it is that
makes me laugh?'
1t is the Mysteries of youth. You
laughed because you are young. You
wanted to show by an Indifferent smile
that you didn't care. And that smile
became laugh. Being very young,
you laugh immoderately, and you cry
to excess.
You are like n swing that flies back
and forth as far as the rope permits.
When you get older. and it is time to
let the cat die as they say when the
swinging nears an end, there will. be
less of the extremes in all your emo
tons. You will never be so miserable
you can't see a ray of hope.
I am sorry you laughed but you
couldn't help it. I am sure it meant no
unkind feeling and that it was not the
laugh of resentment But it is sure to
be misunderstood. A pleasant little
smile, such as you would give to a mere
acquaintance, would have won for you
the admiration and respect of both your
former lover and your rival.
They will not interpret that laugh to
your credit You were not Jealous, you
say, yet hysterieal k.ugh would indi-
cate that you are, 1t showed that you
