adds, to listen to his anecdotes. She laughs. seemingly, as heartily over 9 story which he has told for the twen- tieth time as though she had never hear did before, eaying that the joke was new and amusing to her. Unlike the Jolly girl. she does not want to take the chance of losing a good feI- low whose friendship may ripen into 3 tenderer feeling for her.
 This is the kind of girl who takes pains not to fall out with men.
 The jolly girl is oyersure of her fas- cination and believes that her adorera will put up with any Of her whims good naturedIy. Ultimately she comes to the realization that no matter how jolly a girl is she is supposed to have her serious moments when one tires of laughter. There is one thing in the heart, which makes her iovab1e and the life of home and gatherings wher- ever she goes.

MY AUNT. My aunt! my dear unmarried aunt! Long years have OCT her flown; Yet still the strains the aching clasp That binds her virgin zone; know it hurts her,--though she
 looks
 As cheerful as she can; Her waist is aE1pler than her life. For life is but span My aunt, my poor deluded aunt! Her hair is almost gray; Why will she train that winter curl In such a. springlike way? How can she lay her glasses down. And say she reads as well, When through a double convex lens She just makes out to spell? Her fath her-grandpapa forgive This errfng lip it's smiles Vowed she should make the finest girl Within a hundred miles; He sent her to a stylish school; ,Twas in her thirteenth June; And with her, as the rules required, 1.-Two towels and a spoon.'' They braeed my aunt against a board, To make her straight and tall; They laced her up. they starved her To make her light and small; They pilshed her feet, they singed
 her hair.
 They screwed it up with pinss-- Oh, never mortal suffered more In penance for her sins. So when my precious aunt was done. My grandsire brought her back (By daylight, lest some rabid youth Might follow on the track9; '.Aa,s. said my grandsire, as he shook Some powder in his pan, tsTN71af ca111d -f1aie lovely creature @f7,O Against a desperate man ?''

He Fears Young Ladies.

Dear Miss Libbey;
 am d young man twenty-four years old, not handsome. Would pass in a crowd. am, think, one of thes most bashful young men in the city. Please tell me how to overcome this I like the ladies. Tn their presence am like shipwreck; do not know what to say or do. One young girl, think. would like for me to keep her company, but I am so bashful. when I see her coming my way purposely avoid her Please tell me how to act; what conversation to use when with the fair sex.
 A very strange acknowledgement indeed No one can tell you how to spur on self-conhdenee more than your own feelings. Forgetfulness con quers bashfulness.l Do not turn from a young lady. First bow as you pass her Next time talk briefly to her. By and by. you will find you have gained composure and have lost fear of meeting young ladies.

Dear Miss Lfbbey:
 We are ichums seventeen and eighteen years old. We have been go- ing to college. but money matters compelled us to stop school. While in college we kept company with two young men. They are well respected and good looking. We love them and think they care for us. They want us to marry them Our folks think we are too young. So we have planned an elopenent. will await your advice with much anxietyg
 The very worst step that any girl could think of taking is the plunge of an eIopement, Hardly if ever, does it turn out we'll 1t changes the after life to sorrow, and to a realization of what might have been had that low ing prospered we'll Act right, in this respect .and you will do better after wards, girls.

WHY MEN FALL OUT
 WITH JOIhY GIRLS

T 1oh! say not womanse false as fair,
 That like the bee she ranges; Still seeking flowers more sweet and
 rare
 As hekIe fancy changes. 4h, no! the love that first can warm
 Will leave her bosom never; No second passion eier can charm She loves. and loves forever.r
 
 If there is a girl of whom her c11ums stand in awe it is the girl. with ever ready laugh on her lips, the witty re- tort, the sparkling eye and the gem magnetize the beaux at first sight. She is never without a dozen offers from eager escorts to the ball. oyster supper or theatre.
 She is besieged with partners for the dances. though a dozen prettier girls are Wa1lAowers. with annoyance on their faces.
 To be sure. these girls are secretly leetured at home upon their lack of 1iveliness, They are assured that no man wants dull companion. They are told that he will soon tire of the monotony of girl who is no conver-g sationalist and who is apparently i'll at ease in his presence and will seek whatever gayety may be found else where, Although old ladies are went to say: There never was a shoe but that a mate for it was made There never was a lass. though she was de- mure. or bubbling over with mirth, but a swain was in waiting to woo and wed her, whose ideal was that particular girl, and none other.
 The lively Young man likes the quiet girl who listens to his bonmots in rapt appreciation. He does not get on well with the jolly girl No matter how clever a story he may tell, she can spring a live1ier one that makes hls fall flat. He feels crestfallen, even ir- irtab1e. Their natures, being too much alike, are sure to clash The result is that they fall out. The jolly girl has so many irons in the fire that she doesn't care the snap of her finger for any one lover.
