A dinner was given In the red room
Of the st. Francis last week by the Ia

six guests were entertained, among
them being those of intellect and cul-

cessful in every detail than that given
yesterday by Mrs. Redmond Payne in
honor of her sister, Miss Irene Sabin.
The affair was elaborate. Two large
round tables seated the guests, twenty
four in all, the decorations contrasting
vividly yet harmonizing most taste
fully. Poinsettias graced one table; the
other in dainty dress of hyacinths and
snowdrops was exquisite in its snowf-

How to Keep Young.

She is one Of the most interesting
women in the world. Over 65 years
old, slight built, sensitive and nervous
and though she has seen more suffer
ing than falls to the lot of most women
she is still young.
Her prescription for youthfulness u
interesting and we'll worth trying.
How do 1 stand all this wear and
tear? Economy. That's it, economy. 1
save my strength. When I'm not work
ing at the business which is my very
life, I either rest or play. l don't
putter. That's what ages women-put-
tering. When 1 see a teacher breaking
down or a trained nurse giving up with
nervous prostration, 1 wonder when
women will learn to stop puttering.
1T isn't work that wears cut; it's
fretting and puttering. The way to
keep young? Stop worrying and go to
work Throw yourself, heart and soul
brain and nerve, into some one thing:
make a fetish Of it; throw every bit of
energy you've got into it-housekeep
ing. taking care of children, teaching.
writing, nursing-it doesn't make a bit
of difference what you do; it's the way
you do it that counts. Copy the first
young looking man you see; do the way
he does; work when you are working,
but when you are not working cult
vate the art of being amused"
