ABOUT GIRLS. i
Kvery (iirl Should Have Some J
Useful Vocation or Avocation.
What fond affections cluster j
around the truly innocent girl-the
girl whose purity glistens like the
snow in the frosty moonlight!
Nothing in all this world is quite
so charming as girlish innocence.
And how can any girl he really
happy unless she is pure and in
nocent, sweet and wholesome ?
The l-'reneh have a pretty pro
verb, "La beaute sans vertu est
une Heur sans parfutn" (Beauty
without virtue is like a tlower
without perfume.) Lvery genu
inely pretty girl in the world is as
pure as the pearl. The loveliest
and best "movie" actresses are
those whose days are spent in
goodness.
For generations Priscilla, the
Puritan maiden, principal historic
figure of Longfellow's immortal
...... , ... r lira
poem I lie t.ourtsnip oi macs
Standish," has been regarded by
the llnglish-speaking world as an
ideal ivne of auileless girlhood, of
maidenly modesty.
"There is no land so sacred, no
air so pure and so wholesome
As is the air she breathes, and the
soil that is pressed by her foot-1
steps."
There is doubtless many a mod
ern Priscilla. Lack of space for
bids me to speak in detail of the
character of F.vangeline, "the pride
of the village ol drand l're, as
lineated in Longfellow's exquisite
ly beautiful poem of that name.
Lvery girl should have some
vocation or avocation, idleness is
a prolific source of vice, sin.misery
and unhappiness. The girl in good
health ought to be willing to do
her share of the werld's work.
The young woman who goes forth
in the morning to earn her daily
bread, to "breast the blows of cir
cumstance," to wage the battle of
life alone, determined to maintain
her purity and her innocence at
all hazards, is beyond all praise.
Honest, conscientious work is
good lor both soul and body. We
cannot always choose our own
work. "Let us to Providence
trust, and aDioe anu woiiv m our
stations." The girl without tui
tion and training cannot expect to
fill any of the more important
positions.
The humblest girl can have a
little library of choice books which
will be all her own. Many of the
most popular books in our public
libraries are among the most
worthless. An inspiring book for
girls is "Fairest Girlhood," by
Maruaret L. Sangsier. Another
noble hook by the same author, is i
"Winsome Womanhood." Still
another great and inspiring book
is "The Pleasures of Life," by
Lord Avetuiry, better known as
Sir John Lubbock. I wish I could
place a copy of each of these three
beloved volumes in the hands of
every girl in America.
Of course the Bible is the great
est ot all books. Two noble girls
(or women) of the Old Testament
are Lsther and Ruth, whose char
acters any girl can study with prof
it. Henry Ward Beecher once
said that books are not furniture,
but that there is nothing which so
completely furnishes a house as
books. Any private library, how
ever small, should include copies
of Shakespeare, Milton and the
Bible. Blessed is that girl whose
thirst for useful knowledge is insa
tiable. The girl who would make the
most of life, who would avoid the
many pitfalls, snares and allure
ments which meet the young on
every hand, must give diligent
heed unto the advice, admonition
and instructions of her parents.
For, in the words of King Lear,
"How sharper than a serpent's
tooth it is to have a thankless

THE OLD
ROCKING CHAIR.
I. ZABA,
MERCHANT UILORX
o iti
TABHEE'S ROO F PUS I
You may talk ol the joy ot a sv ill-gliding keel,
And the pleasure you find in an automobile;
The delight of a trotter and a rubber-tired rig,
Or a sleigh when King Winter puts on his while wig;
Or canter away over fences and rocks,
Or a tall bony hunter pursuing the fox;
You may also go up tor a spin in the air,
But give me the ease of die old rocking-chair.
The rose-tlowered cretonne is laded and torn,
The back has been mended, the varnish is worn,
But when ram on the pane drums a dreary refrain,
And sorrowful memories haunt me again,
Or the day has been long, and I'm weary and sad,
Or my spirits are low, or the kiddies are bad,
How sweet to forget all my trouble and care
In the kindly embrace ol the old rocking-chair!
A mother reclined in its roominess deep
To sing to her babies and rock them to sleep;
A father found rest at the close of the day
Leaning back on its cushions so soft and so gay;
And flaxen-haired tots made believe 'twas a boat
In which to tar countries they journeyed afloat,
So the throne of a monarch can never compare
In value to me with the old rocking-chair.
Apart of each dear one ho loved it so well
Seems yet in the battered old rocker to dwell,
It is hallowed by hands that are under the mold,
And here with the new chairs, all satin and gold,
On the Axminster rug ii shall stay to the end,
A shabby but honored, reliable friend.
The rest to the attic in time we may bear.
But I'll never abandon the old rocking-chair.
