Women Have Long Been interested In

The problem of how to keep young.
or to keep from looking old. has en-
gagged the thoughts of both men and
women ever since tho world began.
Women especially have shown q deep
interest in the vexatious matter. for
their influence with men has always
depended much on physical freshness
and beauty. Numerous writer's have
contributed their views as to defying
the riddle of the ravages OF time. The

Without giving recipe for the pres.

many useful hints as to the causes
which lead to the unnaturally early
disappearance of youth in some peo-

are, in his opinion. the two greatest
enemies Of youth and beauty. Max
O'Rell thinks that with the aid Of a
sense of humor and good temper a
woman can be young and beautiful

An Old Mans Diversion.

BY SARA LINDSAY COLEMAN.
Copyright. 1902. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
The sun hung low in the west, and
q breeze from the river stirred the
vines that climbed ON the Miller's
porch.
1t was always very quite there late
afternoons, and the Miller, an old
man, sat there after the days hard
work was done and watched the
night settle down.
One afternoon, his reverie was
broken into by the sound of voices.
He looked out to see man and a
woman walking slowly past his home.
Both were young. The girl was
more than pretty-her charm trans
cended beauty. 1t caught the old
mans eye just as it turned heads on
crowded city pavements. A faint frag-
rance floated by with her, and as the
old man leaned from his sheltering
vines the sun glinted and rippled on
her bright brown hair.
Taint nateral to be as good,.okin'
as that n jes as big as fairy" he
said under his breath like.
"Courtin' couples jes materially take
to water"
The two had crossed foot bridge
and stepped over the rocks to settle
on the large one which projected into
the river.
Il wonder, naow," the old man com
muned with himself. "ef l should go
in? Hits mighty pleasant out here.
I'll jes Civ em warnin'." He coughed
"A cough that wouldn't have startled
. mouse.
A moment later he coughed again
and vigorously puffed at his old pipe.
Then he settled back in his chair,
his nostrils twitching with contempt.
"Jes books" he muttered. AN

The sunset gates unbarred to let
the day through, and the good fer
"nothin' leetle hans" were lifted to
meet the clasp Of stronger ones above
her as she sprang to her. feet and
turned toward the west
"Jes books" he muttered again. as
snatches Of their tclk fioated to him.
After they passed he got up and
knocked the ashes from his pipe.
Hit pears to me-" he said rehec-
lively. that city fellers be degener-

next afternoon. "ef them young folks
