METHOD OF KEEPING YOUNG
Remarkably Sound Advice for the

The way to ward OF old age is not

Miss Weston, Capitalist
By CLAUDINE SISSON

There is an old saying to the er-
feet that when man goes a-hshing
he doesn't know what may happen.
Perhaps Mr.. Guy Hilton had never
heard anything about it. but he went
a-f1shing and many things happened
that he did not look for.
Mr. Hilton went with little party
OF three. and the quartette camped on
Loon lake and fshed. It was called
Loon lake. because no one unless he
was looney ever went there thinking
to catch fish. After a couple of weeks
;Mr Hilton was taken with chills and
had to go to farm house and call a
doctor, and the other three broke camp
and went home.
In two weeks the patient was cured
and ready to follow. Then came an
other unexpected thing. When the doc
tor and the farmer had been paid Mr..
Hilton found himself stone broke.
When a man IL stone broke he hasn't
got nicked in his pockets. 1t would
be all right, however, when the pen
niless man got down to the village Of
Rockford Some merchant there
would cash his check on a city bank.
Mr.. Guy Hilton didn't look like a
confidence man. He wasn't sly. sleek
and slick. Like any other man with
fair bank account and reasonable
trust in human nature, he wrote out a
check for four dollars and asked the
leading merchant In the town to
cash it.
THAT game is too old even for this
village" was the reply.
Game? Game? | have money in

man.
But you ought to have it in your

But of what interest to me? l am

they get into"
Ho'. foolish the stone broke man
had been to apply to a stranger, when
he could telephone to friend in the
city and have hundred dollars sent
up. He went to the postofice, which

MAKEUP OF THE COUTURE

This year there is little absolute
novelty In the matter of hair ar

changes, though subtle, are none the
less potent-a frequent experience as
is demonstrated when one puts on
an old hat, carefully cherished, even
when no distinct change in fashion
has taken place.
The most important aspect Of the
couture nowadays is the silhouette it
produces, a fact in union with the
whole spirit of dress. And this is
the first point to be carefully no
ticed and attained. A low, full out
line is the one most generally sought
after, and attained quite easily by the
aid of many clever frames and ad-

indefinitely and may be used again

In millinery many cheap furs are

is being cut up-the good parts pieced
into bands and used to decorate such
sets. Sometimes ba., is included in
