How can so much that is mean
and petty and utterly ungenerous
go about under the guise Of
friendship and love? It is all so
absurd~zthis misery boarding of
friendship and affection!
We are all capable of many
friendships and affections all
sincere and all Of utmost value.
And friendly affection, strange
though 1t may seam, is kindly in
it's nature. 1t can forget its own
in another's good.
Can you tell me how Max win

wisely il he is to be monopolized
by the first girl he grows fond
OF without a chance to form other
pleasant friendships? Only by a
heartbreaking quarrel with Mabel,
it seems, is Max to obtain his
freedom to cultivate other girl
friends.
No wonder there are many bit
ter problems of the heart when
hearts weigh themselves with
such burdens of egotistio selfish
ness!
Look upon your men and
women friends just as friends
as frank comrades. Be generous
and honest with them. Be on the
square!
Do not allow false sentimental
ity to sweep you away on a tide
of imaginary, unrequited love,
but wait till true love comes.
When you become engaged to
THE ONE MAN it viii be time
to give Zip other companionship.
And then that will be easy, for
love finds absolute rest and peace
with its beloved and seeks no
farther-grateful to have found

IT was not necessary that you

parents before you accepted the
ring. But you should arrange now
to know them as soon as possible.

AS they rounded the corner Nora

Margaret said: "Was that some

But Nora Lees heart leaped to

Once in the house, she darted to

Make IT FIRE PREVEN.
TTON WEAR

Editors of this country are COM
ing to understand that Fire Pre-
vention Week, which has become an
annaul event, is essentially a mat
ter of public welfare. BY their
comment they have shown that they
are squarely behind this movement.
During fire prevention week wide
publicity is given to appalling loss
of life which averages more than
1850 fatalities month in United
States and to startling average fire
wastage which last year was little
short of $4,000 worth of prop
erty every day, not to mention in
terruption of business and many
other attendant ills.
Fire prevention should become q
daily practice and Fire Prevention
Week should, as times goes by, be
used as a period for recording the
activities of various communities
which have cut down their fire
losses and thus /bettered their con-
dition compared with communities
which continue the old wasteful
practice of killing their people and,
burning their property through fire
carelessness.
