As Old As Ynn Feel

People grow old by thinking them
selves old. When they reach the age
of 40. so or 60. they imagine that they
look like others of the same age, and
that they soon will be useless, unfit for
work. and unable to perform their
wonted duties. AS surely as they think
this. it will come true, for thought is
creative How many of US can say,
with Job. 'The thing which l greatly
feared is come upon me-"
The time will come when children
Iwill not be allowed to celebrate their
birthdays when they will know that,
by thinking themselves young, they
will remain young. and that they will
cease to grow old when they cease to
believe in old age. declares Success for
February The body is built up of be-
liefs and our convictions are stamped
upon every fibre of our beings. What
we believe. what we think. that we
are: so people who remain young in
spirit never grow old.
Not one OF a hundred students, of
whom the writer was one under oliver
Wendell Holmes. at Harvard, ever
thought of him as an old man, al
though he had then passed his S0th
birthday His spirit was so young,
and he was so buOyant, so fresh and
full of life. that we always thought of
him as one of ourselves. His vivacity
and ioyousness were contagious. You
could not be in his presence five min
utes without feeling brighter and bet
ter for it. The genial doctor never
practiced medicine. yet he did more to
relieve human suffering than many
praeticing physicians. His presence was
a tonic; it was perpetual delight to be
near him.

Nerds to the Wise

PiQue is going to be the smart wear
this season for shirt waists. Pique is
so different a material nowadays from
what it was in years gone by that one
scarcely recognizes IT, In stripes,
plaids and figured effects, with stripes
in the lead. it will be quite the rage.
There are newer laces than Irish
point There are the new Chinese and
Japanese effects and the Russian gull
pure styles. which as yet have only
been imported in few metre lengths.
These are the novel things in Paris,
and the new modes in these will show
appliques. borders. and insertions
rather than the Irish guipures, which,
althoush, extremely popular, are still
not the latest thing.
Paris has been wearing flled-in
vests of soft. wide ribbons, gathered
together and draped as inside gilets,
between the outer blouse and inside
vest.
Moire vests and bands afford a very
striking combination. supplanting the
long-used taffeta. The relief is pleas
ing and results most favorable.
Drop skirts are ruffed instead Of the
usual plated founce.
The long silk coat is to be quite a
pronounced features of the spring
modes. It will be made of moire. peau
de sole, and the ever popular taffeta.
The tendency in shoulder trim
mings is toward cape. surplice, guimpe,
and stole effects.
Whole lace waists of Irish crochet
are the latest fad among those who can
afford them.
