pie who have urged her TO change
her course think better of her in their
heart OF hearts.
And II they don't they are compan-
ions that are not worth while. The

The girl worth while, the truly

best for her against her own better
judgment.
She will refuse when she thinks she

''Why, never heard of general

lady. "The general store-Sheilen-

Seemingly she did not have the

therefore became a good fellow"
