in al ways. The colors, the material,

NOT * TYRANT
Father Time Is Not SO Ruthless as He
Is Said to Ee.


1t was probably while we were en-
pleyed with our creams and cosmetics
before retiring last night that We
thought about keeping young ''-or
growing old
Just because old time is still a-fyIng,
We are not obliged to grow. older
just because the years are passing we
need not leave youth behind
Just because our birthdays are ac-
cumulating we are not duty bound to
accumulate gray-headed hearts
For, after all, the stream of time can
watt US 10 the lovely land OF youth and
its flower time as well as TO the vale OF
years with its sere and yellow leaf
We can choose our own port and go
IN either direction
We can grow old or young as we will
We can be younger at fifty than our
children at fifteen
We can have less care at fifty-one
than at twenty.
We can have less anxiety at ifty-two
than at twenty-five
We can have less worry and more
buoyaney at sixty-six than at sixteen
We can have lighter hearts at sixty
one than at thirty-one.
We can E.aye fresher hopes, SUMMER
faith, caiIner peace. warmer, ruddier.
redder love IN our sixties and seventies
than in our teens and twenties.
Old Father Time is supposed TO have
trick OF giving out worries and cares,
and possibilities. and gray hairs, and
doubled over backs and doubled under
hearts.
He has a reputation for trampIing on
our lovely hopes, and blighting our am
bitions. and freezing out our airy ar
dors
Don't vorl believe it.

EXEPCISESFO GRACE
A Few Simple Suggestions Conducive
to This Desirable Quality.

To be slender, 1.-the and graceful is

the plump sisterhood this all sounds
like a fairy tale, but what has been
done can be done again II requires,
however, the very qualities which those
of abundance of adipose tissue think
they do not generally possess or are
rranifestly unwilling to exert.
In the attainment of grace of body
there are several attributes necessary:
First. slenderness of body: second. sup
pleness OF muscle, and thirdly, length
OF limb and litheness. To the stout wo-
man who can't lace her own shoes with

attributes seems something quite be-

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t IS i
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disin-
fectant and purifier IN nature, but few
realize its value when taken into the
human system for The same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of 1t the better; it IS not 2
drug st all, but simply absorbs TIE
g3Ises and impurities always present in
the stomach and inteStines and Carries

Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or eating onions and
other Odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm

and euinently safe cathartic.

chrysanthemums were used largely
for the horse show functions. and they
were also the favorite flower for the

pink roses for those who desire more

Candy flowers for favors will be
