IIEPRESSION MIGHT BE HARMFUL

For a 14-year-old girl to show interest in the opposite sex is part of the normal pattern and judiciously handled. it soon becomes part of her life. Such an interest occupies an abnormal part of the child's life when unwise parents repress her natural instincts and make the boy-girl relationship an object of scorn and a reason for undue dis- cipline.

We saw a coldness in the first stars and it came to mind that in morning we should find the near- er waste-gate on the dam, white- sprend with frost. And we breath-

ed deeply of the incense of the hundred scents fragrant and dis-

This is the time of year when Iarmsteads on such byways as ours withdrew to a seclusion and calm unlnnown through the Warin- er seasons. and commence toset- tle down for the winter. Now the surrounding hills seem to draw
