Much ado there was, God wot;
He would love and she would not;
She said. Never man was true
He said. None was false to you.
There are many classes Of girls, some
Of whom are popular In their early
teens, whose faces are very seldom
seen among their girl chums' lively
gatherings. Bright hum Of voices,
laughter and jolly merry making APP
peal to them, Just az.others fancy when
girls meet and have good times. In
vitAtions are, not lacking and those who
invariably send their little notes OF re-
greet are the very ones who listen visit
fully, their hearts In their mouths as
to the next gala affair and Of the nice
young men and maids who Will be
there.
Their cheeks flush hotly as their
eyes con over the words which mean
so much of pleasure in the invitation.
The brilliant lighted scene Of girls In
their fluffy white gowns and young
meE bowling attendance to their fair
partners, the tables grooming with
dainty CONNECTIONS and odorous flow
ers pop into rosy imagination, until
finally she is in mood of uncertainty,
which amounts almost to q despair as
she reviews what her own presence
would mean there. The handsome card
she had been deeply interested In res
ceiving falls from her lap. She takes
in the situation critically, with q pang
In her heart.
Young ladies who were most popu-
lar with each other, as we'll as with
the beaux, would predominant in that
lively crowd. If she were there, her
besetting bashfulness would spoil tina
fun of the evening. Cupid would not
single her out, but would be apt to call
attention to her strained, reserved, over
sensitive way and, as she hurried home,
to care little about meeting her again.
Others pity the young girl who goes
to places where she might enjoy pleas
ant acquaintance and have good
time If she were not kept back by be-
ing in the old rut Of wall flower"
which she enforces on herself. Often
II rests with the girls to offer them
selves as partners in some new amuse-
ment which is designed to bring girls
and beaux together, such as promo
nades, dancing, tableaux. choruses and
chasing under the mistletoe bopgh,
eyading pursuers. ia&
The less they know about the pre-
else steps they should take the more
they join in over a rollicking laugh,
over some trifling mistake they STUN
bled into, the less self-conscious and
painfully bashful their hours will
count for them. They should venture
round in bright anticipation Of some
thing new coming their way, and keep
the. heart light. bubbling with cheer
and good fellowship, drawing the at
tention of young men and girls toward
them.
u II they are charming and forgetful
of self they will find partners spring up
even In the most miraculous manner.
They will take well at this party, and
be invited and looked for at the next.
BY that time, the whole secret OF q
girls popularity will be well realized
by the once bashful, shrinking class of
girls. who at last concluded the only
way to do was to put the best foot for
ward at every place.
There Is only one advantage which
young girls must not think Of being
too forward In and that Is In exerting
themselves to frame their own futures.
Cupid has this right. If left alone,
the bert intended will single out the
maid from far or near. The betrothal
time will crown the golden hour whep
true heart meets true heart.
