Ths Cid Of the PeeiaA

Some people who study the way:
of the young women of today fee
that every year is Leap Year now
The old tradition held that womer
should adopt an attitude of reserve
and wait until men might see fit te
offer them attention, seems to have
disappeared. The popular young mer
are p~estered with invitations from
girl friends. Business men COM
plain that the time of their helpers
is taken up by young women who
come in to see them or call over the
telephone. This gives these popular
boys a too lordly and superior feeling
and leads them to neglect good man
ners and chivalrous standards.
Some people feel that the modern
girl is losing all sense of persona
reserve and modesty, so freely does
she scatter her embraces among al
eomers.
Of course multitudes of young
women have always been brought up
in a careless way, to be free with
men. Whether the prevailing stand
ards of conduct have let down in
the last generation is open to ques,
ton.
The girl with wit and mental abili-
ty is not letting herself go in this
manner. She is not satisfied to win
attention from every one, and prefers
to pick and choose. If SO be that she
must thereby be left behind when
mating time comes, she would rather
live her own independent career than
tie herself to mental sluggishness
for life.
The girl who holds herself in re-
serve is most attractive to men who
amount to anything. Anything that
is thrown at their heads too cheaply
seems undesirable and %shopworn. The
bright, clever, well educated girl OF
today is a wonderful product of en-
lightened personality. Any man
ought to be proud, either of her
friendship or her deeper affection
Ii is not good for him to feel that
either is easily won. 1t should cost
him some struggle.-Selected.
Enjoyable Event
The box supper, which wa held at
the Middle school house recently was
a huge success. The entertainment
offered by the school children was
carried on without a flaw, and was
appreciated by all. After the enter
tainment the boxes were sold at auc-
ton by Chas. Yarbrough, and most
of them brought a fairly good price,
as there was nearly $40 realized.
After the boxes were sold, the young
people went over to Mr.. Fades dance
hall and finished the evening right.

St. Patrick's Ball
Lovers of good dancing and fine
music will have an excellent oppor-
tunity to enjoy themselves at the an
nual St. Patrick's Day Ball given by
the B. of l.. F. & E. on March IL.
The engineers and firemen are not
leaving a single thing undone to
make the evening a memorable one
and most happy, The music will be
the best to be had and there will be
seven pieces in the orchestra. Then,
too, the inner man is to be well taken
care of by the firemen ladies.-Raton
Reporter.
An ideal Celebration
A lively little birthday party was
given for the little Misses Oaty and
Fa%irweather, aged eight and
years, at the home of Mrs. Chas.
Fairweather, last Wednesday evening.
Outdoor games yer an enjoyable
part of the affair and refreshments
of cake and lemonade, oranges, pop
corn and candy, of course made it
an ideal celebration .-Lovington Lea
