THE LEGACY OF A JOYOUS YOUTHI|NE

BY Laura Jean Libbey.

Our lives are albums written through,
With good or i'll, with false or true,
And as the blessed angels turn
The pages of our years,
God grant they read the good with smiles,
And blot the i'll with tears.
Putting an OLD head on young shoul-
ders never has been accomplished, and
never will be. How could one except
wise as those of its kind who have
summered and wintered life? How
could one expect the little lambs gam
boiling over the lea to fear the fate of
those who have gone before, or the
little speckled trout to be as wary as
the Older fish that have successfully
lodged many bait set for their un-
doing?
Youth knows none of lifc's perils. 1t
is satisfied with the pleasures of to-
day. 1t thinks the sun will always
shine and joys are always to last. Ones
duty is to warn the young where the
shoals and pitfalls lie. But will they
heed? Not they. Warnings and scold-
ingS come in one ear and go out the
other. That's the proclivity Of youth
not to want to hear anything unpleas-
ant. While girls should not be brought
up with the idea that they are human
butterflies and joys are all that is
worth while in life, the cares that are
thrust upon their young minds should
be offset with an equal amount Of

pleasures. Care-free, happy youthtime
is theirs but once. It should be made
the most Of After-life hold much that
Will cause them to be serious enough.
Parents should make an effort to
keep the home so attractive for their
daughter that she would be pleased to
invite her young friends there. 1t is a
great satisfaction for parents to know
just what kind of companions of both
sexes their daughter takes to. The
home roof is always q safe meeting
place. Those who are denied compan-
ionship at home may grow out of the
desire for bright, happy friends about
them, becoming mOrose and dissatis-
fed. The happy girl grows into q con-
tented, satisfied woman. She has had
what joys happy girlhood has had. to
offer and is content to enter the most
serious path of life. She who never
had her youthful fling feels that the
world owes her something; that she
has been cheated of her rightful dues.
Those with whom a girl is surrounded
make her happy or unhappy. All duty
and cares thrust upon her make her
dull girl. Use caution in checking
laughter on girls lips. 1t comes from
her heart. Parents should give their
daughters all the pleasures in reason
which they can afford. Let them have,
if you have nothing else to leave them,
the legacy of joyous youthtime.

that part of the line better than any
man living, every nook and Granny

and wanted a guide nobody could help
them as well as the padre. And I'm
bound to say nobody could have been
more willing to help. He labeled his

Hats for the Schoolgirls Needs.

Hats that fill in the time between
the end of summer and the beginning
of winter are obliged to meet the de-
mands of the weather in both seasons.
They must look cool on warm days
and hint at warmth on cool days.
Light felts and velours, known as
Summer felts and velOurs," make
their entry with July, and this year
have been more enthusiastically re-
ceiyed than ever before. The summer

Knee Breeches for All Men
May Be Style After the War

One of the possible results of the
great war Is the reform of mems dress.
The trousers that bag at the knee are
coming into disrepute, owing to the
fact that so many million men wear
knee breeches as they fight.
Even the kits of the Scotch, which
there has been a disposition to ridi-
cule, are found to be most useful on
the fighting line, says the Columbus
Dispatch. For men Of action knee
breeches are more comfortable and
less cumbersome, and soldiers are ask
ing why men have been content all
these years to wear stovepipe castings
on their legs. And they are the men
who are going to exert influence after
the war Their disinclinatiOn to re-
turn to trousers and their example, to-
gether with the fact that other peo-
pie have become accustomed to seeing
men in knee breeches, may put trou-
sers out of business altogether.
There is going to be q new world
after the war, and knee breeches for
men may be part of it.

Health Hints.

Wearing the same weight under
clothing the year around will save
you lot of colds.
Your nose, not your mouth, was
given you to breathe through.
Clean skin, clean socks, clean un-
derwear every day.
Don't sit still with wet feet. Walk
until you have a chance to change.
Never let a day pass without cover
ing four miles on foot.
See how high you can hold your
head and how deeply you can breathe
whenever you are out of doors.
Getting mad makes black marks on
the health.
Envy, jealousy and wrath will ruin
any digestion.
Nature never punished a man for
getting his legs tired. She has pun
ished many for getting their nerves
exhausted.

