SHE PAYS HER WAY.


L. G. s. writes: 'I am a young man
of 81, principal of a school in a town
some miles from Philadelphia. I am
engaged to young girl about the
same age. She is a school teacher in
Philadelphia and lives three stations
above me. Sunday mornings I go up
on the trolley, she by train. We meet
at the ferry. We go to church and
take dinner at a boarding house. I
go to her house some Saturday after
moons. We go to town on train. She
pays her way. I pay mine. Boarding
house mistress tells it's ridiculous for
her to pay her own way as L am en-
gagged to her. She insists that she pay.
1 think she should, as it's an every
week occurrence. Please advise if I
am doing right
1t is hardly permissible for a gentle
man of good standing and salary to
permit his engaged sweetheart to pay
her own way. She has to earn her
few dollars and make every dime
count for the buying of her wedding
clothes and home ffxings. Only when
a man cannot afford to pay her way,
and she knows this, should she SO.

1t has often been said that the fire.

country is due to lack of sufficient ap-
pliances. The comparison is made
with European roads, where the acct

bad as with us.
the population is dense and railroads
can be built more thoroughly. They
acquire highly developed systems of
safety equipment that many, of GUS
roads cannot afford, or think they
can't. To cover the vast spaces of
our continent, many thousand miles

It sometimes seems that the more
safety appliances there are, the more
employees tend to neglect ordinary
precautions. OF course this is no
argument against safeguards as on
the whole, they preserve life. But
certain men are so constituted that
such protection gives them a sense OF
false security.

CLEAN STREETS AND ALLEYS.

A party of women of Chicago's
Thirty First Ward observed April 1
by donning. overal1s and cleaning up
dirty alleys. Chicago is not the only
place where the men need assistance
of this kind.
The officials who have charge of
the streets of a town often act as if
town cleanliness were a mere feminine
fancy. The fact that they went over
q. street the day before. is sufficient
reason for not cleaning it again, even
if it is just as dirty as it was be-
fore.
Some people seem to think they
have sufficiently co-operated in the
cleanliness movement, if they have re-
moved unsightly refuse from the front
yard to the rear.
If the streets of a town could be
maintained in somewhat the same de-
gree of order that prevails in our
own houses, a town would look home
like and inviting both to strangers and
old residents. Queerly enough, there
are plenty Of people who would not
litter up their own rooms with waste
paper, who do not hesitate to throw
away refuse in the streets.

the others into a discussion that re-

Slowly he leads the talk around
