 Once upon time the Rose Fairy two little green leaves on her big pink rose bush and so she knew that soon she would see the little roseb,ads and then would come the beautiful roses that she loved so dearly.
 She skipped away to tell her friend the golden humble bee the good news. He was as glad as she was and asked her if she didn't want to sit on his back and he would fly around with her to the other rose bushes and sec if they had any leaves. This pleas ed her and she sprangs up and off they few
 Yes, the others had leaves and would soon be green with them, A bird was building 8 nest in a tree not far away from the bushes and when 1t Saw the Rose Fairy, it sang Good Morning, kind friend. It is Spring once more and we arc back again
 Every one loved the Rose Fairy and did all they could to help and watch over her.
 Back they flew to her own rose bush and she spent the rest of the day digging around the roots of the bush and batting the earth firm so the bush would grow very fast. She had worked hard and was glad when a.n- other fairy brough her supper and she ate it and then crept into her .cozy little bed and went to sleep.
 She dreamed that a fairy Prince had come and kissed her and told her it was time to get up. When she woke she saw 1t was only a branch of the rose bush. and it had tickied her nose and woke her up.
 The sun had risen and she hoped out of bed, washed her face in 8 dew drop and went to work with the other fairies to get everything ready for Spring.

Dear Miss Libbey:

 With the water that is past Z z
 When q maid is in her early teens the worlds outlook appears bright and rosy to her. She has no care. no troubles. Her one thought is enjoy- n1ent and making the most Of it..
 If her folks are not well to do, the hFst serious thought that confronts s her is what a help she would be to her loved ones if che could but turn her graceful dancing to account or have her nlach-pradsed voice heard in private entertainments
 Some of the family suggests why not marry nice youag man who would shoulder her support and lifes worries The maiden in her early teens laughs that notion to scorn
 Marry for support Not she! She eiled her sleeping heart. She has the notion that no girl should marry and settle down until the fun of being a merry, rollicking girl is quite over She would live life free as bird g. Hitting here and there as fancy wills, The caged bird is housed and fed, but she watches her sister birds in their freedom with her heart in her eyes and wings almost broken from beat ing against her giIded bars
 The young girl watches with admir- ation the fair saleswcmen who have please, and who board where they like. Her eyes follow the troops of young women from factory and shops They don't have to ask odds Of any plan and put Up with anything and werything for support. When it comes to marrying. those girls will not take hlsba nd unless 1t is a love rnafcb. pure and simple. The young girls with those notions are the ones that forge ahead in the world. Later ons we see them as buyers for great mercantile businesses, and the heads of de partnents, and all high positions E which the bachelor girl proudly fIls.

HE TOOK aRoCEEs, ORDERS


 Dear Miss Libbey:
 young man who used to call at the house to take orders for grocer ses fell greatly in love with me, and sent me note asking if he could take me to q ball.
 My aunt lwhom live with) was dreadfully angry. complaining to the grocer. She threatened to stop trad ing there if he continued to employ that young man, When the fellow heard about 1t he was so angry he quit that place going to another town nearby. Very lately he was left a big fortune by an uncle who died in Germany. He came back and bought out fine grocery where we trade. but he won't serve us. He does not notice me.
 My aunt feels badly about coming between us, and would do anything in her power to get him to call or invite me out. What can I do to get him to like me again
 As the young man has become dis- enchanted. see no way by which you could regain his favor. One cannot play batt1edore and shuttlecock with honest admiration. Love is just the same whether it beats in the heart of a rich young man or poor one.

"The barbados along the principal