Connie Mack.

the stars with which he had won sew
eral worlds championships, that he
would be back in the race by 1917, has
not been realized, but he has succeed
ed in making the name Philadelphia
once more one to be feared in the
American league.
Discussing Mack and his newly
made team recently, Bill Donovan
said that he would rather play almost
any club in the league than send his
men into a contest against the Mack
men.
They won't win any pennant this
year." Donovan commented, "but
they're going to fight mighty hard for
every game they go into. From this
time on they're going to improve. I'm
q mighty mistaken student of this ma
tional pastime if the Athletics are not
found kicking considerable dust
around before the end of the 1918 cam
paign gets here"
Donovan figures and so does every
other baseball manager who has had a
glimpse of him-that Ray Bates is one
of the finest players the minor leagues
have yielded in many q day. He also
believes Witt the equal of any short
stop in the American league, with the
possible exception of Roger Packin-
paugh, his own short fielder. Second
base is problem, but McInnis is fully
the equal, perhaps the superior, of
any man doing first base duty.
There isn't thing wrong with that
outfield of Connie Mack's," Donovan
ruefully remarked. Il only wish l
had Il pair of those birds working for
me. I might have a chance to win q
pennant before he makes the going
so rough"
Where is the manager who wouldn't
like to have Bush Myers and Noyes
pitching for him; and where, oh,
where can you find a big Lacquer who
wouldn't spend several thousand dol
lars for Wallie Schang?
The foundation has been built for
another fine baseball team in Phila
delphia. Managers and baseball men
everywhere believe it is due.

CHAPTER w.

Elinor lived alone after the funeral.
Henriette, who had now a chance to
practice her favorite vice of thrift, was
for sending away the other servants.
Il can manage" she said. "For all
you eat"
But Elinor protested.
Il shall want to keep up the Satur-
day dinners. Let things stay as they
are for a time"
1t had been old Hilary's custom to

you are alone here now. To have
those four men,
THAT is better than having one
man, Henriette."
SO Elinor had her way. The Satur-
day dinners were resumed early in
September, Boroday coming with i'll
finite caution from his cheap boarding
house in the South side, Talbot and
Lethbridge from the bachelor apart
ment they rented together. Walter
Huff was late.
Il had to be careful" he told Boro-
day, aside. They've got wind of some
thing, don't know what My room was
searched today"
Boroday swore through his beard.
''Then why did you come here?" he
demanded. Young Huff laughed,
glanced at Elinor, and back impudent-
ly at the Russian.
You know why 1 came" he said, in
high good humor. But 1 was careful.
It's all right"
Old Hilary's chair had been placed

"Where could I go? / know in all

riette, and a governess Of mine who

So it was settled.
That was an cventful evening, with
| Elinor misty-cyed, moving into her IA
theirs chair at the table, and the band
swearing the simple oath of allegiance
which held them together. And when
they had moved from the dining room,
Walter Huff, following ElinOr out onto
the terrace, told her he loved her.

"Oh, of different things-Of the peo-
pie down there in their hOuSeS-their

they are narrow, but I wonder, after

those things, are not the narrow ones"
Huff was not subtle. Possibly he
would not have understood, had net

symbols like that seem to mean so
much to them," said Elinor, and fell
silent.
In the warm silence, Huff felt for
and found her hand.
"All this time, when I couldn't see
YOU" he said unsteadily, I've been
thinking of you here alone, and in
trouble. Sometimes thought / couldn't

Huff released her hand and faced
her

She was rather shocked at first. She
stood, looking up at him, her lips
slightly parted.

81 love you. I want you to marry
me. dear"
There was no doubt of the boys sim
cerity. 1t rang true. He stood with
his arms out, and after moment she
went into them. Except for the father
who was gone, this was the first love
that had come into her life. She took
it hungrily. In the starlight she held
up her lips like a child for his kiss.
