IF GIRLS WE'D ON BIRTHDAYS. |
There are two births-the one when
light
First strikes the new-awakened
sense;
The other when two souls unite.
We must count our life from I
thence
When you loved me, and l loved you,
Then both of US were born anew"
l cannot understand why it is that |
az days after very ardent admirer
has paid court TO a girl hasty pro-
posal sprung to his lips, with the I'M
usual entreaty added: ''It's not bit
of use waiting too long for the knot |
to be tied. Six months, do you tell |
me, before / can claim the dearest |
girl in this wide world as my own? |
Tut! tut! you are not very anxious
to exchange your beau for a husband,

His sweetheart was quite a diplo-
mat for one of her age. Those ten
der words were all in all to her. What
young woman, in such ideal moments
as those in which he had popped the
question and asked when the mar
| riage day was to be in one and the
same breath, could have summoned
up courage to lift her rosy face to
/ the one which bent over hers and tell
! him the reason why?

ceived a double heart offering at one
and the same time whose head was
not bit turned, and the wish found
Judgment in her mind, that she
should have good times while sin
gle, fitting, butterfly-like, among her
J girl chums at gatherings, and least,
but by no means lastly, having a
birthday party, the last one she ex-
pected to give out invitations for be-
fore leaving her mothers roof for an
other.
There are quite a number of ro-
mantle girls who rather prefer fuss
and iollity made over their birth
DAYS, which all their mates could en-
Joy, than to have a tiresome, brilliant
marriage 4hat his friends and hers
could dance at her wedding and en-
viously comment that they were
soaring higher than they could af-
ford. The matter-of-fact lover has
no such longings to edge. into the
happiest time of his life-that of
matrimony. He couldn't see why
she couldn't give up her birthday
celebrating and make it the joining
of Cupid's hands and hearts in one
and the same day. One would spoil
the fun of the other. 1t was never
heard Of, marriage and birthday to
puzzle gift giving, he was told. She
had often thought of how pretty and
simple she would look when troop
ing about on her birthday with girl
buds, some of whom expected to be
her fascinating bridesmaids, and to
return the wedding favor by hus-
band of each in the near future.
''When she will, she will, you may
depend upon it; and when she won't
she won't so there's an end ont" he
conned over.
Birthday and marriage day should
not be cause to put them asunder
he concluded. He was blithe as q
lark, returning from visit to the
farm he was enthusiastic over, as
to where he hoped they would settle
down. The little cottage and farm
were so much nicer than accustomed
homes, where hustle and party Civ

for a husband to keep track of g

candles in her last birthday cake.
