END OF SUMMER ROMANCE.

When I loved you, I can't but allow,
 I had many an exquisite minute;
 But the scorn that I feel yor you now
 Hath even more luxury in ii.
 The kind of a summer most single people have enjoyed is summed up by the ronances that have been theirs. The hearts have thrown off their cares and have become entwined about some pleasing ideals, whom they believe It was their lot to adore.
 Most young men who have had the pleasure of dancing attendance upon girl in the summer season expect that the girl will entertain them in her home sitting-roorn when the golden days are over and she has returned to +her place, where the same faces she is accustomed to see greet her. A thought of his taking her out for some even ing anustments or to hear the band play in the woodlawn park, at a lawn party or picture shows will be glad reminders of his liking for her and their little ronance-wiH increase s he comes to see her the year out, and they renew their chats devotedly.
 Besides, as they become better ac- qua fitted from his frequent visits, ne will see her in her home life and sur roundines Most young men believe that girls whom they have met and been pleased to escort steadily should consider them as bestsof friends until they have asked for a warmer place Tn her heart. If a young man wishes to
 be the favored suitor, he will be sure i to tell her that of his own accord, in
 his own good time, after he has found out whether she likes him better than others, and cares enough for him so that they can go through life together or not.
 ! It is all very well for friends tot sug- gest that summer ronances generally iv, .icrr hTTf+ are sometimes obstacles in the way that, tend to serious consideration on the part of both. If she is an older sister the family may owe her much,
 she considers. If they are in com fortabIe appearing yet limited circum- ters may have need for while of her earnings and help. Her attractiveness and yearnfngs for romance, she has sacrificed on the altar of sisterly ddeI- fly more than once. They cannot af- ford to part with her help and she has hardly reached young womanhood without having had more than one summer romance come and go with a blight.
 l But fate is Kind after all when com panions single her out and come to the door for a chat, glance of her eyes,
 a reminder of sunny days romance not forgotten. It is said by sage and poets ithat .tThe right one is sure to come up I to your door, When this occurs the citadel of the heart is stormed beyond recall The old love springs into emo tions.
 Let no true, single man think for 9 moment that his sweetheart of other days has not Ionged and waited to see
 him. Warm-1earted young women all
 ways regard their romances as the happiest of memories, which they l would gladly live over again. The ex- fperience of love has impressed them for all time to come. It is easy to re- kindle the flame Of love in their hearts for one who might be dear to them in their lone secIusion. N4irth is theirs at the very expectancy of the coming wooer. The sensation of the one TO-
 nance is like g1adsome bird note that the heart to loves sweetness, which
 never ends.
