"As l was goin' to remark, little
GIRL" resumed the colonel after he had
arranged himself comfortably in the
big armchair, I've got some rather
peculiar notions about keepin' young.
I'm a long ways from being an old
man yet, but I've been around here q
considerable time, and maybe l can
give you some pointers on what every
woman wants to know.
Il reckon you've heard that old song
about a woman bein' as old as she
looks. while mans just as old as he
feels. Well. there's some truth I'm the
distinction, for looks have a whole
lot more to do with woman than a
man; but. all the same, it's the feelin'
that counts In the long run, and 1t
counts just as much for one sex as
1t does for the other. You're goin' to

FATHER KNEW WHAT TO DO.
4 Child In Subway Train Who Cried
Once Too Often,

- SH"o w SUBWAY tram VINO Cried
Once Too Often.
An italian with his wife and two
little children got into a New York
subway train bound uptown. There
we're seats enough. SO the wife with
one child In arms sat down. The
man, carrying the other infant, pre-
pared to take seat.
The moment he sat down the little
girl In his arms set up a cry. She
wouldn't stop until the man got up.
For time. as long as he remained
standing. she was quiet. The moment
he started again to be seated she
walled again.
So he had to remain standing. The
child then reached for the cord by
which the signals are given from car
to car. 1t was too high above her
head. So she cried again.
The father tried to divert her at.
t.ntion to the straps as being more
worthy OF her notice. But she wouldn't
lie appeased. What was he to do?
Soon answered. He turned the baby
over his knee as he sat down firmly
ind gave her something to cry for.
A shocked look came over that little
girls face and then, after a few last
Fowls, she was very silent.
Her father sat there with a look as
ef one who has solved a problem.

But, this food must be digested

play, Marrying Mary" to be
played by Florence Gear at the Ia
coma theater Sunday and Monday,
is a bewildering creature, light
and volatile, picturesque woman
Of the world. Excitement is her
meat and drink. She finds the
monotony of the average woman's
life as dull as dishwater. She
Graves new interests, new sensa-
lions. She has an abnormal in
stinct Of enjoyment. Always cor
rect. and always elegant, Marry
ing Mary is continually bathed in
romance. Adventure Is her daily
diet, but adventure never lowered
to the depth of intrigue. Her life
is wholesome and rich in the es-
sentials of living. She skins over
the common, elemental qualities of
humanity and seizes upon the
more highly seasoned phases of
existence, revealing in life's ex-
.travaganzas, that to others would
seem too impossible. Mary is so
universally popular one would i'm

set herself the task of running
the heart of every man in her
path. Her sincerity and earnest
