What She Should Do.

BERTHE had been forbidden under Sc
we're penalties to play in the rain bar
rel, but the other day, sad to relate, his
mamma and grandmother found him
splashing in 1t in high glee.
His mammals face hardened, but the
grandmother's kind heart led her to
make a plea for the offender.
BERTHE heard the plea, and when his
mamma asked him sternly what she
should do to a little boy who did not
mind what was told him he answered
promptly:
Il fink you had better mind your
mamma"

A Belle at Forty.

Don't think you are to old to do this,
too old to do that. You are always as
young as you feel. People grow old by
thinking themselves old.
Don't think you are too old to be
young. Live young life, which has a
tendency to keep up youthful looks.
Woman, while not being kittenish or a
''bud" need never be old in her ways.
Don't think that you are forbidden to
think of your looks, or to attend to your
appearance, because you happen to be
thirty. Balzac has said that woman of
thirty is at her most fascinating and
dangerous age-that is, dangerous to the
hearts of men.
Don't make a mistake about ito be
young, to be in the first, faint flush OF
youth, is no longer the fashion. The
fashionable age for successful society
woman is between thirty and forty.
Don't however 60 on the housetop and
proclaim to the world that you are forty
and glad of it.
Don't attempt repair and preserva-
ton of beauty with paints, powders and
wells. Take plenty of exercise, stand
erect, sit, erect. When you speak, let
your voice possess volume and energy.
When you think, think freshly.
Don't say you haven't time for the
afternoons "forty winks.' Take it,
and your renewed strength will show in
freshened complexion. A half-hour's
nap after luncheon will do more to
eradicate wrinkles than all the beauti-
fiers in the world.
81, that Efa nf md
luxury is essential to preserving youth
full, delicate looks. A certain amount
of work and exercise is necessary to
keep the muscles firm and elastic and
the flesh hard.
Don't let go of love or love of romance.
They are amulets against wrinkles. Not
all of the worlds homage is poured at
the feet of girlhood.
Don't fancy that the dew of youth,
with its complexion of roses, is alone
able to inspire passion. A woman's
six to forty. The old saw about "sweet
sixteen" is exploded.
Don't be glum if you want to be
young. Dance and sing and, above all ,
laugh. Ride, drive, row, swim and
walk a mile-or make it three-daily.
Keep your heart young and thus defy
Father Time.
Don't be afraid that some one will say,
"Why, she goes about like yong girl!'
If you feel light and easy in motion why
be staid, moping, artificial because you
are supposed to be so, being no longer
young?
Don't be envious or disheartened or
impatient. Those evil habits make ugly
lines in the face. Do gentle, kind, gen.
erous things without thought of return.
Don't think there is intense respecta-
bility in being rather ugly because you
are old. No old person has right to be
ugly. She has had all her life in which
to grow Observation-Disclosures Star.

A Warning Against Cheap Furnl-
ture.

1t is one of the saddest sights in our
modern life to see young couple, when
starting to furnish home, 60 out
with good money and buy bad furniture:
1t is positively nothing short of criminal
for cheap department and furniture
stores to be allowed to sell the furniture
which is being offered to-day in our
great cities. Young people are attracted
to this rubbish because of cheap prices.
Every stick of the furniture offered at
these stores is cheaply put together,
and by glue and thick coats of veneer is
made only to sell. 1t barely gets into
the new house before it falls apart, and
what was thought to be a cheap pur-
chase turns out to be very expensive
investment. 1t is strange that folks can
not get it through their heads that a
bed, table and two chairs, honestly
made, are cheaper at sixty dollars than
one of those fearful connections known
as "bedroom SUITS which are sold at
forty dollars and eighty-three cents.
