BRING YOUNG FOLK TOGETHER.

Now what is Love, I pray thee tell? It is that fountain and that well Where pleasure and repentance dwell; It is, perhaps, the soundinc bell That tolls all into heaven or hell; And this is love, as I hear tell! Where there are young folks in the family it should be a bright and jolly household. When their days are engaged in employment, their evenings, so far M possible, should be interspersed with pleasure to upset the humdrum of existence. * This not only appMfes to the working girl still in her teens, but to the woman who has passed that youth mark ten years or so ago. Life is happy or lonely, according to the plan one lays out. Monday evenings there MTMlways plenty to do. Tuesday-eve-ntng.why not tidy up the best ivom snd entertain two or three of your friends who would only be too pleased to have a place to go- Wednesday

—7——— : ——— —— - - I evenings you could visit other Meuds. Thursday evening Is usually bean evening. A girl could accompany her Seat young man to the theater or pass a nice pleasant evening at home, playing some dance music, If the weather was stormy. Friday evening is good for her to go to the movies or to attend some social affair, that is fun enlivening. Saturday evening is devoted to the marketing. Sunday, off course, is church night with the aforementioned beau accompanying her. If parents strive their best to give their daughter a happy girlhood, they do much toward smoothing the rugged path which leads to her future. She who has a happy life of it turns a smiling face to the world. If it is dull and lonely, it casts a shadow over her. Parents or guardians of young girls who deny them the pleasure of inviting company to their homes take from them their chief happiness and drive them elsewhere for enjoyment. The girl who fears to invite a young man to call upon her will be sure to blame those who are responsible few it later on if she is doomed to single blessedness. .

Young men and young women should have their opportunities of being brought together in wholesome social affairs If it is expected that happy marriages will come from IL There is but‘‘one youth time in the life of a young man or young girl. It should be remembered by them as a rainbow of brightness which time can never efface. The good people of neighborhoods who give little inexpensive affairs to bring young folks together are but living their own youth over again in watching the budding courtship of youthful lads and lassies. Pull the pretty bashful girls out of their shells; see that they join in the neighborhood frolics. Let no nice, single young man escape from responding to the invitation. Young folks must be brought together to look, love and wed.
