tered. From girlhood's days to young
womanhOod's realm, bosom friends
cling closely and some too intimately,
claiming control over confding ones
that amounts to fascination. What they
do not find out from these unwise conf
dantes is not worth knowing, let alone
keeping their secrets intact. Girls are
at times drawn to one another in
friendship; if they make good head
way, being anxious to see more of
each other, the ways as we'll as the
going about of one often yields to the
other in uncomfortable will power.
On the start of theii acquaintance
they are far and apart from some
other, only on speaking terms until
the ice of reserve is melted. Then
it does not take long for flame of
devotion to spring rp and at some
unlucky opportunity they pour out all
the pent-up wrongs they fancy are
theirs, feeling sure and relieved that
the burden had been cast into
friends bosom which beats only with
pure sympathy for their unhappy lot.
Here comes the old, old saying:
"She told friend of hers all about
So-and-So. That friend let her own
friends into the odd secret Each
promised it should not be repeated,
never to go further. But l overheard
it in roundabout fashion, put this and
that together, and now l could boldly
L0r. al CIR IN,
a nutshell"
Girls whose hearts are most liable
to err in this unwise choice of friends
are to be found by the score every
where and any place. They are mostly
good-dispositioned girls, of affection
ate natures, who are lonely and whose
wish is to find just sucn resourceful
friends who will drive dull care away;
those whom one will put her arms
about and do so many obliging things
for. 1t never enters the mind of the
woman who casts her burden on the
wrong friend whether it is wise or
bound to end in the bitterest feud be-
tween them some day.
1t is only a brave woman whose
good common sense is the means of
rescuing her from the peril. The
bosom friend who keeps sacredly all
tabs on other peoples business is not
worth this eye-opening about. She is
a paste treasure whom many have
found out.
1t isn't the easiest thing in the
world to find a number of best friends
alike, all disappointing and abusing
the pitiful trust imposed upon them in
a burst of confidence. The really good
friends that the heart should go out to
are not the pretentious, delightful
appearing, brilliant, push-forward per-
sons who infer that it seems as if
they had known you for a lifetime,
and who throw out fiattering compli-
ments whenever you meet. Girls had
better stay at home and prudently
take plenty of time to consider wisely
the ideals which they would raise
when they would go out to see those
who have neither head nor heart for
the unwritten pathOs of others. Max
ing friends is we'll enough in its place
and when people are thrown together
Carefully they should pick their bosom
friends if they regard having peace
and good will instead of getting into
trouble in the future. Gladly turn to
those you have met whom you can
learn to love better. who improve on
acquaintance, who look on the bright
side with you instead of constantly
presenting unfavorable predictions. if
you would be happy.

1t would seem that love brings to
some hearts what is felt as a tinge
of sorrow and to others constant glad
ness. Betrothal time is perhaps one
of the happiest periods of two hearts.
The course of true love runs smoothly
then, with but few exceptions, while
a sighted sweetheart is a Notifying
happening, subjecting her to ridicule
instead of undying love. The wonder
is that love can ever change within
two hearts which seem only to beat
for each other while life lasts.
Life is sweet and love too precious
to waste or lose. No grief equals
parting from one-time devotion; no
pain is harder to undergo; for it is
complaint that seemingly has no cure.
All girls should beware of incon-
slant lovers, who break the bonds of
loyal love ruthlessly, unpardonably.

God pity those who affect to sheer
and ridicule sentiment-that pure, ten
der emotion which is the pivot OF the
worlds happiness!
If the parents of those who scott
at love had not looked and been at
tracted to each other, courted and
wed, the scoffer would not have been
here to cast his slurS upon affection.
That there should be a magnetic force
to bring together hearts intended for
each other should not be disputed.
The most profound thinkers in every
age have recognized the worth of SEN
timent and voiced their conviction in
words that ring true and find an echo
in uncalloused hearts.
The following are pearls of thought
which make sentiment divine: The
most precious possession that ever
comes to man in this world is a
womans heart; The gate of heaven
is love, there is none other" 1t is
possible that man can be so changed
by love that one could not recognize

does not spring up and grow great and
perfect all at once, but requires time
and nourishment Of thought" AS in
friendship, so in love; we're often hap
pier from ignorance than from knowl-
edge;" There comes a time when the
souls of human beings, women more
even than men, begin to faint for the
atmosphere of the affections they are
made to breathe" Let us love so
well our work shall be the sweeter
for our love-" "A happiness that is
quite undisturbed becomes tiresome.
We must have ups and downs. The
difficulties which are mingled with
love awaken passion and inspire heart
pleasure; Life together, death apart
two bodies, one heart, that is love-"

Two hearts are made the angels say.
To suit each other dearly;
But each one takes a different way,
A way not found so clearly.
Yet, though we seek and seek for years
The pains are worth the taking;
For what the love of home endears
Like hearts of angel making?
Then haste and guard the treasure now
When fondly you've enshrined it,
For there's a heart for every one
If every one could find it.

largely TO the board of bill revisers

Of getting the bills in early. The bill
revisers in session before the open
