wild juiothor tragic iucidciit in tlu

riicli other in nipid sueccssion. It
is jn«t L'litirely left with the indi
vidual girl us to whether .sho shall
use these for her personal udvuntiigi'
or not. Eacdi week has its own.re-
.spoffive and particular .signi/icatice,
and if the lessons tlerived from eac'li
are assiniilnfed, the value fhi-reof
will stand in estiiiialile contrast to
the time wa.stod by girls ciireless of
or indifferent to those variona t'aiii-
paigii^. The iiirtuenee of sueii girls
whetln'r nmlign or benign, aceordmg
to their iiifliienee, is, at any rate, not
ill conforniity to the standards ot‘ a
four-square girl. For the .'Juke of
that staiidaril and tlie general good,
then, if yon can’t show eoopfration
and interest you might oblige those
ai'ounl you, by a siiiiplc but g'n-
cfous display of silenee.
