Arrive at any con cI11sion that he may like, g. sensible young man of quest will know that the majority of girls are not to be had just for the asking. In other words, those whom he would choose among many for a wife would not be willing to be won by him.

 He may miss his guess of winning her while. he is studying all of her good points and those he would not be suited with. Talking most of his time while there to either her mother, fla ther, or some elder member of the afmfly might gain him their friend ship and aid his cause, but what would

 her hands in her lap, smile and look wise.
 If he suddenly drops off from his vis- l its without rhyme or reason the old folks and the family will wonder what
 has detained xhim. They honestly be-
 Iieve that he could net find a home
 which possessed greater attractions, Suddenly ceasing coming to her home subjects the young lady to much an- l y1r ud SrecI11s3fi0Y1 which she cannot solve. Some wouId-be wife 1 winners have no confidence in the inn pression they could create if they tar ried beneath girls roof too long, Laughing too much or making sarcas- I tic remarks which 8 young lady would I AlundoubtedIy take onense at, the young man has been warned to look out for as his besetting rock of failure.

He follows out his dilem- ma by taking his prospective ideal to an exhibition one night, fair an other, a show, places of amusement, sthus filling in al their time until they reach home tired, minus a. chance Of Lconyersation, let alone so much as a thought expressed regarding their fur

When the Germans en- tered GermeviIlier and fired a large part of the town, Sister Julie was known and loved only by her few neighbors and associates. Alone and unarmed she faced the invaders, and 1 by the power of her personality she forced them to leave untouched the i hospital containing number of I wounded soldiers and civilians. When | the Germans attempted to siege the food intended for the inmates of the hospital, Sister Julie. armed with a carving knife, defied whole German army, and her va1or so impressed the f Teutons that they abandoned their l purpose. Later when some drunken | troops fired the hospital, Sister Julie, 1 by her indomitable spirit forced them to exttnguish thet flames they had kindIed. Although often threatened by armed men, the dimpled Sister o1 Mercy 'sheld the fort,' and when al last the Germans were driven out by the French. the hospital was still safe and the wounded well cared for The boys need not think that the
