Two more factors have entered into

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.
Women Have Long Been Interested In
the Important Problem.

Women Have Long Been Interested In
the Important Problem.
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 the world began.
Women especially have shown 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
latest well-known writer to discourse
on the familiar theme is Max O'Rell.
Without giving a recipe for the pres
ervation OF beauty. NJ. Blouet drops
many useful hints as to the causes
which lead to the unnaturally early
disappearance of youth in some peo-
pie. Bad temper and a lack Of humor
are. In his opinion. the two greatest
enemies of youth and beauty. Max
ORell thinks that with the aid of q
sense of humor and good temper a
woman can be young and beautiful
until so. After so he can offer no ad-
vice on the subject.

She crossed the bridge, sat down on
the rock and leaned her chin on her
hand.
The Miller watched her longingly.
AS one comforts a child whose hand
is sore. he would have comforted her.
Lost in reverie. she failed to see the

The sun hung low in the west. and
a 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 a man and q
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 fioated by with her. and as the
old man leaned from his sheltering
vines the sun glinted and rippled on
her bright brown hair.

and stepped over the rocks to settle
on the large one which projected into
the river.

"a cough that wouldn't have startled

and vigorously pulled at his old pipe.

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 talk fioated to him.
After they passed he got up and
knocked the ashes from his pipe.
Hit pears to me- he said refiec-
lively. that city fellers be degener-

next afternoon, "ef them young folks

as he sat on his porch the third after

road. that they'll come agin. low

wound from the river to the hill, and
