OLD MAN OR YOUNG?
ONE OF PROBLEMS OF
MARRIAGEABLE GIRL
By DOROTHY DIX.

middle-aged. Comparatively few girls
have cupidity enough to pass I'D Cupid
and marry a septuagenarian, even
though he is strung with diamonds and
automobiles, but fOrty-fve, or even
forty, seems Old to sweet-and-twenty
when she is called upon to choose be-
tween suitor Of that age and one who
is well OH the sunny side of thirty.
The arguments that are advanced to
support the advantage of the man who
is old enough to be her father are
mainly of a materialistic kind. and the
most convincing of them is that the
middle-aged man can generally give his
wife better house to live in. and more
money to spend than young man can,
Bachelor Has Time
To Make a Fortune.
The fat and bald-headed bachelor or
widower has had time to make his for
tune. He IS beginning to reap the re-
wards of the striving and effort of his
youth, and undoubtedly when he does
take a young wife late in life he looks
fupon her somewhat as he does upon a
pIaything-a doll dressed up in gewgawS,
or a piece of Dresden china to be put
up as an ornament in the parlor, and
exhibited to his friends along with his
other bric-a-brac.
Managing mammas do not fail to point
out to their daughters that the second
wife almost invariably profits by the
economies and sacrifices Of the first
wife; that the first wife wears made
over clothes and the second wife i'm
ported French gowns; that the first wife
spent her time rustling with the cooking
stove and the sewing machine, while
the second wife employs her leisure in
playing bridge; that the first wife walked
and wheeled her own baby carriage,
while the second wife lolls back in q
limousine.
Help Make It,
Or Help Spend 1t?
Which would you rather do?' says
mother help a man make his fortune,
or help him spend it?' Then mother
enlarges on the fact that the girl who
marries a middle-aged man is getting a
sure thing in matrimony. He has had
his fling, he has sown his wild oats.
His habits are formed His character
settled, and his wife will run none OF
the risks that the woman does VINO
marries the young man. Moreover, by
the time a man reaches middle age he
has generally acquired the virtues OF
patience, forbearance, and tact, ana
these are pretty good maritime insur-
ance in setting out on the stormy DO
mestic sea-
Unfortunately. however. these plau-
sibe theories in regard to the advan-
tages of a girl marrying a man much
older than herself do not work out
satisfactorily in practice, and probably
no woman in the world is ever so dis
appointed in matrimony as she VINO
marries under the expectation of being
all "old mans darling
The role is one that looks attractive.
especially when it is gilded with plenty
! of money: but any young woman who
marries an old man thinking she is
going to make him dance at her pleas

| the mistake of her life. Age is not
plastic It is not adaptable. It is
''sot" in it's ways. Its little routine of

evitable conflict of two personalities 1t

A MONG the problems of matri-

is whether it is better to marry
an old man or a young man
whether 1t is better, as the old saw
has it, ito be an old mans darling or

The one estate appeals to a girls
selfishness: the other to her romance,
and the way that she decides the ques-
ton depends upon whether she has more
sentiment than practicality, whether she
is ruled by her head or her heart.
OF course, the term old man." matri-
monially speaking, is used in a relative

Not all household linens nowadays
come from Ireland or are the product
of German looms. Japan now contrib
utes its quota and, like everything else
that comes from the FloWery Kingdom,
the Japanese ones are remarkable for
daintiness. Such are the exquisite little
hand-drawn doilies. centerpieces and
luncheon cloths displayed in one of the
shops. The very smallest and simplest
ones are only S cents, hemstitching in
one or more rows being their only
adornment. On the larger and more
expensive pieces, butterflies, wreaths,
flowers and antique patterns beautify
corners and centers, and are developed
with exquisite patience and detail. The
centerpieces are from 80 cents to $500,

METHODS TO USE
IN PLAYING BLOCKS
Various Forms Can Be
Outlined In Building

-HE forms which may be made
from the blocks are of two kinds,
usually called forms of life, those

lOI VI llISB lIOSo
forms which suggest some Of the
objects which are seen around us every
day, and forms of beauty which are
those which appeal to the imagination
by symmetry or rhythm of line. The
forms representing objects will naturally
come first.
When Ned is building with his blocks,
AMI he will be happy by himself for a
long time, he will naturally first try to
represent those things which he sees
oftenest-a table. a chair. a bed. But
when he begins. Mamma, what shall
make now?' you had best be pre-
pared to suggest. and show him how.
If necessary. Use all the eight blocks
in everything you build, and try to
tell stories which will appeal TO Ned

Justice Aiken, of the Suffolk Superior
Court, for an immediate trial on the
ground that he is innocent ~
This bold move is said to have been
lat the request of Miss Violet Ed

Richeson expected to marry October
81. Miss Edmands has kept in COM
munication almost hourly with Richie
son in his cell in the Charles Street
jail, and has insisted that all import
ant conferences between the law
yers be held at her fathers home in
order that she could take part.
The appeal to Justice Aiken was
made by Congressman H. c. Harris,
the new attorney i'll the case. He de-
clared the, district attorney had net
established a case against Richeson
and demanded that the court force
the prosecution to an immediate
trial, whether or not an indictment is
returned by the grand jury.
He objected to the clergymen being
held in Jail while the authorities, as
he said, took time to work up a case
against Richeson.

suited in an announcement that the

SMITH SEES MIR. TAFT
Says Sentiment Must Be Reclaimed
For Chief Executive In That
State Without Delay

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 28.-President
Taft heard some unvarnished truths
concerning the political situation in
Illinois today that set him thinking.
collector of internal revenues and,
being a federal office holder, quite
in sympathy with the President, call
ed upon Mr.. Taft at his hotel and
conferred for sometime over the Re-
publican lineup.
Col Smith informed the President
that the Taft admission needs, just
now, a strong leader in this state to
jump into the fight and hold off the
anti-Taft sentiment. The Colonel
would be willing to undertake the
work but he is hard at it right now
trying to frame up things so he can
capture the Republican nomination
for governor.
In a talk after leaving the Presi-
dent, Col. Smith declared frankly:
Someone has got to organize the
Taft forces for the 1912 campaign
and do it in "a hurry. If Mr. Taft ex-
poets to carry Illinois his supporters
must do some hard work for him. l
am hoping that by the time the Presi-
dents stay in Chicago is over some
definite line of activity will be de-
cided upon.'
Col. Smith conferred with Secretary
Hil1es after leaving the President and
went into details to show how inn
portant it is that no time be lost to
counterfeit the Progressive sentiment
that is gaining ground in the state.
The Colonel reminded Mr.. Hilles that
Senator LaFollette's campaign man
ayers are to open campaign headquar-
ters in Chicago Monday and that as
yet, not move has been made for
the President
"Of course, no one expects Presi-
dent Taft's headquarters to be started
up" remarked the Colonel But
what is needed is to get the people
thinking of what the President has
actually done and create sentiment
for him for 1912. This must be done
before it is too late and Illinois will
be lost to him.
Mr.. Taft, it is admitted on every
hand, has lost ground in Illinois be-
cause of his actions with respect to
the Tariff. His "Standpat" policies
and his failure to come out decisive
ly for definite tariff reform legisla-
ton has forfeited support that he
m. ght otherwise easily have counted
upon"
Mr.. Taft will be in Chicago long
enough to find out all he needs to
know Of the state situation. After
he gets through it is expected that
an active campaign will be started to
shape up the situation for 1912.
Mr.. Taft put in an active day here.
Political conferences occupied his
time in the morning, up to the mo-
ment It was necessary to leave for
