! LlFE'S SHATTERED PLANS.
Our day dreams bring Iong-lOst Of the past
Back To view:
Pictures Of friendships cot destined to last.
Loves that grew weak meath adveTsities' blast
Every man and woman makes glorious
/ plans for their future when life is In Its
! morning. Young men are full of am
| bition. They plan first for a business that
/ shall prosper; then Ct mes the thought OF
home OF their own. and a wife.
The plans or young girls are mostly
irazy taking no definite shape. They look
eageriy forward to happy girihood and
the pleasures which jewel it. Here the
;imid maiden's plans halt There are
others with further reaching day dreams
OF ltver who shall one day come from
them Iut. and the romance will lead to
the pcaiing OF marriage bells.

But aIack and alas.
The young mans ambition leads him
into the thick OF Iife's battles the sport
for tho" Who nave been born with a
silver spoon in their mouths They grasp
every opportunity which he is striving
for. And one Of these falls in love and
marries the girl whom he has set his
heart upon. He sits down amid the
wreck OF his plans. facing life's truth
That which We aim for we seldom ac-
complish as VIC had planned il. 1t is al
ways the unexpected which happens
turns our feet into unknown paths.
The girl who made such roseate plans
does not ind that her road runs as
smooth as glass. She has her ups and
downs. her little troubles, heartaches
and jealous:ss. Her chum cuts her cut
with the college boy whom she was sure
was to be Der fate. She has a bakers
dozen Of lovers and wouId-be admirers
ere Mr.. Right comes along.
She does not meet him either at ball
or "leighing party. as she had pictured.
oh the contrary, he comes on business

her way through the darkness and
storm. She invites him in to take a Gun of
coffee. The night is coming on. so bit
ter cold. That coffee sends a glow to his
heart. Ere he leaves they plan to 90
through life together hand in hand.
The planning of the welded pair Is
quite different. They turn no false light
upon their hopes. They are too wise
to long for the unsttainable. They have
reached an age when they can appre-
ciate the fruits of a well-spent life. Ye.
who would forbid the making Of glorious
plans in youth-time? Expectation is
truly a beacon light. Sometimes unwise
plans are shattered.
