She ivel among some of the famous characters of the French Revolution and framed their portraits from direct observation. It was her business one day to model the horrible countenance of the assassinated Marat, whom she detested, and on an- other to reproduce the features of Charlotte Corday, the beautiful as- sassin, whom she loved and admired. At one time she was herself in prison and in danger of the all-devouring guillotine. She escaped from France and took her stock of wax figures with her.

 Milo and I had a delightful drive and got quantities of the wonderful lotus flowers, which we brought to Carol.
 Where are the others!" asked Carol.
 "I really don't know. We never saw them after we passed that farm"
 Well, wis hthey'd come. Lunch is all ready, and it won't be good if it waits," she said impatiently, not really enjoying the lovely flowers. They didn't appear for an hour and a half after luncheon time, and they were all very grumpy because they hadn't found the lotus laGe.
 "You said go past the Jenkins farm, didn't you, Lucile?"
 "Yes."
 Well, we did, and we never came to the two little lakes even. We drove and drove. don't understand it. We took the hillside road"

Answer: Perhaps, my dear, it better to be twenty-five and good but lonely, and have your own self respect, than it is to be married to the kind of a man who picks out his wife at wild parties and who mistakes the effects of bootleg liquor on his system for love. Drink makes many men amorous, and any woman can inveigle a ] gentleman who is pleasantly lit up to the altar. But the trouble is that when the effects of the liquor die out the mans affections also dies out, and the poor wife is left regretting her bargain.

Of course, if you want to have good time for little while there is no doubt that you can have more fun travelling with the fast crowd than the slow one. Theoretically, men admire the good, little, modest girl. That IS the kind of a girl they want their sls- ters to be and the kind they try to marry. But they prefer to play around with the girls who are not particular about what they do and who have no scruples with which to "wet-blanket a party.

But my long observation has been that worthwhile men seldom marry the wild, wild woman.

MEANING OF LITTER

At the recent meeting of the "Leave No Litter" crusade it was asked what was the meaning of the word Hitter" The answer might be the definition of dirt--matter out of place.
 The newspaper ceases to be a distri- butor of news when left lying about; the packing straw is valuable until 1t is discarded and left to the mercy of the wind; the sandwich paper degenerates as soon as it's utility is at an end; q beautiful bunch of flowers when with cred and thrown away can be called nothing but litter.
 Much organic matter may become worse than litter or dirt; decomposi- tion may conevrt it into a menace, and the careless disposition of dangerous substances is surely. criminal.
