JULIA WARD HOWE.
What She Thinks of Life at 90 Years
 of Age.
From Putnam's Magazine.

From Putnam's Magazine.
 the sweeter it grows-the sugar all at the bottom
 To be able at 90 years heartily to say these words, and to hope to live to over 100, is not merely the result of happy circumstances, but of truly vital inward force. Of Mrs. Howe one friend of long standing says that her charm is today the same in quality as at middle age, and far greater and another, that she grows not only in largeness of spirit, but in vigor of mind and youthful freshness every year. An editor of a suffrage or gan testifes that, at an age when most humanity has reached "second childish ness, and mere oblivion" even her busi- ness notes are full of delightfulness, and her occasional visit brings into the office a great wave of stimulus. Within a year she has attended and spoken at hearings on woman's suffrage at the state house In single week she has given three pub lie addresses on technical matters, and to bodies Of eXperts-one before the Re- ligious Education association, another in Italian before the C1rcolo Italiano. She is today president of the New England Women's club, as she has been for 30 years, and of the Boston Authors club; president emerita of the Circolo Italiano and of the State Federation of Women s clubs; vice-president emerita of the Ma tional Federation of Women's clubs and an interested member of the Papeterie of Newport the Wintergreen club, and other organizations.
 One touching picture of Mrs. Howe re-

mains very vivid. It was when, with a flood of sweet and caressing chatter a granddaughter burst in from a journey. The gentle lines of the old figure, looking very small and weak against the youthful one, the reverend whito head lifted to the others face-there was in 1t indescriba- ble pathos and tenderness.
 Yes" she said when l quoted the words at the beginning of this paper, that is quite true. You see, my husband was very great man: and I had very dear children and l have delightful grandchildren; and l have two great grandchildren--and l am very fond of lit- tie children"
 This was all. Wide fame memories of great days dead, honors and social rich ness of days present-of these she did not think. The secret of life kept fresh and sweet at 90 years she felt to be another matter far nearer to "the human heart, by which we live"

Five-cent theatres give illustrated songs and vaudeville interludes, and the physi- cal condition of the theatres is hardly less important than the moral character of their programmes. The board of cen sorship has undertaken to regulate all these features of the shows, and has the co operation of the organized "nickelo- deons" and of the city authorities.
 The board of censorship is only month old and it has Killed less than 10 per cent of the pictures which have been sub- mitted to its inspection. But as the re- suits will be liberal, so it is argued they will be natural, voluntary and to some ex- tent permanent "Of course, said a mem- Der of the board. we are idealists. but we shall try to be practicable idealists.

The organized exhibitors of the city peti- toned the public bodies of the city to es- tablish the-censorship. A dozen promi- nent civic organizations responded and board of censorship was formed. The ex
 hibitors association pledged its members, under penalty of expulsion, to abide by the letter and spirit of the censorship. and the manufacturers themselves professed that the censorship was welcome arri- val As for the expense of the censorship, amounting to several hundred dollars a month, the theatres themselves pay this. All members of the censorship board serve without pay, but the expenses of office rent and clerical help are considerable
 The board of censorship has the Rev. George William Knox of the Union The ological Seminary for it's chairman. and among Its members are representatives of the public schools of educational ani vigilance societies and even managers of moving picture theatres. It censors every moving picture put on the New York market The inspection is done at the theatres, but at the offices of the manu- facturers, and pictures are seen several weeks in advance of the time for making them public. Thus the manufacturers are notified beforehand that this or that pie ture or part of picture will be objected to, and are saved the expense of putting it on the market and having it refused by the theatres and possibly prosecuted in the criminal courts. The manufacturers have even gone fartl.er, and the Motion Pictures Patents company has establishe a national board of censorship, whic'. works in conjunction with the New York board of censors and which will result in a gradual improvement of the moving pie ture programmes of the entire country
 But moving pictures are only a part of the programmes of most "nckelodeon.
