The going together in crowds is

one wishes and does not fill the mind
with thoughts of marriage when the

Of such things.

together it would be silly for them to
address each other as Mr.. or Miss, but
when forming new acquaintance it
is much better to avoid too much famil-

it would be necessary for a girl to call
a boy up over the phone. 1t should
never be made a practice, as it is OBJ

cheapens a girl.

little wren houses. And very in
Eiting they looked, you may be sure.
Poor little Mrs. Robin wanted so
much to live in one of the houses.
She simply couldn't forget very mar
row escape her babies had last year
when cat-a big sleek cat nearly,
nearly, nearly got her dear babies. But
for the fact that a neighbours dog trot-
ted into the yard and diverted her
mind, that cat would surely have killed
and eaten every robin baby! So nat
urally Mrs. Robin sighed for the safety
of a really truly house with a front
door too small for cats!
But her signing did no good, for a
robin is too large to get through the
door of a wren house.
She didn't give up without a trial,
you may be sure. For several hours
after she first saw the house she tried
desperately to get in that tiny door, she
pecked it, she clawed and she scolded
it vigorously, but it got no larger.
So finally she gave up and built her
nest in nearby apple tree.
But | mean to see who gets that
house." she declared TO Mr. Robin.
Il mean to be very particular about our
ncighbors"
For several days nobody came, then
one morning very cunning Mr.. and
Mrs. Wren flew into the yard
"Oh lookp exclaimed Mrs. Wren,
there is a dear little house. It's just
exactly what we were looking fort"
To be sure it is chirped Mr. Wren
IN delight and then unfortunately he
looked around When you have found
exactly what you want il is very
bad plan to look any further, you will
ind trouble every time
Trouble is exactly what Mr.. Wren
found-trouble in the form of two
other little wren houses
oh. look at those" the foolish fell
low exclaimed
And of course Mrs. Wren looked.
Aren't they lovely" she cried, I'VE
must look those over before we settle
in any. Maybe those are better than
the first one we saw"
So they looked them over. They

The latest enormity by the English
suffragettes Is the attempt Of two Of
them to dynamite the cottage in which
Robert Burns was born. The Bard Of
Ayr has no further use for the cottage,
it is true, but the place is. a sacred
shrine to a multitude Of people who
love the poet and his works, and who
would be inexpressibly panied were
the building in which he was born,
and around which cluster SO many
memories. to be destroyed. OF course
It is this very fact which gives point
to the monstrous action Of these in
a women. The more sacred a thing
Is the more they desire to destroy it.
There is force in the suggestion Of
DR.. Lyman Abbott hat these women
should be treated as insane patients,
and confined in asylums where they
could be properly treated until they
have given evidence Of being cured Of
their malady. OF course, If this were
done, there would remain the prob
lem Of what to do with them in case
OF a hunger strike. Would they be
forcibly fed, or would they be allow
ed to starve themselves to death?
What do they do with any other crazy
person in such a case?
