He must begin, then, by being a boy of his word. He cannot put on the characteristic as he dons a uni form or attaches a badge to his coat, upon occasion. Well, then, in this ‘‘woman’s age,” when there is such a clamor for equal chances for boys and girls, should not the girl grow up with as strong a sense of responsi bility about her pledged word as a boy? The demand is for a girl of her word, who does not hold a promise lightly nor break her engagements easily. A girl of honor is worth as much as a boy of honor. A giil is as much bound to be honorable as a boy. Un flinching, unfaltering truth is re quired of both alike. The same qual ity of steadfast adherence to a pledge, and the same tenacity in fulfilling what is promised and expected, makes both boy and girl trustworthy. It is belittling and unworthy and unwomanly for a girl to be careless and culpable on these points simply because she is a girl, and thinks no one will be so impolite as to scold her fer her failures. If you will stop a moment to think how often people are put out and inconvenienced by trusting to promises which are not kept, you will no doubt be able to recall in stances enough to prove the need of greater trustworthiness. Somebody else has to do the work of the delin quent, and, perhaps, a dozen or more are kept waiting, or fail to secure something desired, because of the failure of one person tf> d> what, was promised and depended upon. It is not right to assume a responsibility unless one means to be faithful to it, and girls should be ambitious of the distinction of being reliable, of be ing counted upon to do their prom ised part. The trouble is, very often, that premises are too lightly made. One’s word should be held sacred, and there should be a little consideration before giving it. “Too much troub le to think always,” is the excuse of fered; but it does not excuse. It is never too much trouble to spare others trouble, and to do right for one’s own. The only way to become such a girl is to form the habit of faithful ness in little things. These are like the filaments which are twisted into a cord. Enough of them will make a cord which cannot be broken, al though a single one may seem insig nificant and useless. A girl of her word is respected by others; but she is also self-respect ing, and self-respect is a treasure be yond compute. It is a costly thing; it cannot be gained in idle, haphaz ard ways; but it is worth all it costs. —Religious Herald. CHOCTAW, OKLAHOMA & GITF R. R.
