live from hand to mouth, but withal,
trying to keep the lamp of hope burn
ing in her bosom.
Such girl believes there are but
two prospects to look forward to
either to keep on toiling or to wed
some nice young man who will Shout
der burdens and dover her with his
love.
1t cannot be denied that these girls
look eagerly forward for their Prince
Charming to cross their paths. Thus
such maidens are easy prey for the
audacious male flirt. Such men
would resent bitterly having their own
innocent sisters make the acquaint-
ance of men through a Irritation in
stead Of an honorable Introduction.
They have one code of morals for
their own home folks, but quite diff
ferent one for other girls who have
no such home protection.
There are some wealthy young men
who imagine they can do as they like
in striking up an acquaintance with
a girl whose pretty innocent face
takes their fancy. They are actuated
only by the spirit of mischief-a pas
time for the moment. There are some
poor girls who have sense enough to
give the handsome, wealthy young
man a decided snub when he attempts
to pick her up as speak easy"
There are other foolish maidens
who walk blindly into the trap. AL.
though the firt, the masher, as he is
commonly called, makes all seasons
his own, he is more apt to try to
scrape acquaintance with the poor
working girl in the summer time,
when his folks are out of town and
he can roam where he pleases and
with whom without any one In his
set knowing it. He may take the
girl whose acquaintance he has made
without an introduction to the NOV
les, or the dance hall, perchance in his
automobile for Joy ride. The girl
builds her hopes that he is in love
with her. She believes herself on
the royal road to love and happiness
ever after. A few weeks or months
after she has acquired the taste to
know what it is to have a sumptuous
dinner without paying for 1t, and life
such as the rich lead, and, 10! she is
dropped as quickly as she was picked
up. A newer fancy has crossed the
flirt's path. She is left to grieve over
what might have BEEN" It Is not to
be supposed that rich young men do
not fall in love and wed poor girls
who work for living; they often do.
A girl can rest assured, however, it
is seldom or never, that they take
to their hearts and homes as their
wives for their mothers and sisters to
love, the thougauess maidens who
have met their insincere attentions
half way and firted with them.

THE MARRIED "eAcHELoR."

IT'S sweet to think that where'er We rove
We are sure to find something blissful

And that when we're far from the lips

There is q class of men who think
It quite an art to pose az single when

Is paid to the wants OF the married
man. The bachelor, it is said, is ca

words that he is q bachelor. He al

remarks that he is living home with
his mother, but does not add that his
wife and children are also there.

his family are all at some distant re-

SHOULD A POOR MAN WE'D AN
DETERMINATIONS GIRL?

A rich mans son inherits cares:
The bank may break, the factory burn.
| His soft white hands could hardly earn
A living that would serve his turn.
| Oh. poor mans son! scorn not thy state
There Is worse WEAKNESS than thine
In being merely rich and great.
1t seems pity that good young
man should dip into LIES lottery bag
with eyes blindfolded when it comes
to selecting a sweetheart. If he has
to work for his living, he usually has
neither time nor inclination to do
much looking around. The girl he Is
brought in contact with he Is quite
sure must be the right one for him.
To be sure she is high-spirited, with
a taste for enjoyment and a knack Of
dressing better than her girl friends.
He is proud of the attention she at
tracts when he takes her out. He
laughs at her many little quips, caus-
ing passersby to think they must surely
have stepped out of fine automobile
which they left at the curb, and at
the same time cries: "Oh, If 1t were
only true!"
He sees her eyes follow wistfully
the finely-gowned women whom they
pass and whose jewels fash and spar
kle in the light. Il would look as
we'll as any of them," she whispers,
IF l were only dressed as fne!"
you look far prettier to me in your
little null Dress he answers. In
stead of blush of Joy mounting her
cheeks, she catches her breath with
a sigh.
After they wed it il a constant
struggle for him to make enough
money to supply the unnecessary
things which she Graves. He sees
how ambitious she is in her every act
and word. She wants finer home
than he can afford to pay rent for. Its
furnishings instead Of plain are ex-
travagant. He is obliged to employ
a maid-of-all-work. BY doing so he
has to work extra hours, even though
1t saps his strength and vitality. AS
a last resort he commences to borrow
wherever he can, though it is not clear

repaid. The woman whose ambition
is far greater than her love fumes and
frets when he speaks Of curtailing her
expenses. She cries out bitterly that
it was a mistake to marry him, when
she might have done so much better;
that she was intended for wealth, not
poverty. After angry pickering and
at last downright quarrels, despite
his entreaties, she packs up and goes
homo to mother.
While he Is celebrating about 60
ing to fetch her back he is served
with divorce papers, on the grounds
Of nonsupport. The law gives her her
way. He has hardly got over the
shock ere he reads in the paper of
her remarriage, this time to man
of wealth. He hopes her ambition is
satisfied at last. He wishes from the
bottom Of his heart that no could
warn all other young men who are
poor and without future prospects to
think twice ere they fall in love with
an over-ambitious girl.
