young man, no matter what he may say

when you did not tell the truth to your
parents. When man talks Of his con
quests among the girls very few believe
him; and If he does talk about this you
will suffer less from it than he. Make
up your mind not to see him again, and
if he does talk and your hear about it
simply tell the truth, that he had de-
ceivcd you about where he was taking
you, and that you had left as soon as
you found there were no others there.

What Makes Bird-Eye Maple?
Here Is the Explanation

unsightly. Some attribute it to the
action of the frost. but no such connec-
ton between cause and effect has been
shown to exist.
The explanation of the phenomenon
is simple. and a person with a good
magnifying glass can work it out for
himself. The bird eye figure is pro-
duced by casual or abnormal buds,
which have their origin under the bark
of the trunk. The first buds of that
kind may develop when the tree is
quite small They are rarely able to
force their way through the bark and
become branches. but they may live
many years just under the bark, grow
ing in length as the trunk increases in
size. but seldom appearing on the out
side of the bark. If one such bud dies.
another will likely rise near it and
continue the irritation which produces
the fantastic growth known as bird S
