CHARMS OF ADVANCED AGE.
Peauty That. Rightly Considered,
Iatche. That of Youth

Il is difficult matter with many peo-
n!o to grow old gracefully, as the saying
goes. II is not agreeable to them to grow
old at all Life is so pleasant here that
they are loath to give it up, loath to
change its conditions loath to drop the
activities, the receptivities. the delights of
youth. They hate to find themselves I'M
able to do the things they have always
done-to walk the miles. to climb the hills,
to achieve the tasks that We're once such
mere play to them. The first gray hair is
a jest. the first lines on the face give no
dismay; when the gray hairs serve to
powder the other, when the line deepens
from nostril to lip. when the cheek begins
to droop, when the flesh loosens under the
chin. then they find it no laughing mat
ter but one for gloom, if not for tears.
And yet age has its very distinct value.
What would house be, what would
nursery be. without its grandmother?
How much of an object in life would be
missed by every member of the family
TO which she is a center and a rallying
point? While she is there the older peo-
pie have someone yet older than them
selves 10 allow them still a feeling of
youth. sort of tender barrier, too. be-
tween them and the dark unknown; the
youngest ones have someone who makes
the past an actual true story for Them
sometimes less far away and dim and I'M
believeable, someone who really seems to
hold up the sky on her shoulders; and
there is someone also there for whom
the necessary doings of little things call
out the spirit of effort and sacrifice.
Nor is age unlovely to the eye. As
there is one glory of the sun and another
Of the stars, so there is the beauty of the
youth and the beauty of age, too. 1t is
not the beauty that appeals to the senses;
it is perhaps a loftier and purer type
than that-it has the difference that there
is between a red nose and a moonbeam,
between the body and the spirit. And one
who has seen it in its perfection on the
lovely face of some placid old woman
finds il restful TO the eye and all as
pleasant 20 the soul as the blushing
beauty of the young girl, whose cheek
wears the velvet bloom of the peach. and
whose lips are Douted for kisses, but
whose soul has yet to find its transfigur-
alton.

Twirling on your toes in the firm
clasp Of black coated arm is one thing,
studying the dance as an art from q
lofty philosophical plane is quite another
species of spiritual and bodily exercise.
The Hungarian band and the masculine
presence have played no part in the
Lenten dancing class that has held its
sessions in private drawing rooms in
New York city for the past five weeks.
This new departure in art has been I'M
der the guiding eye and voice of a young
and lovely instructress who wears a soft
flowing gown. draped in Greco Roman
folds and made Of duh blue or green or
rose tinted nuns yelling.
The whole object Of this new move
ment in the saltatory art is to teach
women "how to dance with expressive
sentiment. with luminous grace and with
philosophic meaning" At least that is
what the high priestess in the nuns
yelling toEa explains to her attentive
pupils They do not dissent when she
calls on them TO admit that though I'm
Gle Sam is blessed in many ways he re-
mains laughingstOck of the nations in
having no strictly national dance, and
their eyes brighten Charmingly when she
eXplans-that any woman who will learn
to dance properly is bound TO become a
figure of SlimncSs and grace.
She breaches the gospel of the dance as
a necessity of life and beauty like food
and the bath. exercise or hospitality.
Her project is to renew the gracious
Grecian days when dancing was a pre-
cious accomplishment, priced as highly
as polite conversation and polished man
ners are today. She is going to teach
women to use their bodies as they do
their eyes or their tongues; to express
exquisite sentiments, noble ideas and
lofty aspiration. She proposes to render
their limbs so plant. their gestures so
expressive their motions so Ineligible
that at sixty n woman will be as supple
as at sixteen, and that admiration will
be aroused as much by her manner of
crossing the room. stepping into a car
riage or plucking a rose as by rare love-
illness of face.
In short, she teaches her disciples to
dance philosophically. guarantees to
make short or tall, fat or bony, grace
full or ungainly girl a model of elegant
propriety in action, and show them, one
and ALL how to gain health as well as
beauty in the process.

Little Sermon to Women.

There are great many words of kind
ness left unsaid. Many pleasant look is
never given. Many favors go unacknowl-
edged, which sins of omission, added to-
gether, cloud the domestic sky. The
household is only sweet when there's
love at home" The wife's bright cheer
fulness brings the contagion of gladness
TO her husbands heart and her baby's
face. We are very much dependent upon
each other. We absorb the influence of
our environments whether they be cloudy
or clear.
Cheerfulness Is the essence of helpful
ness and happiness. To be cherries is to
be hopeless. 1t was divine tongue that
said BE of good cheer" Both husband
and wife have their own place and part
to play in the home life. If we had more
cheerful husbands and bright-faced wives
there would be less of that sorrow and
sin that shocks and startles the world
Study to avoid the unpleasant things.
Try to inspire the home life as you can.
for a good woman is an angel of light.
They are born to love, to be loved. and to
scatter sunshine and cheer wherever they
go. A cheerful womans eyes are like
stars of twilight.
"A perfect woman nobly planned,
To warn, TO comfort and command"

nervous, petulant and respondent.
Generally ill-health in woman is due to
disorders or arrangements of the delicate
and important feminine organs which are
the cradle of the race. No woman who suf-
fers in this way can retain her good looks
or her attractiveness. The daily burden of
torturing, dragging pains that she carries,
will soon make her a physical wreck, and
eventually either kill her or drive her to
insanity. Any woman may restore and re-
tain her health and strength in womanly
way by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favoritc
Prescription. II cures absolutely and COM
pletely the weakness and diseases peculiar
to her sex. It does away with the neces-
sity for the obnoxious examinations and
local treatments ~ insisted upon by nearly
all physicians. and enables her to treat her
self in the privacy of her home. 1t is the
invention of DR.. r. v. Pierce, for thirty
years chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at
Buffalo, N. Y. Any woman may consult
him by letter free of charge. All cores
