GROWING GIRL.• There seems to be just one way to impress upon a child the desirability of being orderly, and that is by mak- ing it just as easy—and pleasanter— to be orderly than to be otherwise. "Just as easy to be orderly" necessi- tates places for the children to keep their possessions. I -looks low enough for the children to reach with ease. A. table or shelf ve'ry near the entrance door where schoolbooks and lunch box- es may be dropped at night and as- zembled in the morning. A line or shelf near the stove or furnace regis- ter where caps, mittens and overshoes may be dried and warmed. A cup - beard for toys and other valuable pos- sessions. These ma,ke it just about as easy to put things away as to drop them most anywhere. As for the pleasantness of being orderly, that is easily worked out in each family. "I don't like mother to, pick up things, for she chucks every- thing in a heap in the dark closet,"1 conipla.ined one small boy. That dark1 closet has taught a more impressive lesson than many weary hours of talking on inother part. Fred wOuld much re ther put his cap where it be- longs than to search it out of a mix - titre of articles in the dark. "Mother helped us fix a shelf behind the stove and we always put our boots and overshoes there when we take them off," was the virtuous ans- tion of another small boy, Fine—bui Simple and e-----------------ectrv elauth the eeideece would suggest If they are found lying about the floor, longer than one hanging loose from the top, and it leaves the upper sash clear.

It is the tittle of full mat of -the full-blown- rose, breathirt„ heart out in perfume, not the;hard tle bud that is only faintly free:rein, Our glorifying of youth is a Mere superstition. Youth, in reality, Is not a time of happiness. It is a time of stress and tears of bitter dieanpolat- ments and baffled.. desires, when We suffer because we have not learned. how to meet the trials and tribulations of life. When you are young you can go 'through the agonies of being eternally , disgraced by having to wearsa dress or a coat different from" those worn by your eompanions. You can suffer tit- ter desolation of soul and feel that there is nothing left in life worth hay- ing if it rains on the day you had plaM lied to go to a picnic. You can know every torinee.t of the pariah if you- are 'a wall -flower at a party or; ar.e too bashful to go with the crowd.

Moreover, -see have seen so many hopes blasted, so many disas- ters turn into viatery, that we are con- tent to wait the tiirie of fate. To men, middle age is the time of achievement.
