ILLUSION AND REALITY.

ILLUSION AND REALITY.
While Martin had assured the doctor
that he intended to return to Greenvale
for an indefinite time, it is doubtful
whether he would except for two rea-
sons-first, Angie, and second, the ma
mia that all country-born men of Wal
tonian instincts who drift cityward
soon or late have, to retire to the peace
of rural life and establish trout pre-
serve.
In Martins case it may be asserted
that it was the lady, more especially,
that was the attraction.
1t was weeks before he could SO
shape his business affairs as to leave
the city temporarily, and midsummer
ere he packed his trunk, and, with an
unwieldy bundle of rods, started for
Greenvale.
Fishing in the old brooks will serve
an an excuse he said to himself, but
it was to angle for Angie rather than
trout.
Little did he realize how many keen
disappointments were in store for him.
or how most of the charming fancies OF
his boyhood were to be dispelled.
In the first place, he had neglected
to notify Dr. Sol when he was likely
to reach Greenvale, and it so happened,
when the 20-mile stage ride ended and
| that dust-laden vehicle, with Martin
| as sole passenger, halted at the doctors
| just at twilight, no one was there to
receive him. Martin paid the rather
surly driver who dumped his trunk on
the porch and then hurried away, OBJ
! 1ivfous to what became of, or how
Jared, his passenger.
Then Martin sat down to think.

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY
No Woman Can Do This Who Has
Permitted Her Mirror to Be
come Her Tyrant.

To e great many women the time
they devote before the mirror be-
comes in way a period of supreme
torture. Whether long or short, this
time spent in peering into ner glass
and searching there for signs of age,
care CT worry in her face is not only
time wasted, but put to the worst
possible use.
l have in mind, says a writer in the
San Francisco Chronicle, woman of
80 odu, in the heyday of her beauty,
who daily scans her mirror for traces
of the first wrinkle or the first gray
hair. The day when she makes the
discovery-and it will be long before
anyone else does-will be a day of
misery for her, for she firmly believes
that youth, beauty and happiness are
bound up in the preservation of an
unlined brow and raven hair
Her apprehension. is SO great that
she worries so that age should take
her unawareS that she is really incapa-
BILE of fully enjoying her youth and
good looks.
No one can get the best out of life
who lives in constant dread of what
the mirror will reflect Every woman
wants to be as pretty as possible, and
every woman should do all in her
power to preserve her charms. But to
make tyrant of the mirror is to give
it a power and influence which does
not rightly belong to it.
We see in others what we wish to
see in them, and this is particularly
true of the reflections in the looking
glass;.
If we scan it for traces of oncoming
years, for wrinkles and lusterless eyes,
we see, or think we see, the signs of
age approaching. If one looks at it
convinced that it will reflect the vigor
and splendid maturity which one feels
there will be no disappointment.
A wrinkle, gray hair does not
mean age. The handsomest woman 1
know is a grandmother and the years
may possibly point to 40, but when she
looks into the glass she does so fear
lessly, knowing that she will.see there
the image of face full of charm, good
cheer and sympathy, and she is never
disappointed.
She uses many outward means of
preserving her looks and attends to
her hair and complexion persistently,
but she has learned the secret that it
is ner spirit and not the lotion that
keeps her looking and feeling young
She does not think Of herself as old
| nor speak of the approaching years
with dread. Her mind Is filled with
interest for all things, her heart with
sympathy for all people, and she has
found the secret of youth.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY NOTES.

The afternoon nap is beneficial to
those who would gain flesh.
After the shampoo, if the hair is sti1
and dry, rub olive oil into the roots.
Highly scented soaps are often in
furious as the scent is added to conceal
rancid ingredients.
In dieting to reduce flesh drink no
liquids at meals and no water until an
hour at least after the meal.
A glass of warm or hot milk taken
just before or Immediately after arising
will prove flesh producer.
For enlarged pores the camel's hair
brush and constant scrubbing with pure
soap is the quickest and surest cure.
Thin people who wish to gain flesh
should eat light luncheon before retir-
ing; an empty stomach feeds upon the
flesh of the body.
II the finger nails are filed daily, little
cutting is needed This is an excellent
plan to follow when the nails are brittle
and break in the cutting.
bad figure and poor carriage are
often due to laziness. Walk with the

Che trees grow silently, and God alone
Can hear the sap rise to the budding

And hear, how in the daytime and the

The brown earth nourishes the hidden

Our senses are so dull. else could we

The young grass breaking through the
And hear the dew fall on the barren
fields,
And white frosts gather when the
nights cold.
All silently the little streak of dawn
Grows into some faint haze of softest
gray,
Gray turns to pearl until, in garments
white,
All gloriously comes forth the perfect
day.
The bud becomes flower; the flower,
fruit;
The silken leaves all silently unfold;
The dainty bud, it slips its slender sheath
And noiselessly PITS On its dress of gold
All human grow,- is silent to our ears,
And but brings out some great, eternal
plan
That. perfected, runs through the round
ed years,
The stage of youth, the high estate
of man.
Within it's narrow bounds expands and
grows,
The soul shut in by common walls of
clay,
Too narrow are the confines, and at
length,
1t spreads its unseen wings and flies
away.
o power of God! it speaks in these dumb
ways;
Great moving force, unseen and never
still,
That in mysterious, hidden ways come
down
To work, in silence, Heavens eternal
