House Party at Garner Home.

Last Saturday afternoon a
dozen girls gathered at the C. L..
Garner home, in response to the
invitation of Rose, We presume
the immediate cause was the re-
joicing over vacation.
Later they were joined by
another dozen young people, of
the stronger sex, who saw to it
that the girls were safely escort
ed to the picture show at yashon.
After a generally happy evening
gcod-nights were said, and the
boys were dispatched on their
homeward way, After this duty
was off of their minds the girls
proceeded to the real party.
We have it on good authority
that getting ready for bed
occupied the young ladies until
almost daylight, then the dis
cussion of the days events con
sumed an additional hour. They
must have succeeded in snatching
a few winks, as they were all con
spicuous by their absence at Sun
day school the next morning.
Anyway it's great to be young,
aud have a vacation.

LET'S LEAVE THE YOUNG PEOPLE ALONE!

With all OF the natural beauty upon Which we OF Vashon Island
each day look it would seem that our minds would be SO filled with
happy thoughts that there would be little room for ugly, unkind
ones. However, it is impossible to deny the fact that there are
many here, as elsewhere, who are glad to think of evil, where no
evil is intended, especially in regard to our young people.
Evil, uneharmabe thoughts, when confined to the mind that
formulated them injure only the thinker, but as soon as they are
converted into speech the harm they do is incalcuabe. More
tremendous in force than the proverbial stone rolling down the
mountain, the evil rumor many times destroys not only the one against
whom it is directed, but, there is also a chance for a reaction that
may destroy the mind that gave the thought birth.
Satan, truly find mischief for the idle minds. as wel as hands.
Shakespeare never uttered a greater truth than when he said, who
steals my purse steals trash, But he who flches from me my good
name, Steals more than gold can buy And no number of libel suits
can ever restore the self confidence to a young person after he, or
she, has learned that they have been the object of malicious gossip.
Boys flying kites draw in white winged birds.
But you can't do that when you are flying words.
Thoughts unexpressed,s may sometimes fall back dead
But God himself, can't kill them when they're said. y
So, remembering that every person who has gone through
hazardous youth has had to avoid innumeable pitfalls and dangers
and realizing that someone may have TO be charitable in judging us
and our children, let us with love in our hearts, guard the reputa-
lions of our Island boys and girls as jealousy as we would our own.
