/ fully DOTTED his hat and held 1t In his
hand until he reached his destination.
What a charming man. Such love-
~ manners" gushed the ladies' in
chorus.
few minutes later the benevolent
looking man OF the lovely manners
reached his office. Pitching his hat on
the back of his benefcent head, sprawl
ing himself down in true manly aban-
don at his desk, putting clay pipe in
an artisticaHy masculine fashion,
| occasionally expectoratirg in the vi
entity of a cUspidor, he greets his S.
a-week- for ten hours-a-day stenc-
grapher by jocuiarly inqu.ring why
- those legal papers aren't finished.
Lovely man.
Oh, yes, very.
The youth of the spirit and the
youth of the body part company un-
fortunately just as the former attains
It's best development and is most fitted
to appreciate intelligently whatever
the world offers in the way OF true en-
joyment A healthy mind in healthy
body, says the New York Times, never
grows old, and unless suffering from
| some of the ills that flesh is heir TO
mai or woman is quite As GsSle TO en-
joy life at 60 at at 20. Young people
seldom realize this-because mammals
time is always occupied with worries
that as long as she is able she keeps
from depressing their bright spirits.
| With house keeping cares that al
though seemingly not so onerous, be-
come so by reason of the daily atteh
ton and time that they require, and
with her never ceasing projects for
| their entertainment and well being,
they fancy that she no longer cares
for the pleasures and pursuits that
| used to absorb her when she was
| Younger The fact of the matter Is
| that it is only the unselfish mother
love that causes her to relinquish what
she is more than ever capable of APP
preciating and enjoying. With pater-
famailias it is the same thing. He has
assumed responsibilities and spends
| his days in hard work. not from choice,
but from necessity, and 1t is absurd
| for those for whom he tolls to imagine
| that he has lost his taste for the cakes
and ale of existence because he has
apparently become a mere money
| grabbing machine.
1t not infrequently happens when
families grow UP and desert the home
| nest that latent talent in the hard
| worked mother of the family develops
surprisingly, and many clever wo1n-
| an has only then found opportunity to
| devote herself to pursuits that she
might have excelled in if she had had
! the time to cultivate them earlier in
| life.
| Several instances might be cited of
| grandmothers who took up the pen
| only when the marriage. OF their chill
| dren enabled them to lay down the
| needle, and become successful author
esses. And even gray haired art stu
| dents have often developed into ar
| lists of no mean ability.
II went to call on old Mrs B. the
other day" said one of her acquairt-
aances. land she excused herself send

| after she has finished her education
| she will become debutante; she seems
to get younger and younger every

The following Is a conversation over
heard in a street car and reported in
the Chicago Record Herald: do you
know" said the one who gushed that
had the funniest dream night before
| last? / dreamed that ! was out riding
with Mr.. Maltbie in his automobile.
and suddenly while we were going
down a steep hill it shot out into space
and we went sailing over the tops of
the trees and swinging around in great
circles. And / wasn't tile least bit
| frightened, but Just sat there, chat
ting with him as naturally as IL we had
been right on the ground
| why, how ridiculous!" exclaimed
the girl who pretended to be deeply i'm
| terested.
and such funny thing happened to
| me yesterday when I was downtown. l
took lunch at Marshal Fields, and
then went over to Carson- Prizes and
looked at some books. and was Just
starting for Mandel's when all of a
sudden l remembered that hadn't
| paid for what I had eaten. I had Just
left the table and walked out. You can
| imagine how l felt. / went back Just
as fast as l could, and when I got
there. what do you suppose? The cash
Ter told me had paid; she remembered
that had handed her a 50 bill and she
had given me 80 in change. and, sure
CROUCH then l remembered 1t, too"
How sidiculousi"
"But really the funniest thing that
| ever happened to me was last week,
| when mamma wanted me to write for
her to find out about a medicine that
was advertised to cure lumbago Well,
when | had finished, I thought / might
| as well write to my cousin Henry in
Boston. I had owed him letter for
ever so long, so l wrote an awfully
nice one. jolying him you know, and
If didn't go and put il in the wrong
| envelope and send him the one about
| lumbagoi / got letter from him this
morning. and. oh. it's the funniest
thing He says he's studying law, and
wouldn't know lumbago from a dough-
nut. but II I'd like to find out anything
about Trent on titles or the statutes de
bonis he'd be glad TO put me next I
haven't heard from the lumbago man
yet but just think! If his wife should
| get the letter."
How ridiculousW
Charlie Pelham was over last night.
and-and he asked me to marry him.
But ! Just refused"
why. how ridiculous!"
Let every woman of the twentieth
| century who may so boast congratu-
! late herself that she IL an American
and not a woman OF India. Take the
! Tamil proverbs as illustration of what

What is that poison which appears

What IL the chief gate to hell? wo-
man."
What is cruel? The heart Of a VI

all? The heart of a soulless, penniless,
widow"
