n WOMAN, who 'was a great
n toast and belle in her youth,
and who at middle age is
still fascinating beyond compare.
told me this little story the other
day
When I was girl, down in vir-
GINA she said, 4 had a boy friend
who was. think. the handsomest
youth | ever saw. He was like a
Greek god-a young Apollo, tall
and slender, with starry eyes and
ambrosial locks-wonderful to look
upon.
"Our families had been friends for
generations, and Tom and l played
together, and laughed together. and
danced. and rode, and frollicked to-
gether. and everywhere we went
people spoke about our looks. for
had my claims to beauty then, too
In the course of time Tom got
an appointment as cadet to An
napols | married and went to the
middle West to live, drifting about
from city to city as my husbands
business required until finally he
landed here in New York | heard
of Tom now and then, always as an
able and gallant officer, who went
up and up in the service. until now
he is the commander OF a battle
ship. But in all the 80 years since
we were boy and girl together l
never once saw him.
THE other morning. the telephone
rang, and when | answered it a
voice came over the WIRE saying:
go I am Tom Blank, and my ship
is in port here and l want to come
and see YOU
"'Ohl l gasped. How delighted
I shall be to see you again!'
Before l come l want to ask
you one question, went on the
voice. l want to ask you, Mary, II
you are as young and beautiful as
when ] saw you last?'
No answered; I am old, and
fat. and gray headed Then l said:
I want to ask you question,
Tom. Are you as handsome as you
were when | saw you last?'
No he replied; l am skinny
and scraWny. and bald headed, and
q grandfather And then" added
the woman pensively. I'VE both
laughed a little, and It came to me
that our Laughter was the oldest
thing about us, il had so much OF
the knowledge and experience OF

life in it and so little of the reck-
less JOY Of youth"
If you had been French" I said
you would not have let him come
to see you. He would not have
come If you had permitted him.
Each of you would have been too
afraid Of spelling the ideal that you
cherished of the other-the picture
that you had carried in your mem
DRY, through all the years, of beau
ty, and high spirits. and all that
goes to make up the wonder and
the glory of youth"
But we are both Americans"
the woman smiled.
Yes" l said. rather resentfully,
and you let him come to see you.
We Americans are so unsentiment-
al, and we always have the courage
of our curiosity"
Yes, he came" she said.
And how did you find him?"
asked. WAS he so terribly chang
cdr"
Il saw nothing but his SOUL" she
answered HE had gNown so fine
and beautiful in character, so broad
and intelligent that it did not mat
ter how he looked. If he had been
the living skeleton l should not
have known it,"
And If he was that kind of a
man commented ST know what
he thought of you He thought that
YOU were a thousand times more
fascinating than you were in the
most beautiful day of your girl
hood He thought how crude youth
seemed beside you, and that If you
had not found the fountain Of per-
petual youth, you had discovered
the spring of perpetual charm"
Il can't claim all that" replied
the woman modestly, but l have
tried to make an art of growing old.
Say what we will, a woman faces
the tragedy of her life when she
realizes that her cheeks are losing
their roses. her complexion its
freshness. her hair its luster, and
her figure its suppleness, She has
been accustomed to being admired.
to being fed on compliments. and
then, some day. she wakes up to
the bitter fact that nobody turns
to look at her as she passes by.
and nobody pays her any compl-
ments. And the worst Of the stu

alton is that she hasn't lost her
bons of fiattery just as well as ever.
That is the time when woman
goes to a beauty doctor and says:
Take all that 1 have and give me
back my looks and she acquires
nervous prostration trying to at
tain the waist measure of sixteen.
1t is in vain. The clock never
turns back for US What is gone
is gone, but we may get something
in place of it. Life isn't quite a
robber 1t always offers something
in exchange. if we've only intelli-
gence enough to take it.
And for our youth and beauty it
gives us experience, and sympathy,
and tact and a selfishness that no
young person ever has. There is no
other creature on earth so egotis-
tical as a pretty young girl She
thinks of nothing but herself She
considers nobody but herself She
is interested in nobody but herself.
She wants to talk of nothing but
her own affairs.
Men are also egotistical; they
are never really interested in what
a woman thinks, or knows. They
want to talk about themselves, and
that is why you so often see men
leaving debutantes to flock around

me, my dear, if when a woman's
youth begins to wane she spent
more time and effort massaging the
wrinkles out of her mind and less
in massaging the wrinkles out Of
her face, she would find it more
profitable"
What did you talk to your naval
hero about?" / asked with sudden
suspicion.
Il didn't talk l listened" she
answered with twinkling eyes.
You make me think OF some
thing that the great French ac-
tress Rhea once said to me-
said. Il was sent to interview her.
and I asked her what was the
secret of the way she retained her
youth and beauty to which she
replied with superb effrontery:
AS for my beauty, do not see
it. AS for my youth. it will go
when IT viii go, but. young or old
beautiful or ugly, | shall always
be fascinating. | shall always be

Innovations Proposed
May Be Sound.

