IO.DAY'S POEM
THE GIADNnss OF NATURE.

 Is this a time to be cloudy and sad When even the deep blue heavens look glad And gladness brea1hes from the blossoming ground There are notes of joy from the hang bird and wren. And the gossip Of swallow through the sky. The ground squirrel gayly ctirps by his den, And the wilding bee eums nerrily by. The clouds are at play in the azure space And their shadows at play on the bright green vale. And here they stretch to the frolic And there they roll on the easy gale. There's 3 dance Of leaves in that aspen bower. There's litter of winds in that beechen tree. There's a. smile on the fruit, and a smile on the flow'r, And a laugh from the brook that runs to the sea. And look at the broad-faced sun, how he smiles, On the aewy earth that smiles in On the leaping waters and gay young isles, Ay. look and he'll smile thy gloom
 William Cullen Bryant.

It wouldn't be natural for a girl not to look forward to summer with eager ness and longing. Her clothes need not be expensive. She wtl1 look a lit tie queen in her dower-sprinlk1ed lawn dress. blue sash and her. legnorn hat,
 with the simple bunch of daisies for
 trimming
 All the young folks she knows are
 sure to be out for a. stroll. That means groups of girls run across
 groups of young men. They stop to
 chat When she comes along her girl
 friends are sure to halt her. Introduc-
 tions follow. Young men propose out
 ings for some other day in the week
 Being thrown constantly in each others company young folks grad
 ually become interested in each other.
 Admiration deepens into a tender sem the girls who have no beaux start out to enjoy themselves anyhow. Such girls think a public picnic where any
 one may go who buys a ticket is a. boon to them It gives them a holiday in the country. There's always the girl that she will make new acquaint- anees- Girls seldom or never go alone
 to such affairs. but in two or threes. They count on hartngsa a good time by | themselves. But when they see the rest of the girls with escorts paying T. they wish they had beaux to escort them and make time pass delight- fully.
 These public picnics very often at 1 tract a class of young men who at tend with the avowed object of malz- ing the acQuaintanca of unescorted girls.
 Many maidens are too careful of their reputation to hirt with strang-
 CTS. Again. there are girls. good girls l at that, who thoug11tlesslyf and inno- gently fall into the trap, thinking it a merry lark IT these strangers happen
 to see 8 young man with whom they l have 8 little acquaintance bow to a girl they know they boldly challenge him for an introduction. Of course they are apt to meet with rebuffs by the young man responding tartly: .'I do not know you we'll enough for that. 2 EEerything goes at a. picnic, '' they declare, but they look elsewhere l for a fellow not SO particular, or for
 a young girl who has the dancing fe- ver to such a great extent that she will lose sight of the fact that ali part | ners should be duly presented<to her. The young girl who hirts with a l stranger at g. picnic deliberately dai- I lies with her good name. His pro 1 posal to escort her home should be re- fused. If she accepts it, she don't know where it will end The fellow may be a married man. or bear an un-
 savory reputation. If girls will go to pfcnics alone they should be warned I against making the acquaintance o1
 strangers without the proper introduce
 tion.

SHE WOULD WRITE BOOKS

Dear Miss Libbey:
 am a woman of, thirty-two and single. My one ambition, Is to write books. would give to the world the story of my life-it would make the most intense story ever written and-every word of it true. Of course this writing would be very valuable to any publisher who printed it. I would read it to a good publisher, but would not let it out Of nay poses- sion for any one to take down, the perhaps to print them afterward as published?
 MISs GERRITY.
 There is but one royal road to be- coming the auther of a book and that is. to send your manuscript to a publisher who has a good reputation. It is safe to assert that they are honest as a class and would not ap- propriate any part of your brain work Publishers have comptent per- sons who read each manuscript con scientio their Judgement as to whether it would be suitable for istheir readers Or not In case it is, a6eepted. the publisher opens negotia- tions with you. If refused-that is. is returned to you. You must pay the express or postage charges both ways would add that a, would-be author should not give way to discourage ment no matter how many times the manuscript comes back Send it tc another publisher and another, and another. Talent will be recognized and win out in the end e'E2verythins comes to minor her-who waits

EXTRA HAIRS.

 Instead Of accepting your unhappy lot with resignation-Febe as there is a way of escape from this state of haariness. It is really a crime against baauty for you to sit with folded hands while the tiny fuzzers grow and multiply.
 ono way of removing superduous hair is to resort to the electric needle. while it costs money to have your ex- tra haars removed in this manner. this eIectr4cai method is sure and safe.

He is always watching me, but makes no attempt to speak to me Of course my folks would find all manner of fault with him were I to speak Ito them about him. and would refuse to allow me to ask him to call. How can I make his acquaintance?
 JULIA -.
 Do not take the initiative, Julie. by forcing your acquaintance upon him whether he will or no. How do you know that he has not a. sweetheart of his own choosing? Men resent having a girl force her attentions upon them. The young man is simply courteous to you. If he were interested in you. he would find the way and means of meeting you through a proper intro duction. Always allow a man to take the initiative in this respect, I repeat
