--e4 es or what the betrothal and knot that was tied meant
 A constant lover has every advan- tage of winning the favor of a girl parents as well as her own. There is nothing greater, or more to be de- sired, for those whom Cupid has
 brought together for good No other qualities a man might claim to have could SO endear a loving heart as to know that he is constant and true. She can depend upon him in every Emergency. He is the right soulnate, the maker of joy and content for her while young.
 IS AS the years grow on apace, she has been benefited and enriched by his good judgment and constant safe glard over her. Those who have con stancy in love have a jewel which they would never be willing to part
 from. Sacred are the words of tender
 purport: "Oh, constantcyi Thou art a jewel!''

to be envied in having so desirable a lover. Some day she will find out her great mistake. It may be too late. Girls everywhere are looking in vain for a good young man who will wed and care for them. Love does not al ways accompany these advantages. A careless, unappreciative sweetheart makes a poor wife, and is a misfortune instead of a blessing for a young man, who could have married we'll and hap oily. Have a sensible talk with her before the knot is tied. There are fewer men and many more girls in the world Choose one that is loving, kind and true.

.REFORMERS
AND SKATES,

The roller skate is "comiDg
back" 1t never really went out,
AS far as the children are concern
ed. Now however young ladies
have taken it up-not in skating
Kinks, by the way, but in the open
air,-for exercise and fun on the
sidewa lhs and smooth pavements
of the city streets. On any fine
evening on the best and most ex-
elusive streets in the residence
districts of Chicago. groups and
couples of girls from Is to 22 may
be seen gliding along over the
smooth surface of the walks.
The fad has struck many of the
| smaller places ia different parts
of the country and already the
village kill-joys are protesting
aud calling for laws to prohibit
skating on the sidewalks. 1t was
ever thus. No sooner does youth
find new way Of amusing itself
no matter how innocent-than
some long-faced, vinegar blooded
reformer is out with protest and
a demand that the young people
be presented with the alternative
of abandoning their fun or becom
ing criminals by the infractioD OF
. prohibitory ordinance. There
was at one time a we'll grounded
prejudice against skating Kinks.
These places. nowadays, are usu
ally SO we'll conducted that they
are comparatively safe. But
there can be no just objection te
tue young girls bringing the bloom
Of health to their cheeks by sucl
beneficial exercise as roller skat
ing on the sidewalks of their owT
heme town and in company witt
the same girls with whom they as
Isociate at other times. Let thu
reformers purchase roller skates
i and use them. 1t will work of
some of the bile and give them
brighter outlook on life.
