 SweethearTs Fear.

Paterson, N J., July 13.-To dis prove charges that she is subject to ''fits' so that her sweetheart will mar ry her, pretty nineteen-year-old Sara Touv1an of Straight street has signed an agreement with Jan Hareb, her fance, to remain under observation a month.
 A short time ago, when the coup8s announced their engagement and were making plans for their marriage, an enemy wrote letters to Hareb stating that Miss Touvfan was subject to ''ffts'' and might be seized with them at any time.
 Hareb did not believe the story, but the letter made him uneasy. Miss Tou- vian then agreed to place herself un- der observation.

MIIAIEs CUP RACE.

Once upon a. time MiIlie's mother was cleaning off the supper table and Jas MI1lie teased so hard, she promised her she could help wash the dishes housekeeper instead Of a. tiny tot who could not even reach the kitchen table. much less hold the big p1atters and pans which mother had to wash.
 Her mother was called to the door to talk to neighbor just as she began to put the dishes in the pan and AGilIie was left alone in the kitchen She thought she would surprise her moth CT by washing the dishes while she was out so she got a kitchen chair. put it up close to the sink and, climb ing up. turned the water into the pan and began to put in the dishes.
 First she put in two cups and as they began to float around she thought it would be much better fun to have a boat efcup'' race than to wash all the dishes. sEo she started each cup from opposite side fof the pan, giving them a push and then watched to see which one would strike the side of the pan first.
 The yellow cup beat the white one every time. so,pretty soon. she changed and put the two side by side She discovered that by turning the water into the edge Of the pan 1t made a swirl which sent the cups swishing around the circlerof the pond. first one cup being ahead and then the other.
 N1i1lie screamed with delight and she held many races before mother came back.
 when her mother did arrive Mi1lie felt very sorry that she had not at tended to business and surprised mother by having the dishes all done but she was not scolded for her play for mother was a little girl herself and knew what a temptation it is to play when little ones should work.

POINTING our GIRLS

You touched my heart; 1t gave a.

 Just like a rose

 It's bloom is always yours unfal
 You bid 1t close
 There are girls who are modest al- most to shypess. There are orners who seem to take delight by dressing 1o1id1y--that is, wearing skirts so tight that they cannot step on a street car safely, or pork-pie hats so bizarre that they attract attention wherever they go, and are always pointed out. as e&les Of audacity. They do not have a good time where they ara not noticed. admired and catered fe.s especially by the young men.
 Every girl seems to endeavor to specialize in some particular accom- plishment Bach likes to be pointed out, to have follks say Of her as she passes by: sSThere goes the spright- Hest tango dancer in town Or, You ought to hear that girl play the plano. Why she'd make Paderewski sit up and take notices
 Other girls like to be pointed out for their beauty of face, and to draw particular attention to their comedy features they make liberal dips into the paint jar, and rouge saa1czsr, to say nothing of tinting their hair the pOpulaT SnaQSst C11S s7WF1SS0 11kOt5AA 4S louder than her cornpanion's makes a Ibid for attention, as do girls who are foolish enough to tell risque stories in the parIor, thinking it cute and that they will be pointed out as being cleY- CT and vivacious
 While young men may be eager to be introduced to these different types of girls, or to beau them about for a while when it comes to marrying we'll that's d1aite a. different matter.
 Tt's@a very strange type Of man who would want to mafry the loud-ta1k- ing, slangy painted girl who has mo thoughts higher than tangoing or ere ating eensation- It is the modest incohspicuous girl who. wins a man s respect that ends in love. There are no t1g1er words than those which the poet has given us: The rose which all are admir1ng is not the rose for mel I'd rather have the modest maid whom no one seems to seer
 The unobtrusive girl, who shrinAs from being pointed out. never loses her hold on the friendship she makes The dover who courts her is sure that he has got a prize. He loses no time in bringing her to the altar.
 His home is one of contentment with her by his side He trusts to her good Judgment and wisdom never to shame him by toud dressing or boisterous manner. It is most always the girls w91o call attention to them selves on the street or in public places who are obliged to walk che road of single blessedness A girl should think this over and give no cause to be pointed out

Dear Miss Libbey:
 E am a young man of tweuty-seven. have been going to see a young lady for the last six months. I have but. one fault to find with her. She has d little dog a spaniel. that. she is de-. ctdedly7 fond of. The beast is forever in her lap, and if | attempt to sit near her, he growlS mighty uglyl I have asked her to take the dog into another room and leave him there un- til [ am gone. This she indignantly persists she will not do, and gives me that crazy old line about. 'fIf you don't love my dog you don't love me. I can't love the ugly little mutt. Shall I stop going to see her, or. do you know of any way such dog could be gotten rid of? All this may seem foolish to you. Miss Libbey. but I as- sure you 1t is of much iinportance to me.

 Patience on your part will conquer at last. The girl who is fond of help less animals must have a. kind, warm, affectionate heart. Kindness to tha dog will awaken gratitude in her breast Do not let a little affair like that part you from a girl you care for and who cares for you.

it seem to you that l am entitled to
know why she is being so suddenly
taken away from me. and what is
the change in life which Mr.. o'Neill
referred to in his letter."
The smile which had been playing
around the Bishops face was smitten
away from it by that question, and
he looked anXiously across at my
father.

then, while my heart thumped in my
bosom and the Reverend Mother
stroke my hand to compose me, the
bishop gave brief explanation.
The time had not come when it
would be prudent to be more def
mite, but he might say that Mr..
O'Neill was trying to arrange a happy
and enviable future for his daugh-
ter, and therefore he wished her to
return home to prepare for it.

father ceased to be the natural guar
dian of his child? Has he not been
so since the beginning of the world ?
Doesn't the church itself build its
laws on that foundations"
Does -it?" said the Reverend
Mother shortly. And then q could
feel her hand trembling as she
spoke): Some of its servants do, |
know. But when did the Church say
that anybody-no matter whoa
father, or anybody else-should take
