As loves young dream.

- Almost every one can readily dis i cern courtship's beginning-the tendeF
 glance, the lingering handelasp, the desire of the lover to be ever at his
 sweetheart's side the fortnightly call that changes to every other evening of the week. love notes on the even ings he cannot be with her, the tell ing of the old, sweet story-so very
 old yet so wonderfully new ana sWees to two who have just launched court ships brave bark That is it's begin ming.
 If the lover has offered his heart and hand in marriage and has been accept ed there is much to look forward to-a
 wonderful world opening out before them. There is so much to talk over and plan; their hopes and prospects,
 the home nest they are to have, and the thousand and one things of keen interest to both
 If the courtship has been entered into with love words spoken, and ca resses indulged in, but no thought or marriage has been expressed, there is nothing to plan for. The material Tor hope is there, but there is no founda- ton to build upon.
 ' The life of such courtships lasts only as long as interest survives. Kindl1ng and rekindling will keep it alive only , for the time being. There must be a tangible expectation in view-mar-
 riage-to make courtship worth while,
 otherwise, soon or late, it's sweets
 grow bitter to one or both, as it be- comes irlxsome.
 ! When this occurs the life of court i ship is over, it has run it's course and
 withered like the blossom that with tered when the sunshine left it, its
 brief day is over.
 It is an error to be of the convic-
 tion that love can only grow through
 kisses and caresses. Every day-the | " faH
 with sweet, modest young women
 whose hands they have never c1asped, The world is full of girls who hold their lips sacred. The betrotha1 kiss, Esolenn, sweet, tender and mystical, i is the first they accord an accepted afianced lover. Men weary of court
 ship long before foolish maidens do. Kissing and caressing become an old
 story. When there are no betrothal bonds to hold them, they are anxious 1 to break away, to try their. powers of
 winning feminine hearts elsewhere. pooh these truths, fbut down deep in their. own hearts they know that court
 ship without an offer of marriage is a
 delusion, snare and a regret to many a girl.
 Men are contradictory creatures at
 best; while they tease for acceptance ! of their caresses they secretly admire the maid who refuses, straighta way making up their minds that she is the
 right kind of a girl for wife, true
 heart and home maid ' The life of courtship is very much l in the hands of the girl. If she finds that the suitor who is paying court to her would be a courier probably for tyears to come she would be wise in
 discouraging his visits save as a friend, putting no dependence upon
 him. This is intended as a plain talk to girls on the serious side of court ship, but no doubt will receive the usual number of letters from young
 girls tomorrow asking, Is kissing proper in eourtslip ?,'

ALPHA ZETA BANQUET

Could one have looked in the VO-
cational Chapel last Monday even
ing they would have imagined them
selves looking into some fairy bower
land. II looked as though it had
been touched by a fairy wand, for
the whole room had undergone a
wonderful Transformation.
The scheme Of the banquet was

Zeta at War" The menu and pro-
gram both conformed 10 this
lscheme.
After very delicious menu
the POSTMASTER. Carl Vogel, opened
the first gun in a toast THE Call
to Arms" inwhich he marshalled the
! forces for the imaginary battle and
assigned them their respective posts.
Then he introduced the second
speaker, Mr.. Hackett, who spoke
on the subject Equipment" very
essential factor in real warfare. DR..
James Watt Raine followed Mr..
Hackett with toast on "Prepara-
tion" which also is fundamental to
any army's success.
The Alpha Zeta orchestra then
sounded the reveille, the early morn
ing bugle call which awakens the
soldier and summons him to his
duties for the day.
As no picture Of army life is COM
plete without a camp scene, this
phase was entered into the scheme
Of the program and the toast "Around
the Campfire" was responded TO by
Stanley Ault.
The camp scene past, the forces
marshalled. trained and equipped,
the charge was next in order and
was treated by Dorral Flint in his
toast "the Charge"
No army can do its best work
unless il he backed by the hopes and
sympathies OF the wives, the sisters
and the sweethearts of the soldiers
who compose il, so Miss Lucy Holl-
iday representing the alpha Zeta
girls" toasted on "Our Moral Sup
port"
Then the taps. the evening bugle
call which summons the soldier to
his tent for the night was sounded
by the orchestra and as the notes
died away, the words goodnight
were flashed from the bower works

FACTS THAT COUNT

Though John r. Mott has circled
the globe four times, he has but one
aim in his journeyings, and that IS
to survey and strengthen the forces
at work for the evangelization OF
the nations and to get the ear in

in the great universities. The ca
cerness with which they flock TO
hear him in Egypt. Russia, India,
China and Japan shows how the
balance is wavering at these seats
of learning between Christianity and
agnosticism. For many thoughtfui
