OUCH a sweet, shining thing
~ it was, this falling in love.
He was so fine, she thought; diff.
ferent from every other boy-for,
of course, they're both quite
young-in all the world. Mag

And she was so happy that she
lived only on the heights. Far
above the clouds, you know,
where the sun always shines.
But one day a thing happened
and she came, all bewildered, tum-
bling down into the valley, where
the rest Of the world lives as
best it can. And the dream is all
shattered and the ideal quite
dead.
What am I to do now?" she
writes me out of the terrifying
stiffness in her heart. IF life
could be even as it was before I
could get on.
You see," she confides with a
burst of stark honesty, ''it isn't
so much giving up a splendid
love. It's knowing surely and
irrevocably, that he never was
worth while. It's this that has
turned the world waste and
broken my heart"
And, of course, there is little

"Well, then, why don't you put

lonely" Lottie said. ''I'll send the

But when it came a half hour
later Lottie herself was driving it.
Lottie was the kind of person
who would always do things for
herself, no matter how many
servants she had at her command.
There was nothing uptown"

she could do for herself. She

up her own plain dresses. On
Sunday mornings she went into

for Roy, who was crazy for them.
When Roy worked late and
wanted coffee at midnight, or at
three in the morning, Lottie
padded downstairs in her kimono
and bedroom slippers and made 1t

him, spoiled him.

Best Cure for LOzineSS

standing trait of adolescence has
not been satisfactorily explained.
It just is.
Growing takes up a lot Of force
and energy. Then adolescent
youth usually eats too much and
plays too much and thinks too
much about its own immediate
comfort and pleasure. Naturally,
that makes the home-folks mad.
You can't blame them, either.
But the fact remains that boys
and girls in their early teens are
usually lazy. OF course they
have to take the consequences.
They fail at school and they have
trouble at home. But they go
right on being lazy until they
grow older; then they snap out
of it. -
If you can possibly manage to
make lessons interesting or to sur
round homely tasks with some
sort of glamour or inspiration, it
will drive out the demon of lazi-
ness when nothing else will. In
fact, that is the only antidote
for the Incidence that besets ado
lescence.
1t is a grave mistake to berate
boys or girls for laziness or to
constantly remind them of it. If
you haven't the time and magma
ton and zeal to make their
studies and their work interest.
ing, then you will simply have to
exercise your patience and toler-
ance.
Your boy isn'eSthe only one who
is lazy. But he, like his fellows,
will most likely outgrow it.

IN was the LATEST thing she
ever saw in her life. His father
said that Hendrix wasn't worth
his salt. His mother sighed and
said she didn't know what in the
world was to become of him.
She declared that he wouldn't
study and wouldn't get up in the
morning and wouldn't even keep
himself clean, much less do any
of the chores around home that
she tried to make him do.
Then Uncle Nat, who was her
brother and a lifelong friend of

upon the troubled group.
