| Love! What a volume in a word. an
ocean in tear,
A seventh heaven in a glance. whirl-
wind in a sigh,
| The lightning in a touch--a millennium
In a momenti
What concentrated joy, or woe. in blest
4 or blighted love.
The happiest time in the lives of
parents seems to be when their chill
dren are young enough to chase but
terflies, play marbles, roll hoops or
fondle dolls. Their trials commence
when daughter grows tall enough to
Elengthen her dresses to her shoetops
and begins to attract the attention of
boys.
With the first call of young man,
the parents face the situation that
their child will follow the fate of all
womankind--fal in love, be wooed and
marry. When a young man falls into
the habit of calling regularly, they
realize that is a forerunner of an
avowal of, love and being asked for
daughters hand, the youth having al
ready pre-empted her heart.
1t is but natural that they should
experience anxiety. The happiness
of their darling's future, as well as
their own peace of mind, is at stake.
All men during the courtship period
put their best foot forward. If they
have any bad habits, do they make a
frank avowal concerning them? Not a
bit of it. On the contrary, nine men
out of ten hide them so carefully and
so deeply that they are seldom I'M
earthed.
In small towns and villages, fathers
have the advantage. They have seen
the sutton who comes accounting grow
from boy to man. They know his rep
utation, good, fair or bad. and can
make pretty good guess as to what
his future will be. They know whether
he is sober ard Industrious, keeps
good hours and whether his associates
Of both sexes are credit or disgrace
to him.
The father of the city girl has many
more difficulties to face. A young
man has so many paths spread out be-
fore him that no one can tell how
far he travels on the one or the other.
The girl and her parents are almost
entirely at his mercy regarding his
character. He may have friendships
that no one save himself will ever
know about. He may live one kind
of life in one part of the town and
quite another in the other end of the
city.
1t is no wonder the fathers of daugh-
tiers insist upon wintering and sum-
mering even the best of young men
ere agreeing to a betrothal. They
know that good son-in-law is the
greatest blessing a family can gather
unto itself; that rascal is the worst
calamity it could be forced to en-
dure.

NOT THE ONE SHE LIKED.


Must life flow on with laughter and song
While the dumb lips trembling say.
HE was only friend of the winter,
Only friend-that was ALP"
No matter how worthy young man
may be, if he is unfortunate enough
to fall in love with girl who is In
love with another. his suit is all in
vain There is not time that he
calls upon her. takes her out for an
evenings enjoyment. pays her a ten
der compliment, that her heart will
not cry out silently, "If he were only
the one 1 care for, how happy would

Nothing he can say, or do, can ever
lift him up to the pedestal "the other
man" occupies in her estimation. Girls
idealize many q man who is unworthy
and the really good men are made TO
suffer thereby. The man who does not
care for girl will not make an effort
to please her if it conflicts with his
own plans He is careless of her COM
fort, yet, for all that, some girls will
cling to such men, hoping almost
against hope that love must come in
time. #a
While the man upon whom she has
placed her hopes is still single. king
among men could not win her. She
is ever contrasting him-and TO his
discredit-with the man her heart
yearns for. If the other was witty
even to frivolity. the earnest, solemn
young man will prove irksome to her.
If the first one was a fop, delighting
in arousing her jealousy by staring
with apparent admiration ut other
girls and actually flirting before her
face and eyes, she will not appreciate
the honorable man who would not con-

The Pirate

The late George w. Peck, creator of
"Peck's Bad Boy" was once con-
demning the unjust American copy

said. "these publishers who steal for
eigners' writings. A publisher took
me home to dinner at his fiat the other
evening. In the library the children
We're making furious racket. What

We're playing pirates said the oldest

The bag influences reaches pockets.
For the newest sort of pocket is very
suggestive of bag. The pocket is big
and the top of it is shirred, bag fash
ion, so that it lies fiat against the skirt.
These shirred pockets are used
sometimes OF smocks and the shirred
top is shocked to match the rest of
the shocking.
A striking coat shows the bag infiu-
ence in its pockets, but in different
way. The two big pockets hang from
the shoulder by two straps, one fas-
tened at the shoulder and the other
fastened at the shoulder on the back.
The pockets hang free from the skirt
of the coat, suggestive of the tourists
luncheon bag.

Ancient American Art

Thus far Bolivia is the only locality
of the new world whence tin in large
commercial quantities is exported. re-
marks the st. Paul Pioneer Press. The
deposits are large, and the use of tin
as an alloy appears to be as old as the
people. At any rate, before the COM
ing of the Spanish coneuistadores the
natives of Peru and Bolivia, in the
vicinity of Lake Titicaca, made use of
tin as an alloy Atth copper to make
