Grabbed Age and Youth.

1.-The law" Said the Woman Who
Sees Things, Ought to regulate the
number of elderly persons living with
a young couple. veneration for gray
hairs is a laudable feeling and kind
ness toward the old calls for nothing
save praise. But it does not follow
that the young should De aged before
their time. There is a limit to the
quantity of elderliness with which
the youthful should be in enforced
association. Every human being
throws off more or less influence, ac-
cording to temperament. There is
no such thing as absolute passivity in
anybody. Even the most colorless in
dividual has an effect on others, If
only in a negative way If there are
more elderly persons in home than
young ones, the atmosphere will be
that of age. The proper proportion
of old and young should be about one
to two.-New York Press.

Amazing Garb of Parisiennes.

No wonder that in the shadow of
the new hats New York women seem
to be blind to other Paris whims OF
the moment. No longer the frou-
frou of underskirts is heard. Silk
'petticoats are scorned by the up-to-
date Parisiennes. Fashion now per-
mits only tights underneath an un-
lined skirt, so scant and tight fitting
that it falls almost like pair of
trousers. With this often is worn
a Directoire coat with tails almost
as long as the skirt. A high, stiff
ruff encircles the neck. These ruffs
are things of beauty and OF price,
the cheapest costing about SO, the
finest Ave times as much. They are
made in brilliant colors or OF plain
white with shaded edges, wired up
stiff and high, with a ribbon through
the middle tied in big bow. From
this Pierrot ruff emerges a deadly
pale face. for it is considered unfash-
ionable to have colors. With bright
red, rouged lips and nostrlls red
dened, the resemblance to Pierrot s
heightened. A huge hat jammed
down on the head and almost touch
ing the ruff at the back finishes the
startling picture of the modern Paris
society woman--New York Press.

Learn to smile; not giggle.
Nothing is more infectious and
charming than a good laugh; but

It is as rare in life as 1t is on the

one thousand amateur and profess

prizes at the first annual floral show
of the Bethlehems in Market Hall.
It was the first floral show ever held

boom the town.
With fountains playing here and
there, the Market House represented
a huge tropical garden. More than
five hundred people viewed the dis
play. One of the freak plants shown
was a green rose by o. c. Brunner.

CantanIxerous Coodness

Let not then your good be evil spo-
Ken of.-Romans 14:16.
Too much of the goodness of this
world is cantankerous goodness.
1t is a rule of universal applicable
ity full of universal fruitfulness-if
you are going to do a thing, do it,
Either come in or go out. God AL
mighty cannot make door to be
both open and shut at the same time.
III you are going to do a thing, do IL
properly. Sit down and consider the
cost If you must. though it is better
TO do the right in scorn of cost. not
so much as considering whether there
be such thing as cost.
But when you have decided to do
the right thing, do it finely, nobly,
greatly. Have you decided to give?
Then give graciously, spontaneously,
with open handed, whole hearted
Kindness, which doubles all the value
OF your giving. Consider: Why are
you helping this man at all? Why,
to help him! Out of the goodness of
your heart and out of wish to be of
service to him. Then how foolish to
do 1t In such way as to spoil his
happiness in receiving! How foolish
TO defeat your own object by a way
of doing things which brings you no
gain and involves him in loss! There
are men who have tried to do us a
Kindness, and they have set about it
In such fashion that we have not
forgiven them yet! Give or do not
give-one or the other. But If you
are to be generous. be generous gen.
erously, and get all the credit, all the
benefit, all the happiness and all the
influence for good out of IT,
SO with all life, not merely with
the giving of money, time or service
have you to make concession or ac.
cept an unpleasant position or SUBJ
NIT to an awkward fact or put YOUR
self in the position of one who ac-
knowledges error and offers frank
apology? Then do it heartily. Let
not your good be evil spoken of. Con.
cede the point or refuse it; fight and
die in your last ditch IL you think
that is Christian duty. These are
reasonable, consistent courses. But it
Is neither reasonable nor consistent.
1t is neither Christianity nor common
sense to yield grudgingly and with a
bad grace, to submit to the humilia-
tion of defeat without securing the
self-approbation which accompanies
whole heartedness, to say that you
forgive while muttering under your
breath that you will not forget, or to
offer an apology which neither salts
lies your conscience nor clears the Of
Tense
Wisdom is in this advice, the COM
mon sense of daily life. But deeper
things are in it, The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ is in the spirit
which gives itself freely, pouring out
