Boy and Girl Love Affairs

lover, since her mother thinks that l6
years is too young for marriage.
In each and every case the same rule
applies, What shall you do. my dear
boys and girls? Study, work. fill your
minds so full of activity and ambition
that love will take secondary place UNI
til you are old enough to understand what
love really is.
What you are craving now is excite
ment and emotion. You are at a period
OF growth when you are changing in
every way. What you care most for
now will probably not appeal TO you two
years-or one year-or perhaps six months
from now. - o.
DO the things you enjoyed most two
years ago seem very worth while now?
Wouldn't you hate to be doomed to
spend the rest Of your life with the boy
you admired five years ago when he let
you have bite of his red apple at re-
cess?
The 17-year-old girl who refuses to take
her boy lover seriously is wise. So ia
the lad who Is polite to Miss Fifteen
when he sees her, but devotes himself to
foot ball, or rowing. or history, or bus
mess, or whatever wholesome interest in
life and progress ne is following when
ever she is not around to challenge his
admiration.
Omaha daily bee., 1914-11-27

Little Miss Fifteen, what do you know
about the business of being a wife? Can
you keep house, cook mend, sweep,
bring up a family, soothe a tired man
when he comes home from work at night
and think unselfishly OF the happiness of
those who depend upon the woman of the
household? Or do you think marriage
means someone to make love to you.
buy you clothes and escort you to
dances?
Devote yourself to the serious problem
of growing up to be a fine, sane, capable
woman. Then you will attract love, for
1t will be your due.
The mother who thinks 16 is too young
for marriage has experienced marriage
and loves her daughter too well to let
her go into It unprepared.
Boys and girls In their teens should
not go a-sweethearting. They should try
being friends and should save up TO
nance for time when they have ma
tured enough to get the full flavor OF IL.
Don't mortgage your mature love to a
passing fancy OF your youth, II your
boyhood love lasts for three or four
years. then you are safe 70 trust 1t for
lifetime, Marry your child sweetheart.
But test your youthful love before you
risk your whole future on 1t.

Economy and Thrift in the Home

making. A girl who has not taken tha
school course in sewing may prove her
ability to enter the dressmaking class by
presenting for examination a garment
made by herself and passing an entrance
examination.
Girls OF II years old may enter the
trade sewing or dressmaking classes,
girls OF IS years old are eligible for the
simpler course of home drcssmaking.
A student has the opportunity to make
two gowns for herself during the term.
Tho material she supplies herself, with
the approval of the instructor. The per-
sonal interest thus given in making
dresses for herself is stimulating to a
pupil.
The aim throughout the course Of
study is that students shall acquire skill,
develop initiative and ambition and learn
sense of responsibility and have a
broadened view OF the general Industrial
conditions In the community.
Whether a girl intends 20 use her train
ing in special branch OF work. or for
her own personal education, she will have
learned system, perseverance, and aceur-
acy. Her faculties for observation and
her inventive and artistic sense will have
been developed She will have the power
10 be of use to herself and TO others, and
will be more interesting from having Gull
tivated her talents.

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

"In spring the young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love" And
in the springtime of life fancy turns with
more and more lightness to thoughts OF
love. But this young love is like tender
springtime flowers-like the anemone and
the arbutus-in that it does not wear well.
Several letters have come from very
very young lovers asking for advice.

old and very much in love with girl OF
IT years who refuses to take his love
seriously.
| And she is quite right, for five years

ferent qualities from those that not at

Thrift and economy are OF serious inn

Part of the education of every woman In
times gone by, was to be skilful In needle
work.
1t is to be regretted that modern girls
have not been taught sewing, as a rule.
But this old-fashioned accomplishment Is
becoming n new-fashioned one. Girls

The girl who understands how to plan,

make them over. learns how to be self
