particular notice of this fact. To-
day, in this glorious spring wealth
er, when you, with Nature, are
just bubbling over with the joy
of living, you just cannot go aim
lessly along, you must have a
definite purpose in view, you must
be sure of yourself and your steps
must be fearless, alert and possess
the spring which betokens accord

No longer the black butterflies
hover about; instead, you glory
in the glad warm sunshine and as
you fairly drink in the fragrance
of the myriad-colored flowers
waited by the gentle embracing
winds. Look up at the clear-blue
sky instead of xeying your gaze
upon the grounds. OF course, the
grass and the flowers hold a great
attraction for you, but today is
springtime and your spirit scars
to the heights and you feel just
like "hitching your wagon to the
stars" and riding speedily to the
fairyland Of your dreams.
After an hours tramp in this
mood there will be roses in your
cheeks and the tired lines will
have disappeared-and as for the
little troubles which had vexed
you before you had started out

You can help me.

gether for year and half.
He has always treated me
nicely and thinks the world

turn him down on this ac-
count? He used to drink
quite a bit, but has quit of
his own accord and he has d

formed for all time, but there Il
always a doubt. The subject o
is one about which q
man or woman cannot be too
careful. You do not necessarily
have to marry him; neither dc
you have to give him up.
You are young-too young IL
marry for few years. Wait I'M
til there is no doubt; wait until
he has proven his words true. II
your case, the consequence of Z
few years will prove no Lachesil

For a Sisters Sake.

Dear Miss Grey: Your
good advice TO Others has
brought me to you to solve
question which 1 cannot.
Miss Grey, l have a sister
two years older than myself.
1 love her dearly and would
like to help her IL possible.
She goes with about five diff
ferent men mot boys) and
only one of which my mother
knows of. She tells me of
things she does and places
she goes and l do not consid-
err Ii right.
1t has come to the point
where people have begun to
talk about her and her chum.
Do you suppose 1 can stop
this i'm any way? II SO,
please answer. She commu-
nicates with men I'm other
cities whom she has met at
dances and such places.
She poses as 10 and 10,
but really is only 10, and
am IA. DO not tell me to
tell my parents, as / would
not. A LOVING SISTER.
A.-Why you refuse to tel
your parents, / know not; but o
this / am positive: Girls of 1,
should not be given the liberty o
choosing their own acquaintance
or the privilege of attending an!
place of amusement they desire
II you have reasoned ant
pleaded in every possible name
with your sister, the only RICH
thing to do is to appeal to YOU
parents. This need not be dom
in a tell-tale manner. Your sis
ter need not even know of it. Al
long as you know of her conduc
and keep 1t secret, you are {
party to such actions and almos
as guilty as she.
Ask your parents 20 arrange
for your sister to entertain he
friend at home in the evening
from now on. Girls of Ia and II
should spend happy evenings a
their own fireside and shout,
seldom attend dance and thel
accompanied by parents or reli
able friends.
& Whatever be the consequences
it Is your duty as a little siste
to, warn your parents of your sis
tors danger.
