With lips but half regretful,
Signs, and with eyes forgetful,
Weeps that no love endures."
cannot help making a study of
how many unsophisticated girls and
young women there are who seem to
be irresistibly attracted to those who
turn out to be trifers. IF some of
the girls whose intentions were the
best tried with all their might to keep
clear of just such ne'er do wells, they
could not have made any surer mis-
take.
The men, principally younger ones,
who belong to this class, pretend be-
fore they have known young wo-
man fortnight, that they admire
her immensely. In fact they dwell
in fascinating way about believing
that love at first sight comes to
those intended for each other. This
class of men lose but little time with
any particular girl. They are free
lances, seeking to try their trifing
Establishments upon half a dozen
girls, who are amused by their bold
manifestations and are under the inn
preston that his heart has gone out
into their keeping.
First, they ask as special favor
that the young women's relatives are
not kept informed Of the progress Of
their acquaintance. They do not en-
courage their girl friends to put in
an appearance at the particular time
of their calling, adding with intended
devotion: 1.-TWO is company, three is
none." What a great mistake those
dear Young women and girls make
who do not tell their kind friends just
how the man pays court to them
that he made it understood he would
some day make a plea to marry all
though he lodged the question in the
next breath, and it could not be made
clear that he said it directly in SO
many words. Once the subject Of
betrothal came up he was ready to
take his hat and go without mo-
ment's delay, having nearly forgotten
that sick friend needed him.
