The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-11-19

When do see thee most, beloved one?
When in the light the spirits of mine
eyes
Before thy face their altar, solemnize
The workshop of that Love through
thee made known?
Or when, In the dusk hours 1--WE two
alone)
Gloss kiss'd, and eloquent of still re-
plies
They Thy twilight hidden glimmer-
ing visage lies,
And my soul only sees thy soul its
own?
0 love. my love! If no more should
Thyself, nor on the earth the shadow
Nor image of thine eyes in any spring
How then should sound upon Life's
darkening slope
The ground-while of the peSish'd
leaves of Hope,
The wind of Deaths imperishable
wing?
Dante Gabriel Rossetti. From "A
Year Book of Famous Lyrics"
A&A
A woman physician gives it as her
opinion that emotional and physical ac-
tivity is the best means to keep a
woman ever young.
Activity and the interest in accom-
plishment and achievement" she said,
seem to be the secrets of feminine
beauty. Care and indulgence alone
will not keep the potent charm of
youth.
Some Of the wealthiest of women,
whose lives are dreams of luxury, will
age rapidly But the active body and
emotional nature do much to keep the
face young.
But the woman who works is the
woman who keeps her youth and good
looks even to the half century mark
If her work be either the social routine
or in the dramatic field she can retain
her charms long past that age. 1t is
invariably the idle woman, with moth
ing to occupy her but dress, that gets
wrinkled and old. She has neither
work nor pleasure to keep her busy nor
an interest in life other than the cos
tune for dinner each evening.
"She rails at fate, but never gets at
the secret that 1t is lack of occupation
only that is tiresome. She usually nur
lures some pet complaint as an excuse
for her idleness and takes her maps,
lolling about her rooms without
thought exception her own dreary exist
ence. Iihave such women among my
patients, and I pity them, but I can
never rouse them.
IF I talk to them about Bernhard
and her complaint that she has not
enough work to do, and of Ellen Terry's
youth, they can't understand It, 1t is
a mystery, they say, and hint at cos
metics. If one were to tell therA that
work is the best beauty wash in the
world and the best elixir of youth they
would think it very bad form indeed,
Some people, you know, believe with
Tolstoi that a perfectly healthy woman
is hideous"
Rev. Samuel Eliot, D. d., President
