 It Is not the first time, however

 Why girl should be forced to waste time with such a fellow has always been one of the mysteries of the pre-marriage state. Yet thou sands of them are doing it. Of course, some Of them may wish to waste time in this manner in pursuit of an elusive good time while wasting it; but 1t Is safe to say that the ma jority of girls who consent 10 &C., Cepting the attentions of young men constantly utilize the appraising eye, and could gear up their emotions to fall in love with those who appear worthy Of the honor if the flighty cake eaters gave the slightest indi- cation of being serious.
 But conditions being what they are in many instances, there are an increasing number of swains who never seem 10 get very far in the proposing line. Some of these-and they are numbered among nearly eycrybodys acquaintance - pride themselves upon having "host" of lady friends; so many, in fact, that they apparently cannot make np their minds about any one particular damsel. Perhaps in such case all the girls look good, but no single one looks good enough for the trip 10 the altar. Or they hate to marry out of fear they will lose the pla- tonic friendship of all the others.
 So long as there is this sort of male individual in the land, 1t is clear that the girls should have some say as to learning definitely and at an early date as to probable inten- tions. Why should girl permit her self to be made the victim of false hope-in company with other vic- tins who may be fooled at the same time by the same fellow-even in an age still largely guided by conven- tional methods. It should be the privilege of wideawake American girl to get the other party in a corner and proceed to snare him with the pointed question that he himself lacks the manhood to ask In other words, If the young man lacks the hardihood to do his duty, why not let the young woman do the talking for him-all in the interest of love, marriage, happiness and children. She may do most of the talking after marriage anyhow, so why not begin early?

To Announce My Vow


 By Ruth E. Chamberlain I won't write bit about spring! Heretofore. ev'ry springtime I've
 sung Of the sap in the trees, Of the blossoms and bees, Molasses and sulphur and such
 things as these; All my soul have flung In attempts to give tongue To the soft, hay beauty spring
 round us has flung; But this year I won't write thing! The robin that gaily doth sing When he comes once again in his
 term Will intrigue me, 'tis true, As he ever will do; That red in his breast, how I love
 Its soft hue! But my purpose is firm; Let him chase the wild worm; I'll not write of him though my
 spirit may squirm: This one year won't write thing! To this pledge I'll certainly cling! The housewife with cloth round
 her brow Driving husband away While she cleans house all day Won't tempt me to pen aught that's
 solemn or gay. will stick to my VOW; To spring I won't bow; So that is the reason I'm writing
 this now To tell you I won't write a thing!

capped today after robbing two Ma
