She is the girl who is anxious to have you join a party which is to he a "dead secret," and which be cause people are very free and easy, makes you uncomfortable, and wish yon were at home. She is the girl who tries to in- j dtiec you, "iusi for fun," 10 smoke j a cie-irciic, or 10 take a glass of wine, and you don'l know, and 1 possihly she does not, thai many of the sinners of today committed their first sins "just for fun." She is the girl who persuades you thai to stay at home and care for and love your own, to help mother, and to have your pleas ures at home and where the home people can see them, is stupid and tiresome, and that spending the afternoon walking up and down the streets looking at the windows and people is "just delightful." She is the girl that persuades you that slang is witty, that a loud dress that attracts the attention is "stylish," and to be on very fa miliar terms with three or four young men is an evidence of your charms and fascination, instead of being, as it is, an outward, visible sign of your perfect folly. She is the girl who persuades you that it is a very smart thing to be referred to as a "gay girl.'' She is very, very much mistaken. Of all the others, she is the girl j who, no matter how hard she may iry to make you believe in her, is to be avoided. Ladies' Home Journal. A GOOD RECORD.

She has her tears, that you may never know; She has her heartaches and has her silent woe; Her little daily worries and her daily case That you have never yet been asked to share; Because, for your sake, she has never told A woman's love is w orth its weight in gold. She has her tears, her little moments when The old sweet dreams and hopes arise again; And she is often lonely and apart In the sad counsell of her woman's heart; Her battle has its bitter, but so true To help your life, she never bothers you. She has her tears in many a silent hour They drive upon her with resistless power But all her skies are sunny when you come, And her sweet lips of tears and grief are dumb; A sunshine maker, not a shadowery she What holiness in such a love can be ! Hers is the sacrifice amid the strife, Hers is the little giving-in through life, The sweet forgetting of things that sting That through your day of care the world may sing, The sun may shine and life be good to you She has her tears but still the smiles break through.

Llcurcllc was the princi pal horsewoman, as well as the principal attraction, in an obscure wandering circus, which recently appeared in Kasan, a small tow n ! on the Volga. She was beautiful, graceful and an exquisite rider. ' No one dreamed thai she would figure in a terrible real tragedy of unrequited love. Mirke I-'esialich was a clown in the same company. He was a plain, simple-hearted man, who looked seriously on foolery as the means of a living, and he xvas usu- j ally such un orthodox button ihat no one had the remotest idea that i : he, too, would ligure with the fair i Fleurette in the tragedy which has shocked the towns-people. 1 The military officers of Kasan j brought Mile, l-'lurette Mowers, of ; fered their cheers and their hearts. She graciously accepted all their tributes, save the hearts. To all wouldbe suitors she was adorable hin Hwum I ' UI UIMdm' I Among the worshippers was j poor l-'estelicll.

Lleurette while she was performing no one ever suspected the sincere love I which lay behind the motley make I up. His loud applause was never I understood not even by the I equestrinne herself. The liule services which he rendered her in i the ring were merely regarded as ! absurd burlesque. ! At last he summoned up sulfi j cient courage to propose to her. ! She regarded his stammering pro- lest ttions wilh amusement. "You , are a clown," she said; "your' i business is to joke wilh every- j ; body; so I take your declaration as a joke." i Just then the bell rang for the evening performance. Poor Pes- j telich, loo heartbroken at his fail- j i ure to notice the gibes of an attend- i ! ant who overheard his declaration I ' j of love, went to the ring to make 1 I the people laugh. ' I He succeeded. He surpassed ! j himself. There was madness m j i his brain. Caustic witticisms, such ; i as he had never before uttered, ' poured out from him. The peo- pie cheered him, thinking lum a J I genius. Never had they heard such brilliantly pungent jokes, j i Never had he smacked the heads i j of the attendants especially the j I head of the one who gibed him i with such zeal. ! i When he approached Mile. I Lleurette and bent as if to whisper ' in the ear of her horse the people I waited in tense silence for another I of his brilliant jokes. But he ut tered no word. Instead the horse suddenly plunged forward and be came unmanageable even by the accomplished l-'lettrette. Three tunes the maddened ani mal tore around the ring, then it turned a somersault, burying its beautiful rider beneath it, crushing the life from her. Men ran to the rescue, but Pes tclich xvas there before them. He was laughing and dancing at the side of the dead Pleureite and when he cried My business is to joke with everyone-even 'idi horses," people knew him for a madman. He had placed a lighted cigarette in the horse's ear. Ii was Ins last joke, for on ilic way u the po - lice siatioi, he com mi tied suicide.
