rather awkward to wear a ring that he gave

1t:
This young man will be twenty-one in two
or three days. What would be q nice present
to give him-one that he could appreciate?
YOU could hardly wear a ring without others
knowing Of your plans. OF course. q ring is not
essential, and does not make the giver or re-
cever care any more for each other. 1t 10 only
a symbol Of q pledge. However. the sentiment
attached to 1t, as q rule Is very precious to the
bride. and thing Of pride to the groom Wheth-
sr you are to have a ring or not Is a thing for
you two to decide.
In these days Of high prices, the young man
with 80 practical a turn Of mind. doubt
would appreciate something that he needs for
his Birthday. Ask him what he needs, or what
he would like to have.

proved the value of this organization despite the

organization to meet the salary of such director Many

similar places where raising funds is obviously impossible
A Girl Scout is trained to know the laws of health,
sanitation cleanliness Of children cooking and general
housewfery She is trained home maker, producer
