What lies too deeply hid;
 Nor to know things
 Where knowledge is forbid.
 It is a pity that maidens who are young and beautiful are not always wise, especially in the choice of 9 lover. As there is a ca1low age in youth, there is also a calloW age in girls when they have just turned six teen or thereabouts. They feel the importance of the dawning of young womanhood, and have vague Ilo- ton that the time is ripe for some hero to fall in love with them.
 The male hirt and ne'er-do-weil dandy make easy conquests of these girlish, unsophisticated hearts. Those who are interested in her welfare take steps at once to break off the love af-s fair by reasoning with her. showing that there's many a. man makes love who trusts to luck as to what would pay for the bread and butter after marriage.
 It is not expected that oId heads could be put on new shoulders that those in the blush of early maiden hood should weigh anything concern ing love in worldly scales. They meet couraged with heart-wrung sobs and teArs
 At the interview which is supposed to be their last one the girl tells him it is decreed that they must part, but the crafty wooer, who has been bakers dozen of girls. is ever ready to act the part which will arouse her sympathy.

 What youthful maiden very much in love can withstand such an ap- peal--fnd it in Nh@r heart to say him nay? She receives back her love to1x- ems of<the happy past.

She feels in duty bound to exchange few. words with him. Without the, least inten- ton on her part, the very young girl is drawn into cIandestine meetings which he planned and met with sue- cess in carrying out Such affairs as this are apt to lead to e1opements or secrets marriages. The girl who con sents to secret love making walks slowly but surely to the edge of a precipiee.
 Young girls may not guard their own hearts with care, but they should obey home folks and consider it not only their duty but that they are in honor bound not to withhold love se- crets from them- Secret love affairs rarely, if ever, turn out we'll
 The girl who refuses to meet her lover in secret takes a wisest and best stand. Let the lover who is not encouraged by a girls relatives, prove