An article by Henry Cabot Lodge
in the July issue of a magazine is
worth reading In this connection.
Perhaps the innovations proposed
by the progressives may be sound
and expedient.
1t may be that the policy Of tho
initiative, referendum and recall
may be a wise one for US to adopt
nationally, but the innovation is q
broad one, and there Is a great deal
involved in it-more than one man
out of a hundred has as yet care
fully estimated probably-and 1t is
not to be adopted till there is
studiously attained conviction and
a pretty unanimous conviction that
a change will prove to the better
ment of our condition; not until
there has been secured well con"
sidered appreciation of the success
that has been achieved by travelling
the century old road Of represen-
tative government; not until there
has been a careful weighing Of the
statesmanly character of the men
by whom the constitution was pro-
duced; not until the public mind
has been made familiar with the
processes of argument and debate
which led up to the framing of the
constitution in it's existing form,
and not until 1t has been distinctly
and satisfactorily indicated that
present national conditions so far
differ from what they were in 1887
as to render a remodeling Of the
constitution necessary or expedent'

There Is Also a
Live Conservatism.

There is, on the one hand, the
conservatism of dry rot, but there
is also a live conservatism, one
which cherishes what has been at
the same time. that it is reaching
carefully forward to what is going
to be-something as a mountain
climber keeps one foot firmly
placed on the rock which he has
reached, at the same moment that
he is getting ready to put his other
foot on the rock above.
Whether we realize 1t or not, IN
all our building we construct on the
basis of the past We are heirs of
the previous centuries. Most of
what we know; very nearly all Of
what we know, is what has been
thought out by our ancestors going
clear back to the beginning of his
tory. If we can see farther than
they. it is only because we stand
on the platform which by their
thinking and acting they have
erected for us.
All the new discoveries that are
being so numerously made in these
times are the elimination merely
of Investigations that have been in
progress for thousands Of years.
We are no brighter than our an
cestors. We see for the most part
by the inherited results of ances-
trail intelligence and research.
To think lightly Of what has been
done and to ignore those who have
done it. is to dishonor and dis
grace ourselves by our attitude of
contempt for those from whom we
have received so many and such

respect spse''s for old S5' things Per-
haps it is because we are
new people, and. therefore, pos
sessed of a lively consciousness OF
the future.
1t is not necessary to worship the
past, but we should be safer II we
had a warmer appreciation of his
toric values.
1t is a symptom of the times that
children govern their parents
Family government continues
but is vested in the offspring.
Men today are believers in the
new theology, the new morality the
new nationalism, the new thought.
Progressiveism has become a KIM
of mania. The old is discarded be-
cause it is old, not because it IS
outworn. Distinction Should be
made between different kinds OF
conservatism.

The race would be a great way
further forward than it is if it had
been willing to walk by the guild
ance of the lessons ancestrally
learned
The principle for which We are
contending applies to all kinds Of
results wrought out by previous
thinking, whether along lines Of
science, religion or politics.
A religion such as that which was
laid at the foundation of Ameri.
can life and institutions may mot
be in all respects the perfect thing.
But it has served US well. Its
principles have been a light illum-
mating not alone our own national
pathway but the pathway of all
the peoples that stand in the front
rank of current civilization, and
he is not only false to the past
but sails out wildly upon an I'M
charted sea who bluntly breaks
his connection with those views Of
life, character and action by which
for centuries the favored nations
of the earth have been guided
A candid mind will always be
willing to replace a present opin-
ion by a different one that has
been carefully proved to be better
But the brusque abandonment Of
anybody or anything that has been
tried and found faithful and helm
full betrays mind that is slovenly
in its thinking and childishly and
stupidity willful in it's planning and
purposing. Likewise in matters OF
political faith.
