FITTING and the Price
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

The point of the old quotation is that
in spring the young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love! And, sadly
enough few girls place the emphasis
where it belongs. Spring is the season
for Towering all through Nature. and
young hearts seem then to blossom in
the fulness of life's sunshine. But 1t is
bitterly sad that weeds are often attrac-
tive to the unframed eye that does not
distinguish them from worthier blossoms.
In the urge OF young desire for love
and the warmth of loving, too many boys
and girls rush madly into the spring gar
den of life and pick weeds. One OF the
most noxious weeds 1 know is that of
Irritation Think OF the utter danger of
rushing into love affair or a friendship
with someone of whom you know nothing
more than that the color of their eyes or
the cut OF their coats pleases you!
Would you invest ell your savings in.
a cottage that had only a pretty fence
to recommend it? Wouldn't you insist on
going beyond the fence to inspect tho
cottage? Wouldn't you see that you had
a clear title and make certain that your
new home had not recently harbored
smallpox patient?
How dare you risk letting someone into
the circle of your precious youth If you
know nothing Of his moral and physical
and spiritual fitness to companion you?
Squander your fortune and you may save
or earn another. faint your youth and
your whole life must bear the stigma of
that evil
Don't let your hunger for love and COM
partnership lure you into taking 1t from
any good looking stranger you pass.
Don't flirt. Don't strike up acquaint-
ances. Don't take chances with your
reputation and happiness and character
itself. Youth cannot weigh and gauge the
characters of all It admires. The most
evil people are those who are clever
enough to appear charming. When you
let yourself be lightly loved, when you
allow yourself to be approached by any
one who chooses to steal acquaintance
ship with YOU you risk their disrespect
and so prompt the effort to enmesh you
in evil.

To the questionable sort of compensa-
ton which nature bestowed upon the
serpent in its fangs was added another
gift by way of corollary, the power OF
fascination. The existence OF such a
power has been strongly denied, and no
doubt its manifestations have been eN-
argarated; nevertheless its reality seems
to have been established. Cases OF fas-
cination by aerpents OF birds and other
small animals have been too frequently
reported 20 admit OF serious doubt OH

When n serpent charms or fascinates a
bird or small quadruped IL employs q

glittering eyes, or sets tho brilliantly

But the most dangerous serpents are

the proceedings OF the serpent charmers

where venomcus snakes abound.
