There is very real attachment be-

But have you asked yourself what
Christ would have done? Did. He
turn away from Mary Magdalene and
tell her He did not want to be with
her?
I sincerely hope that the boy and
the critical girls will go through life
as pure as they seem to be now.
Doubtless, however, they will make
their mistakes as the girl in question
has made hers.

they can do as they like about being

you so much, and is willing to follow
your advice in regard to better life,
you will not give her up. If you hold
the right attitude, she will not hurt
your reputation in the least, but you
,, will help her so much that her whole
life will be better and richer as a
result of your friendship.

In selecting site low places should
be avoided as frost will occur more
frequently than upon the high ground.
The strawberry plant is close to the
ground and as a result the blossoms
are often caught when those on the
higher ground escape.
The soil should be moist but not wet
to get the best results. Plants in wet
ground will not grow SO well and are
easily killed when the ground is
frozen.
The plants should be set in soil that
has been carefully prepared. 1t should
be free from persistent weeds and
have a good supply of humus.

and my fiance. They were both over
the table from me. I sat so l could
see each profile. What a difference
they showed!
Each was strong-but Jim gave a
sense of physical strength, Francis of
intellectual strength. Jim's forehead
was low and his stiff hair stood UP
from it, short and straight like a
brush. His eyes were little, his eye
brows were too bushy and wild. His
gradually souring attitude on life was
drawing sneering lines around his
mouth, his chin was stubborn, and his
fact thrust itself forward from short
thick neck.
With Francis the forehead was high
and the hair brushed back, threw into
greater relief his aquiline, well-shaped
nose. His mouth lost none of its firm
