about II o'clock I'll bring some
sandwiches and things"
NO. I'll attend to the sandwiches"
protested the girl. Il used to make
awfully good ones for picnlcs back

There was color in her face as she
bade Gus good might on reaching the
dingy house where she roomed He
lived farther up the old avenue, and
they had formed the habit of walk
ing home together 1t saved car fare
and was companionable.
Thus on Tuesday they planned
their trip after violets on the coming
Sunday. Each night they talked it
over as they walked. IT'S almost as
the trip" Josephine said on Wednes-
day. And isn't the weather lovely?
Just perfect for going TO the coun-
try"
There are four days till Sunday"
Gus reminded her. 1T would be dog
gone mean if It rained."
OH" Josephine actually turned
pale at the thought why, II can't
rain! It mustn't! I'm going to have
a new hat trimmed by Sunday
you want pink roses on it," Gus
told her, judicially. He thought she
looked Ike a pink rosebud herself,
with the color in her cheeks. He had
never seen her so vivacious before.
Seems as though / can't wait till
Sunday" she told him as she said
good bye
That evening she sewed rapidly on
a dress skirt she had turned and was
making over. She thought it was
amazing how quickly clothes grew
shabby in the city. She washed out
her best cotton crepe waist that
needed no ironing and folded it care
fully. Then, with a sudden inspira-
ton, she began to look for a little roll

=. Frank Talk Is the Best =.

Il could not have done it," declared
the other and older woman. Il consid-
er it most immodest. do not see how
you cam talk Of these things with your
boy and hope to keep his respect"
That was the attitude Of many a so
called pure minded matron of that day.
She fancied that in telling the truth
a woman would forfeit the respect of
a clear headed lad, and that in lying
she would keep his respect. Many chill
dren Of former generations were re-
minded that they should not ask such
questions" or commanded to "be quiet
and run away and play" when they
sought for the truth on matters of life
and sex.
Dare we say that evil comes of this
frankness which is now in the air and
is advocated by those who would help
to make good men and women of our
boys and girls? If we say that the mod
ern fair dealing and honest speaking is
wrong, and that the concealments and
subterfuges of the past were right, we
admit that the truth is shameful, and
that a lie is honorable condition
which the Almighty Himself could not
bring about.
Curiosity and unseemly and unneces-
sary discussion are to be deprecated
and avoided but surely to tell the facts
Of existence, to speak of them frankly
and honestly, is not to sully purity, but
to bring it into the clear light of day
that all may see how beautiful it is.
How many of us have stopped to con-
slider what the effect would be uDon all

Not Hopeful.

Gee. George, you should talk more

you've had the head chair here for

you die, for that matter. Think how
much better off you are than a lot of
college graduates that never got no

was telling me the other day that quite

The Glass Poet.

Brother Wilfred was just that way

bunch OF junk that he stood up there
and reeled off would have gave you the
blind staggers, but most of the vii
layers didn't know that kind Of tripe
from Tennyson's best, so they gave the
boy a hand when he got through and
got him started on the road he is fol-
lowing now, almost poeting.
"Of course girls don't take com
mencement quite so serious as the boys.

the things that men and women talk
about. Only yesterday. a young man,

promptly, forbidding him 70 talk of such
things But we have changed all that
kind of feeling nowadays. I confess 1
cannot become accustomed to such free
speech as is now the fashion. There is
nothing at present that may not be dis

Yes, we have changed all that, and,
to the commonsense thinker, there is
much to be said in praise Of the change
viewed from some aspects, OF course,
there is no revolution or reformation
without tendency on the part Of some
extremists to overdo matters. So in this
day OF frank speech there are occasions
when we think il would be in better
taste for young people to omit the dis

How to Absorb an

(Phyllis Moore in Town Talk


The face which is admired for its
beauty must have a satin-smooth skin,
pink and white and youthful looking.
The only thing ! know of that can
make such complexion out of an aged,
faded, or discolored one--I mean a nat
ural, not a painted complexion--i
ordinary mercolized wax This remark
able substance literally absorbs the un-
slightly cuticle, little each day, the
clear. healthy, girlish skin beneath
gradually peeping out until within a
week or SO 1t is wholly in evidence OF
course such blemishes as freckles moth
patches, liver spots, blotches and pimp-
les are discarded with the old skin If
you will procure an ounce of mercolized
wax at the drug store, use like cold
cream every night, washing this off
mornings, you'll find it veritable

Another valuable natural treatment is
