Cheer for the Silent Girl.

There are few negative virtues which
conduce more 20 the comfort of the
possessor and those associated with
him or her than a talent for holding
ones tongue. To know when to speak,
and equally well when to be silent, is
no small part of the necessary equip
ment for life. Many a man passes for
wise simply by means Of saying Moth
ing and looking intelligent when others
speak; while those who talk least make
fewest enemies.
"A man who cannot hold his peace"
says Carlyle "is no right man." The
strong man keeps his own counsel; the
foolish babble. 1t is a weakness into
which most people fall without retlec-
tion, and those who wish to please,
being wise, endeavor to lead others to
talk about themselves. to reveal their
emotions, their thoughts, their hopes
and their feelings. Some wise man
has said that such condolences are 'the
insanity Of conceit and the feeblest spe-
cies of self-dispiay," which, while Sc
we're, is frequently true.
A woman. especially, to be attractive,
must preserve a sense Of reserve; she
must, 50 TO speak, keep UP a certain
amount OF mystery about herself. To
many persons this reserve is in itself
a compelling charm. In a popular mod
ern novel the imaginative hero wearies
of his bride because he discovers that
she is too transparent too easily un-
derstood." Which, however unreason-
able, is not an impossible state Of af-
fairs. There is an Arabian pnoverb.
one of the seven sayings OF Suleyman
the Sage, "Never tell all you may know.
since he who tells all he may know
often tells more than is wise" The
precept is one we'll worth keeping.
True, "a word ftly spoken is good, :"
and we may sometimes repent our si-
lence; but such Repentance Is rare when
compared to the frequency with which
we array ourselves in mental sackcloth
and ashes because of incautious
speeches. words which we would gladly
recall at almost any cost.
"a soft answer turneth away wrath
and still more truly "grievous words
stir up anger" There is a folklore
tale of woman who, finding her mar
ried life unhappy, went to n white witcn
for a charm against the trouble She
received a flask filled with a colorless
liquid, which she was directed to take
and hold i'm her mouth whenever she
felt disposed to quarrel with her hus-
band. She obeyed directions. and, de-
lighted with the effect of the charm,
went back to the witch for a fresh sup
ply when that was exhausted. M
''rhe liquid was merely water" said

Keep Your Heart Young.

In our grandmother's day for q gtsl
to be unmarried at 26 meant that she
was an old maid. says the st. Louis
Republican.
And let me tell you, young women,
that spinsterhood was quite a differ
ent thing in those days from now. The
old maid OF the family was pushed
aside for everyone ami by everyone.
The women looked upon her with pity,
the poor thing looked upon herself as
the most miserable Of failures.
AT 26 she was as settled down and
resigned to her fate as a woman OF 40
would be nowadays.
The old maid Of to-day at least neei
not stagnate and grow old before her
time. Mentally and physically she can
do much TO keep herself young
The girl whom our grandfathers
would have considered too old to court
is now in her very prime Of youth and
attractiveness. She is young enough
to be charming and old enough to dis
criminate, and she usually selects a
husband who will be congenlal to her
all her life.
The woman who allows herself to
settle into an old-fashioned maidish
person makes a great mistake. Moth
ing IS more silly and tiresome than a
klttenish middle-aged woman; but you
can be young In heart and body and yet
avoid being kittenish.
Do not settle down IN a corner and
let the world .orget you. Make a place
for yourself; make yourself popular
and necessary to your friends.
Marry If a fine man seeks you, even
If you and he are both past the bloom
of youth
It would have been better II you hal
married before you were 50, but you arc
stH young enough to crowd a great
deal OF happiness into your life. And
if you never marry. then make the best
of things by being a cheerful. sunny
hearted old maid. Keep interested IN
things and in people. As long as you
have something TO offer people will
never look on you as old and uninter-
esting.
Some girls are old maids at 30, and
that's because they have let themselves
get into a rut and are content to leaC
dreary dull lives.
Don't snar your face into a networl
of wrinkles and peevishness. KeeV
early hours. get as much fresh air az
you can and avoid all intoxicants.
That is a good way to keep your face
young.
Keep your temper; learn to laugh
think kindly Of people
That is the way to keep your hear
young.
Take exercise and eat sensibly.
That is the way to keep your figur'
young.
There you have a simple enough re-
cipe for youth If you want to follow
it.
The minute you begin TO think O.
/ yourself as an old maid you win ac
like one. Try to act ike sensible
wholesome girl or woman, ready FOL
fun or ready for earnest, as the ces'
demands.
Marry If you find the right man
but don't marry simply for the sake o
having Mrs" prenxed to your name
Matrimony is the best thing in tn
world. but it must be accompanied b.
sincere love ANA respect on both sides
If you don't marry, make mp you
mind to be a lovable jolly old maid
not a cranky. cantankerous one.

of her Investigations i'm the ibreweries

that women were fast displacing men

the wise woman. "The virtue OF the
remedy consists simply IN holding your
tongue. In keeping back angry an
swers."
All savage nations place high value
upon silence, and conversation is un-
doubtedly one Of the arts OF civiliza-
tion. To know what to say and how
TO say it, when and where. this is the
sixth sense; the unfailing tact which
shall steer its pOssessor over hidden
shoals and through breakers with un-
erring safety and win for bin or her
the harbor of popularity. Of general
good WILL
Fluency and garrulity, these are as
different, as distinct as the flowers
which we cultivate with care and the
weeds which we ceaselessly struggle to
Danish from our borders; pity that any
should be so misled as to mistake the
one for the other.
