The Bashful Lover.

The girl who has a bashful sutton
should cease lamenting the inconven-
fences Of the situation and thank Prov
idence for him. He will be very. very
faithful. No need for heartburnings, no
cause for jealousies, will arise In this
connection. For not only have the 9TH
er girls no time for him IA fact which,
taken alone, Is hardly recommended
ton to the average woman, by the
way, but he himself-oh, Joy Of joys!
will have no time for the other girls
And so the maiden who has u very
bashful lover should cease repining.
Once she has secured that eminently
suitable person. 1t is up to her to train
him and educate him IN the way he
should 60. And there Is no fear that he
will ever depart from her.-Ellen Adair

asparagus, lettuce, spring onions ana

straw berries, raspberries, and cherries

The meat and fish are about the same
