STOLEN KISSES.

SlOLEN MISSES.
Melting joys about her move,
Killing pleasures, wounding blisses,
She can dress her eyes in love
And her lips can warm with kisses"
A word to the wise who are not
intent upon flirtations, yet whose af-
fections have been broken off, may
act as a warning. A reader wrote
to me recently asking if a young
girl should be accompanied by an
elderly woman when she visits river
side, on outings, or at the beach
moonlights with her best fellow.
"Now the fact is" she writes, "my
sweetheart has a spinster aunt, who
might be only too glad to keep up
with us. But am sure it would spoil
all our pleasure if we had to take her
along. Before it is quite dusk she
says we should be sure and come
home; that the place for girls and
their beaux is under the home roof,
where they can chat with the family
until he goes. Now can you blame
one for letting her stop at the house?
l don't know if her strict notions are
to be needed. A girl has no right to
allow kisses, or give them, even if
they are given without her consent,
she rigidly declares. / know you
will put me wise, as I am an orphan
of 16 years"
Gladly, l will write my answer
plainly to this youthful girl, only
trusting she may heed it. Courtship
has presumably just begun with this
young couple. The rosy glow of love
has scarcely been kindled in their
hearts, yet a deep interest has been
awakened that Cupid will soon ripen
into deep affection. No, my dear girl,
you must not turn away and frown
on the words that she intends to safe
>guard you with, if you do not wish to
regret the path you might stroll into.
She who is contrary to proper advise
for her own good surely lives to Bit
terly rue the hours of folly. The tickle
fancy of a man is found out by the
girl who is self-willed and trusts his
Judgment of their pastiInes when he
finds there is no head over her to con-
troll her hours or his visits.
If an intelligent aunt suggests that
she, needing outdoor air, will be
pleased to go about with you, joining
you in your rambles at 5 o'clock or
so, in the day, consider it an honor
and make her hour or two agreeable,
thus gaining the true friendship of
the young man and world Of re-
spect as well.
Ny dear girl, the young man who
finds that the girl he is keeping COM
pany with is strictly obeying the
parents, or those who are in charge
of her, has the highest regard imagin-
able for her. That is the girl he
wants for his wife-and none other.
Kisses are dangerous to allow under
any pretext. They are the means Of
many a love compact being broken
off, the folly Of which is never forgot
ten. It is a life lesson if girls would
but heed
Many a bright girl has lost two or
three desirable suitors before the
true reason of their firing of her has
dawned upon her. A girl should only
permit kiss to sanction her be-
trothal Of marriage if she would re-
tain the average mans respect.
