Excerpt from June "June! June! where are you?" "I am here, " answers a charming voice, and the owner of it trips out from behind a rose-bush, holding a cluster of half-blown crimson blossoms of which she has despoiled it. June, the month, links spring to summer, in June the birds sing their sweetest, the senses are keenest, June bears the hope and promise of the year. June has hot fits and cold fits, summer skies and angry tears, balmy airs and chilling winds. June is young and fresh, bright and hopeful, gay and careless in the faith of good days to come, June, when fair, is fairest of the fair, and June the month is a it prototype of June the smiling maiden who answers so promptly to the cry, - "June! June! where are you? I shall not describe to you the form or features of my heroine. I will but tell you that she is fair, and leave you to make her picture according to your fancy. She has the love of approbation, the keen desire to please, to be liked and loved, without which a woman, beautiful as Venus, can never truthfully be called charming. This quality, indeed, is not, as a rule, possessed by actually beautiful women. Charming has become a cant phrase to-day, and is used to express a thousand things that it does not mean, is applied to a thousand people whom it is furthest from describing. But June is charming because she desires to charm, - because she is eager for love and praise, and takes pains to win them. Though not from every one, - only from those she cares for.
