without taking the trouble to mention

make objection, and she would have
the trouble Of talking them over to
her view and wishes.
The wilful girl is usually overroman-
tic. She considers herself as capable
Of choosing her own lover in the face
OF any opposition, just as she has al
ways overruled opposition In selecting
her hats and gowns Of bizarre slit.
She intends to please herself. She
will have no interference in her love
affairs.
The dashing young fellow who Is liv-
ing on expectations, visits her home
regularly. He Is not the type OF man
her parents would wish for, yet they
hope against hope that love will spur
him on to get into some successful
business, and thus prove his WORTH
ness of her, or, II he fails to make
good through not trying, that the
glamour will fall from her eyes-and
she will see him as others see him.
They do not favor a sporty young
man, with a handsome face, who in
tends that his good looks should do
the work for him and earn as re-
ward a comfortable home to step into

In homes where father rules the
household, he does not make himself
scarce In the parlor when young man
calls upon his daughter. The self
wiled daughter is not averse to letting
father know that they can get along
without him; that she can never hope
for a proposal OF marriage under such
conditions.
The parents, to whom their daugh-
ter's happiness Is above all else, allow
her to override their judgment as to
what Is best for her by permitting his
continued visits. 1t is not until girl
sees such fellow In his true colors
that she realizes the grievous wrong
she did her parents In encouraging the
young man against their wishes.
Remember, 1t matters not to what
extent a girl may have her own way
in the household In most instances,
she should be governed by her par
ents wishes in her heart affairs. Ear
nest parental eyes look through the
most clever roues disguise. They are
quick to discover "the wolf In Sleeps

Good Advice.

The poultry experts Of the depart
ment OF agriculture claim that It Is ad
visable to market the old hens in the
summer as soon as the second laying
season Is over, as hens over two years
old rarely lay az many eggs as they dc
in their pullet and yearling seasons
Keep the nests clean; provide one
nest for every four hens; gather the
eggs twice daily; keep the eggs in q
cool, dry room or cellar, and market
them at least twice a week. Market
all cockerels except those intended fol
breeding purposes. as soon as they
attain broiler size, for they will pay
a larger profit at this time than If held
until fall, when the market becomes
oyercrowded.
