METHOD OF KEEPING YOUNG
Remarkably Sound Advice for the
Woman Who Has Some Years
of Life TO Her Credit.

The way to ward of old age is not
70 fear it, not to allow ones self to
be oppressed by the dread of advanc-
ing years. Use only legitimate pre-
ventives and avoid trying experiments
with preparations not Endorsed by
physicians. Do not wear toilettes in
tended for young girls, they only add
years to the appearance. Keep up
your interest in the young, but do not
envy them. Retire with dignity from
the struggle, do not pose as your
daughters rival Above all, surround
your life with sweet, true affections
which prevent the heart from growing
bitter. Do not lose interest in the
growing events Of the day; do not fall
behind the times and do not harp on
other and better days. To those who
come to you for advice be always kind
and sympathetic. AS you advance in
years preserve carefully your personal
appearance, for once lost it may not
be regained, save by strenuous effort
Your costumes should be simple and
unpretentious, vet graceful. These
rules, carefully and sensibly followed
will keep you young and attractive

ORLEANS LOSES HOPE

hold Of those who still retain loyalty
TO a king of France is found among
the aristocracy, but even there the
sentiment is not nearly as strong as 1t
was a decade or even five years ago.
The Catholic church has always been
royalist in its tendencies, but since
the separation of church and state this
influence is not as far-reaching as it
was.
Many officers in the French army
and perhaps the majority of those
holding highest rank in the navy be-
long to the old nobility or aristocracy,
but the new generation is quickly
crowding these representatives of the
ancient life of France into the back
ground. In spite of the Socialists eff
forts to decry militarism.. the army is
intensely loyal to the republic
4 In word the old ghost, the restora-
ton of the monarchy, seems to be laid
definitely. Therefore the letter of the
Duke of Orleans. completely changing
his past plans, awakens interest only
among his few followers.

Paris-The royalists, who are al
ways fervent in France, although their
political influence ceased to be i'm

rather dismayed to receive from the
Duke of Orleans an order that he will
have no direct representative in
France hereafter.
The Duke of Orleans, the royalist
pretender TO the French throne, of
course, who is an exile in England,
writes an open letter in which he ex-
pressly says that any one assuming
to be his personal representative will
do SO without authority.
